Hi all - sorry I fell off the radar this weekend. I spent the whole weekend feeling ill, not sick, but just not quite right either. I told my husband that if I didn't know better, I'd swear I was pregnant. But I DO know better....after our last one (unplanned but very much loved) we could off the major supply routes and closed down that factory!
Anyway, I'm feeling better today and wanted to give you all an update on the blue chair and a look at some of the great buys I made this weekend at a killer estate sale! So first, blue vintage garden chair. After I'm finished with this project, I will post a step by step guide on doing it yourself. But I've been so busy doing it, I haven't photographed or videotaped the project as I wanted to. So here is where we are pot chosen, hole in set cut to size, Talavera tile bought and smashed (my favorite part) and the mosaic completed on the seat. Today, the whole thing should be dry and I can plant the pot and it will be ready to dress up someones flowerbeds, patio or yard. So here are some updated pictures:

Final photos and step-by-step-coming soon!
Here's a look at some of the great stuff I got this weekend that is on the upcycling list! Keep coming back for more fun stuff, great projects and advice on putting your finds to work!
 |
| Yummy, wool hand-knit cable blanket. Weighs about 10 pounds. The best part? It's reminds of the Love Plus One video from Haircut 100...cute boys in all white cable knit sweaters. $5 |
 |
| Paid way too much for this, but haven't seen too many this ornate in this good of shape, so I had to have it! $62.50 |
 |
| Vintage embroidery in butter yellow and linen white. Looking to reframe it to bring out the colors more. $6 |
 |
| Plaster rose heart frame. Thinking about painting this in a glossy black, silver or red finish. $1 | | | | |
