How about a painted tin - just add holes. </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=1267#post-18601 Sun, 27 Jun 2010 05:40:56 +0000 dianeinthevalley 18601@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>That is so cool!

I try to make the spoons the same length with a spoon also hanging in the middle. Yes, I hang the object up while doing so I can see what it looks like and judge spoon length. Hope this helps. </p> <p>I'm taking part in my daughter's place of employment's annual "Junk in the trunk" sale and am making wind chimes to sell there.</p> <p>LuAnn </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=1254#post-18400 Fri, 11 Jun 2010 16:09:25 +0000 Leveta 18400@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>I want to make a windchime out of a copper looking teapot.

She and her husband were planning a week's vacation in Florida, so she wrote to a particular campground asking for a reservation. She wanted to make sure the campground was fully equipped, but didn't quite know how to ask about the toilet facilities. She just couldn't bring herself to write the word "toilet" in her letter. After much deliberation, she finally came up with the old-fashioned term BATHROOM COMMODE. But when she wrote that down, she still thought she was being too forward. So she started all over again and rewrote the entire letter referring to the bathroom commode merely as the BC. "Does the campground have it's own BC?" is what she actually wrote.</p> <p>Well, the campground owner wasn't old-fashioned at all, and when he got the letter, he just couldn't figure out what the woman was talking about. That BC business really stumped him. After worrying about it for awhile, he showed the letter to several campers, but they couldn't imagine what the lady meant either. So the campground owner, finally coming to the conclusion that the lady must be asking about he local Baptist Church, sat down and wrote the following reply:</p> <p>Dear Madam:<br /> I regret very much the delay in answering your letter, but I now take pleasure in informing you that a BC is located nine miles north of the campground and is capable of seating 250 people at one time. I admit it is quite a distance away, if you are in the habit of going regularly, but no doubt you will be pleased to know that a great number of people take their lunches along and make a day of it. They usually arrive early and stay late. It is such a beautiful facility and the acoustics are marvelous. Even the normal delivery sounds can be heard.</p> <p>The last time my wife and I went was six years ago, and it was so crowded we had to stand up the whole time we were there. It may interest you to know that right now a<br /> supper is planned to raise money to buy more seats.</p> <p>I would like to say it pains me very much not to be able to go more regularly, but it surely is no lack of desire on my part. As we grow old, it seems to be more of an effort, particularly in cold weather.</p> <p>If you do decide to come down to our campground, perhaps I could go with you the first time you go, sit with you, and introduce you to all the other folks.Remember, this is a friendly community.</p> <p>Sincerely,<br /> Campground Owner </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=1173#post-17841 Mon, 26 Apr 2010 07:52:39 +0000 jillruth 17841@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>Those are really neat.

I thought for sure I lost the tips of my fingers and there I was trying to get the darn door open and it had locked and I had to twisted my body around to unlock.. it was a sight.. but I can laugh about it now..

I was getting cabin fever and so I go to Lowes or to a garden store.. I like to go to the back of Lowes garden store early in the mornings as they have some of their flowers and bushes that are not looking so good and lots of time have them 75% off.. I picked up three more rose bushes.. for $4.25 each and they are really nice.. took them home cut off the dead branches and planted them last night.. that makes about 10 rose bushes I now have in my yard.. hope they all do as well as my yellow ones.. they bloom 4 times in the summer.. and are so pretty.. I am trying to root some cuttings this year too. well I also almost lost the tips of two of my fingers on that little trip as I was closing the back door of the Explorer and forgot to pull my hand away fast enought and caught my pointer and middle finger in the door.. I cussed like a sailor and had one heck of a time getting the door open again.. I thought for sure I lost the tips of the fingers.. but I just brusied them really good and will more than likely lose the nails on them both.. Oh well , dumb me.. in a hurry.. I am trying to slow down.. take time for me.. I have always been one to do thing right now.. but these two fingers are telling me something.. like OUCH...OUCH OUCH LIKE HELL... </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=367#post-17591 Fri, 16 Apr 2010 08:41:56 +0000 magark 17591@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>This is a couple of pictures of our azaleas in our backyard this year.

What do you use to hold it off of, but still attached to the lid so the feed can flow? Is the top of the can just open?

