Happy Monday!
We're digging out from a very early winter storm. The view outside is beautiful but inside it's warm and cozy!
Aged metal intriques me. I’m not sure what it is, but I love creating surface designs. Perhaps, it’s because there is a bit of mystery and wonder as to what will happen. I combined this technique, with polymer clay and some vintage bottles from our family farm to create this winter inspired home décor project.
I'm sharing one of my favorite types of projects - my Trash To Treasure projects. I discovered this treasure on a recent trip to the treasure ditch. It's such an easy project and adds a sweet touch to my home decor!
