Repurposed Clock and Vase Angel...

Is it really January 15th already?

I guess this is my first post in 2016...

Happy New Year!

Since repurposed angels have sort of become my "thing"...I guess it's a good way to start the year.

Empty Clock Christmas Shadow Box...Vintage Repurposing FUN :)

Can I show you something else I made for Christmas?

Vintage Clock Shop Sign...and encouraging creativity...

If you follow me on Instagram, Facebook or Twitter, you may have already seen my vintage clock shop sign.  My husband an I bought it on our little anniversary getaway to the Central Iowa Junk Jaunt a few weeks ago.

 I purchased it at the Broadstreet Market in Story City, Iowa.

Repurposed Vase Ladies...

Meet "The Girls"...

I found a couple of cracked vases at garage sales recently.  I decided they might be finished being "useful"...but they weren't done being "pretty".

 Flipped upside down they looked a like a skirt and a couple of arms to me.  How about you?

 Add a clock for a head...

 ...and some jewels, of course.

 What do you think?  Do you see "her"?

 I'm pretty sure my inspiration for these lovely ladies came from these little sugar bowl cuties by Betsy of MY SALVAGED TREASURES.

Don't you love them?

For now they are enjoying their new home on top of the hutch in my Great Room.  They might make their way to our booth...soon :)

Vintage Doll House, Repurposed Shelf...and empty clock photo holders...

 You may have seen a little peek at this a couple of weeks ago on Facebook and Instagram...

I've had this vintage doll house on a shelf in my basement for years.

 I finally brought it up and out of that sad place.

 I think it makes a fun little shelf in my Great Room.

The windows were missing...so I just used some scrapbook paper to cover them up.

  Filled with some vintage clocks and signs...it has a new lease on life :)

 Side note...

I bought a couple of these empty clocks at an occasional sale a while back.  A little embellishment and a button magnet makes it a great place for a special family photo.

It has a new home on top of this little Ikea cabinet.  I bought it to stash some of my creative supplies in the dining room portion of my Great Room...aka "studio".

  Still getting organized here :)

Ready for Santa...a mini faux fire place...

I've had this old broken clock for a while now.

With all the faux fireplaces out there this year, I decided it was time for a little fun with this one.

I just drew a "fire" with chalk on to black construction paper and used glue dots to attach it.  

(Sorry, I can draw as well as I sing...not good!)

A little star garland...more fun.

There we go...mini fire place ready for mini Santa.

With Christmas less than a week away...I hope you are taking time to ENJOY the "little" details :)

Time Flies...

You know the saying..."Time Flies"...and in this case I took it literally :)

A bunch of vintage clocks, twiggy wreaths, shredded paper and cardboard wings.

I just drew the wings freehand and attached them with glue dots.  I didn't want to ruin the clock for a collector.

Little vintage dishes were the final touch to hold it all together.

Here they are all lined up at the Junk Market Under Glass show last weekend.  You can see more photos from our booth through the links below...

Grubby Box of Clock Stuff...

So I happened upon this box of grubby old clocks and parts at a garage sale the other day for $10.

Four old cool looking clocks...

...this cool black clock face...

...and other assorted parts and pieces.

I almost didn't buy it...

When it comes to garage sales, I'm a "bargain hunter" but I hate negotiating...I need my hubby along for that.  So if the price is higher than I want to spend I usually just pass...but this time I actually REALLY wanted it...so I tried...no go.  So I said "thanks anyway" and walked away...as far as my car...and then my son said "Why didn't you buy it mom?  Don't you have $10 in your pocket?".  I did...I was being stubborn. I went back and bought it with a smile on my face...and no regrets.  I'll have fun with these little grubby goodies :)

So how 'bout you?  Would you have bought it for $10?  And how do you feel about negotiating?  Fun or stressful?