I wonder if you could use a regular can opener in a few places then open them a bit with a nail or a knife - wedge it in there and twist back and forth until the hole is the size you want. </p> <p>One year my son made some bird houses out of big olive oil cans - he drilled a big door hole and a little perch hole by clamping a piece of wood inside the can and then drilled into the can. Had to smooth out the hole real good. Then he crushed the top part of the can in a treadle hammer (blacksmith tool) then bent the crushed part to cover the hole for a little roof. He put a wire in the corner of the bend to hang them. They came out pretty cute - could have been bigger for the birdie. </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=1178#post-17567 Wed, 14 Apr 2010 21:06:09 +0000 KudzuKween 17567@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>i dug out some goodies and meant to make bird feeders. but i couldn't make the holes in the bottoms so the feed could come out. i wanted to use a punch can opener..church key type....but i couldn't find it, and the stores had none!<br /> so...does anyone know how i can punch out some nice neat holes? just large enough for bird seed to come out...<br /> thank you!</p> <p> </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=1173#post-17546 Tue, 13 Apr 2010 20:33:55 +0000 mcnaughton 17546@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>so pretty, and such a nice backdrop for the photo...what did you use as hangers? </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=1173#post-17545 Tue, 13 Apr 2010 19:43:08 +0000 dianeinthevalley 17545@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>Really nice, what did you do with the handles of the forks?

On the one hand, might be interesting to observe them if they nested....but I was more concerned with their hunting, as we have a sweet little barn kitty named "Hope" (eagles will take kittens). So we thought &#38; thought --finally called the DNR -- would it be O.K. to hang a set of large Wind Chimes off those trees to persuade the eagles to move on? Totally fine--so we hung the chimes on the hilltop - no eagles since. I await their distant, protective sound some evening.<br /> Kari </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=1140#post-17310 Mon, 29 Mar 2010 17:00:41 +0000 kimmykat 17310@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>The oxygen tanks I hear ringing daily are when the delivery guys are moving them around on our cement floors so I imagine they sound pretty neat made into chimes.

Does anyone get Country Garden magazine? I got my latest edition the other day, and it showed a good way to make the planter in the chair. Remove the seat, then staple chicken wire in it's place, sort of in a bowl shape. Then lay a coconut shell in the chicken wire, add your potting soil and flowers. </p> <p>Sometimes it's hard to find a pot the right size, I'm thinking the chicken wire and coconut shell would adapt to about any size.

The stamp sets from Harbour Freight don't hold up too good on stainless steel - you really need to stick with a softer metal. The video on youtube is really good to watch before starting your project.

You choose the letter to put in the handle and hammer it with a hammer. You have to remove each letter and place in the next each time. I watched a you tube video on how to do it. She used sharpies to darken hers in so that's what I used. Then fine steel wool to clean off the excess.<br /> I want to make some labeled with herbs. I've seen a lot of those around in various forms. </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=1043#post-16084 Thu, 04 Feb 2010 12:59:27 +0000 Prior 16084@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>what did you stamp them with.

I don't know where the picture came from but the image was posted as a visual to do just that. Last I knew pictures taken at public places could be shared. Maybe you should have posted a sign at your booth saying &quot;Picture taking is prohibited&quot;<br /> As far as it being YOUR invention, these pots in various form have been around for years. I just googled &quot;Hanging Tipsy Pots&quot; and found these.So Moderator go ahead and remove the above pic, we'll keep these pictures to inspire others.</p> <p>Oh and welcome to the Junk Revolution.</p> <p>Linda</p> <p> </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=583#post-13024 Thu, 15 Oct 2009 02:33:53 +0000 mpmccarthytx 13024@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>The picture posted by thehillbillies was taken at the flea market in Tyler Texas. This is a product I invented, produce, and sell. The person who took this picture did so without my permission and I would appreciate it if this image were removed from this thread. </p> <p>On the other hand I am generally very cooperative with folks who want to make their own hanger and I would be happy to share the design with anyone forthright enough to ask.

I have also seen that cupcakes are often decorated and displayed on tiered servers on table buffets.

I will let you know if I get to any of the shops.. Gigi, do you have any Goodwill shops or thrift stores, of<br /> they sometimes have some different glass vases and candy dishes , etc. also check yard sales and do not be afraid to ask any of your friends if they have any old vases they want to get rid of.. I can remember times when I wanted to get rid of all the old vases I had..now I wish I had them back..LOL our sources are endless. </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=772#post-12655 Mon, 28 Sep 2009 19:56:30 +0000 gigi 12655@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>i'm not sure, so this is in question form for all the totem ladies???</p> <p>since red is hard to find in glass what do you think of mixing some heavy plastic pieces in red/green, etc into the glass mix? hold or not sturdy enough? </p> <p>also....i think santa, elves, sleigh, snowmen, etc would be cute under glass in those, for christmas time. </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=772#post-12646 Mon, 28 Sep 2009 10:53:54 +0000 lovetogarden46 12646@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>Ladies the other side of the room has an ironing board, trunk,sewing machine!!

