Photo Holder Christmas Tree...my first official Christmas project...

Well, it's official...I'm thinking Christmas.

We added Christmas to our booth at Antiques Downtown last week...so that got me going.

We decided on a "Christmas Trees for Sale" theme...so I've been focusing on re-purposed tree ideas.

  

(These are just a couple of quick pictures I took with my phone.  We plan to go back and add some twinkle lights...so I'll take better pictures then to show you more.)

And now everything is starting to look like a "tree"...including this old post card holder.

I just tied on some twine in a tree shape...top to bottom.

Added some keys and buttons for "ornaments".

And of course you need a pretty "topper".

Just add photos or cards and you've got yourself a conversation piece for the Holidays.

So how about you...ready to get started on Christmas??  Before blogging I always waited until the weekend after Thanksgiving.  But since I'm already in the "spirit" and I don't entertain for Thanksgiving...I'm thinking I might as well get started.  Then I can enjoy it for the whole month of December :)

Re-purposing for FALL...revisiting...

I love fall and I LOVE re-purposing...here's a little peek back at some things I've made in past years...

Basket ball hoop turned XL pumpkin :)

Bread board turned chalkboard pumpkin.

An orange Bundt pan turned pumpkin wreath.

Vintage knob to cute little rusty pumpkin.

And a broom top turned unexpected centerpiece.

So that's a few "blasts from the pasts".  

I haven't done too much for here for fall...yet.  I'm hoping to change that today.  I may have to run out for a pumpkin spice latte for "inspiration"??

Thanks for stopping by!

Chat soon,
