Wow, It's been a week without blogging... Sorry

So all you need is to be creative enough to take something old and create something new. Rhonda has been at it again............ She made this wonderful "One of a Kind" bench and then we put an ornamental metal bird hanger with hooks on it. If you aren't creative enough than this one can be yours for $129.99

After we put it in place at the shop we decorated it up some. That is probably the funnest part of my whole job. When you get to create a warm and inviting space out of something so simple. We hope you get to swing by and check out some of the new things we have to offer. I will write again tomorrow about the new babies..... They are Denise and Nikki's favorite. NOT.......

Old Things

With a little love and care, and some time to spare so many, many things can take a new shape.

I should have taken a before and an after picture........
It was a twin bed. I gave it to Rhonda, she made it into a bench and I distressed it today. Gosh we make a great pair. I can't wait to put it outside.
Who ever knew that old things could look so great.
Have a great day and remember "it's Always Worth The Trip @ Silkweeds"

Inventive Recycled Arty-Facts

Oh my goodness, I love having such talented friends. Rhonda, a great friend of mine, and the former owner of Robertson's Haberdashery has inspired me so much this week. I meant to take a picture of the Angels that she makes, I do have one for sale right now. But here is a bench that was made out of a door and a dresser. It is to die for!!! So very sweet. In this economy I must admit that I have a harder time finding things that inspire me. Things that get me all wound up and gets my mind working. Today as this piece came together in my backroom, I was inspired, my mind began to work and think up new (old) projects that can take shape, not only in my mind but in my shop. I love to be inspired this way.

I am so fortunate that I have such talented friends. Rhonda, with her Arty-Facts, -Denise, with her felted bags, bowls, bunnies and so much more. (Both of their talents are so unlimited), - Connie with her needlework, Bill & Tish with Wreaths, and so many more. So some days when I am not so inspired, all I really need to do is look around my shop and let my friends inspire me.