I've sold several already this summer. I want to do the spring fling here. I've sold them on Craigslist! I ask $35.00 for them. Everyone says I'm to cheap but you know in these hard times I'd like for someone to be able to afford them and enjoy them.<br /> I"m going to make a red and green one (if I can find the glass) red's really hard to find.for my Christmas things!

LOL one thing about the salsa.. is I can do certin part of it all at once and then work on the other parts as time allows.. I will peel all at once.. put in plastic bags and them as time allows during the day do a batch at a time.. son has to work all weekend so no help on that end.. but I am happy he is working , cause he is working for my new deck and siding. Works his tail off.. he works a full time job and then works side jobs on weekends and at night to save money for all goodies... like the new deck, etc. I am blessed. plan on going to visit Lev in Oct. and have been working the auctions to find good stuff to take to her.. problem is.. I have an explorer.. can put seats down.. but I have to watch what all I try to put in there.. it sure isn't a 18 wheeler truck which sometimes I think it is.. LOL you would be suprised what all I have had in that explorer.. so far I am putting in chairs, urns, shelfs, and I just remembered Lev. I have some neat Chrismas stuff..that you can sell.. I will send you pics and you can tell me if you would like them.. I have no more use for them as with redoing the house and all they are taking up space.. I have two stuffed doll types raindeers dressed in<br /> Christmas outfits.. long legs and all and a beautiful gold/metal standing raindeer.. oops here I go again.chat chat chat.....got to get back to work..<br /> Huggy </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=714#post-11971 Wed, 09 Sep 2009 14:57:35 +0000 Lorene 11971@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>Our garden floated away with our daily rain! </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=714#post-11919 Tue, 08 Sep 2009 14:25:03 +0000 paintwife 11919@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>I didn't plant a vegetable garden this year, things were really hectic at planting time and I never got the time.<br /> But boy did my flowers go nuts, they seemed to like the cooler weather we had this year.<br /> I do seem to have an extraordinary crop of !#@$%^ fruit flies.<br /> LOL</p> <p>Linda </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=714#post-11907 Tue, 08 Sep 2009 10:22:41 +0000 thehillbillies 11907@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>had a bad year here too...

Mine did for a while. My tomatos are just now starting to come in. Looks like I'll be eating "fried green tomatos" for a long time. The weather here (Michigan) hasnt' been the warmest to ripen these up. Zucchini produced quite a bit and then died out. Summer squash is just about done too. Only thing left are peppers. Not the harvest we had envisioned but we can still go to the local farmers market and pick up fresh produce. Oh well, maybe next year.

It was a good year for garden produce. I have an excess of tomatoes. I have canned several dozen jars, given them away (there are takers if you will deliver) and we have enjoyed every possible way to serve them fresh. And still I have dozens on the vine.

My brother lives there. Yes he help with dad for 5 1/2 yrs. He was a great help. Before we had a lift he would lift him to sit him in the vech. Dad was about 6'0. 200 plus pds.He made a thing that dad could stand and hold on to and we could slide it to move him to his wheelchair or from his wheelchair to his chair.He built the ramp for dad. When he was off work he would come up in the evening and help put dad to bed to give me a break. Now we live with mom and watch over her. If anything happened to me he said he'd still take care of her. Before here breathing go bad they would go fishing all the time. Thank you gigi and greta for your sweet compliments.

We only knew each other a short time before we got married. We had alot going against us. Matter of fact his friends were taking bets on how long it would last. BUT...The good Lord himself saved our marriage and as of June we been married 26 yrs. He goes the distance for anything I do. As I do him... Talk about true soulmates...What God has joined together...He also helped take care of my dad for 5 1/2 yrs... </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=685#post-11779 Sat, 05 Sep 2009 05:33:01 +0000 gigi 11779@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>lol :) </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=685#post-11778 Fri, 04 Sep 2009 23:22:49 +0000 Blossom Lane 11778@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>Mr. Right would follow craigslist closely to find just the right color grout for the 99 cent ceramic tiles his lovely and talented "E-harmony-Found"-wife-of-25- glorious-years is going to glue to her redwood table. </p> <p>Makes sense to me.

