A Darling Vintage Jewelry Holder...


 Hi Sweet Friends,

Hope all of you are having
a good week so far.
I have been doing a bit of
resting lately as I have a lot
of pain in my right hip. I have
Bursitis in the hip and if you
have ever experienced the
pain from bursitis you will
understand. Prolonged walking
makes it more painful. I did
have a cortisone shot in my
hip about 4 weeks ago but
it wore off quickly.

Ahh well enough about that!!

I am showing you something
that I bought at an estate sale
a while ago. It is a revolving/
tilting wooden picture frame,
which sits on a weighted stand
of rather hefty metal. The inner
frame that turns over was rather
wobbly.  I have had it on my work
table for awhile wondering how to
bring it to life once again. On the same
table I have a couple of baskets with
lovely doilies...and the thought came to me
to  incorporate the lace with this frame.
I used an automatic staple gun to attach
the doily, added some bits and bobs
and Viola'!!

I have placed it in my Antique booth now....
Don't you think it would look darling
on someones vanity or dresser?


I chose not to paint it as the
wood has a glint of gold here
and there. The wood is really beautiful.
and the pictures do not give it justice
to it's beauty. It looks to me like it
is from the 1920's or 30's...what do you
think??

Tell me what your up to this week....
I love your comments and visits so much!!
I look forward to hearing for you. :)

Love and Blessings to All,

Susan
xxoo

    I am so inspired by your creativity! I have had a few discouraging moments but using this time to spend praying and seeking after God's heart. I feel that I am where He wants me to be in spite of my circumstance. Thank you for asking and for your prayers.

    I am sorry honey that your hurting. I feel terrible that I have not called you.
    My days are gone before I know it. We have had so much rain that I can not catch up outside.
    Been mowing like a crazy woman.
    I hope by now your feeling much better.
    Love how your mirror frame turned out. You won't have it long if you put it in your shop.
    Hope that is going well for you too.
    Clint had his biopsy done today so I am waiting on the results. They told him 48 hours but maybe they won't keep us waiting that long.
    Love you honey.

    How pretty this is, Susan! I made something similar years ago but with a plain mesh. I never thought of using vintage lace! Double use: earring holder AND pretty decor accessory!

    I have posted your giveaway and thanked you officially on my blog...so make your way on over! chickie.

    I do hope your pain in the hip subsides....it's not fun dealing with any sort of pain.....even a tooth ache can suck the joy and life right out of you! lol so hang in there...rest when you can...and catch up on your reading! I have so many books that I need to get to......but March break is right around the corner...so maybe I'll squeeze in some nightly reading after a day with the kids!

    Susan, sorry to hear you have been having so much pain, hope you get to feeling better real quickly from now. Pain is such a hard thing to deal with, hard to describe.

    I have a frame very much like the one you are showing here. It has a picture of my grandmother in it. It is wobbly too but I have it propped up. Love it!

    Get well soon my friend.

My Beautiful Sam Passed Away This Afternoon......

Image
Hello Dear Friends, With an extremely heavy heart I tell you that I have lost my little friend tonight. I thought he was having hairball problems and so my husband and I brought him to the vets late this afternoon. Upon arrival Sam was gasping for breath and they rushed him into a room and gave him ogygen. The nurse asked us if she could take an x-ray to see what was going on. When the nurse came back to the room she told us the devastating news, that Sam had a tumor next to his heart and that his lungs were filled with fluid. I was just floored....I am still in shock. We had Sam for 4 1/2 years and he was...well how do I explain to you the love that he gave us....he was always there for me....he would lie by my side in bed when I was ill and after two major surgeries....he would eat, have is water, and just stay with me. I always said he was a gift from God and he truly was. Tonight this is what I have learned.....even after my Sam has passed away he leaves this last gift   ....

Friends and Flowers

Hi Blogging Friends, I wanted to share this lovely bouquet of flowers that was brought to my door this afternoon. My dear friend Maggie sent these to me for my birthday.....they are so Beautiful and Maggie is an absolute doll to think of me. I know we all talk about our friendships here in blogland that we have found, and I know we appreciate each other very much. My life has changed so much in the last 9 years. I have had many surgeries and things going wrong physically which limited me quite a bit. Since 2003 I have not been able to drive anymore and that in itself was a big blow to me. I inherited a rare disease of the corneas in which I have had multiple surgeries for over the years, hence no more driving. Well I can go on but I will stop there. The real point in all of this is I have been lonely and needed somehow to connect with people and then I discovered the World of Blogging!!  WOW...I never dreamed that I would meet such loving and caring folks....