(shock, disbelief!?!-we are total opposites) eventually i agreed and would you know that on our first date he asked me to marry him!!! i laughed at him and thought what a silly guy but soon i found that he was dead serious....after a year of dating, we married and will soon celebrate our 10th anniversary!!! he's definitely my soulmate, my one true love....he's the most unconditional man i know (well, that is except when it comes to "where" i set my junk stuff!) lol </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=685#post-11697 Thu, 03 Sep 2009 15:16:34 +0000 Blossom Lane 11697@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>My husband and I were engaged after only two months of dating and married before we knew each other six months. I was twenty-two and he was twenty-four when we met.</p> <p>To a lot of people, our marriage was inadvisable. But, we were both college grads, serious-minded, and were strong Christians. In fact, we met in church. (Great place to meet Mr. Destiny, I might add.)</p> <p>My husband is my soul-mate and, after eighteen years of marriage, he still tells me I am beautiful. He is my anchor-- is tender and sensitive and is a wonderful father to our two children. We laugh at life and have the same goals and perspectives. </p> <p>Our mutual favorite movie is "Family Man", with Nicholas Cage. We love the message.</p> <p>To be totally honest, I believe the success of our marriage is not found within ourselves. (Not within ME-that's for sure ha ha) From the beginning, we made a three-way commitment. "A three-stranded cord is not easily broken." </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=685#post-11691 Thu, 03 Sep 2009 12:35:36 +0000 Lorene 11691@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>My sister and a friend both met their husbands online! Two of my friends met their husbands thru the old-fashion personals in the newspaper. No one meets in bars anymore. And what's the difference?

Don't knock it until you've tried it! My husband of 14 years recently left me for a younger, thinner model. I guess that's what happens when you turn 40. My husband had his own schedule, his own life and his own interests. Anyway, I was poking around the internet one night while my kids were at their Dad's and I went on Craigslist (gasp!). I'm checking out the deals, etc. when I decide to go over to the personal section. The only ones I ever opened were ones with pictures. I was just curious what these types looked like. After being very discouraged as to what was out there for single men, I spotted a listing that caught my eye. Don't ask me why b/c I don't know. I opened it and read it. This man was looking for ME! He described to me a tee! We exchanged pictures and several emails and a couple phone calls. Finally it was time to meet. OMG, he took my breath away. As he describes it, it was being reacquainted with an old love. This man loves to go tag saling with me. Loves to go to auctions. Writes me poetry. Rubs my feet. Tells me I'm beautiful. We can't stand to be apart and every day is full of love and affection. I guess I'm just one of the lucky ones.</p> <p> </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=685#post-11627 Wed, 02 Sep 2009 09:34:06 +0000 huggybear38 11627@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>Well ladies I am to darn old to worry about dating.. but if I were younger I surely would not go on the internet to find a date.. ugh scares the heck out of me.. and I know some of the girls here at work do that. and none have ever worked out for them either. I some of the guys, put their son's picture on the site and then when the girls show up.. ugh.. fat, old, balding man.. LOL...when here they thought they were going to meet Brad Pitt.

My mother is a pretty solitary person and lives 600 miles away. So many times I wish I could send her pictures of my kids, flowers...all the thing I tell her over the phone. I occasionally send pics (once developed) in the mail with other "goodies" she might enjoy.</p> <p>I may have a sour taste about computers as my sister internet dated and encountered one disaster after another. Men were dating her, borrowing money, etc...while dating other women at the same time!!! She had her heart broken a time or two. </p> <p>I guess it is like most things in life. Things can be a blessing or a curse...all in the way you use them...and how/if you use your own common sense! ; ) </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=685#post-11605 Tue, 01 Sep 2009 20:30:38 +0000 jillruth 11605@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>I'm wondering if I'm productive any more...since blogging...and this site...<br /> Robelyn, what a hoot that your Mom is creative too!

Computers are great. They are like encyclopedias to people with a penchant for researching the "whys" and "what ifs" of life. But they have also become enormous time-wasters. </p> <p>I know people who live "vicariously" through sports blogs or whatever it is that people spend their existence doing.</p> <p>I know the junksters on here have productive lives...I see evidence of such with every picture they submit. </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=685#post-11590 Tue, 01 Sep 2009 13:57:11 +0000 redneckChic 11590@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>My Mom is a lurker around here, so I have to watch what I say, but..........................</p> <p>nah, I'll just say it.

I am going to hold off until the last day and then do my finally bidding.. I just went past the little shop that is having the auction and the large wire baskets that have three baskets on them are awesome.. so I am going to try to reframe myself and act like I do not really care and then hit them right at the last moment. LOL sounds like a good plan.. Lev. likes the tall wire onees too and they would look awesome for her shop.. we will see what I get this time around.. so far I have the signs, and some accent pieces.. everything else I bid on I have been out bid by a small amount so I am going to play it cool.. like a Fox this time.. all the planter are so neat also.. they have several wire ones and other ones too.. This is such a neat little shop I guess things just are not going well for them or maybe someone has passed away.. just never know.. I have always wanted to stop at the shop but you know how you put things off.. well this is really a cool shop and now I am going to have to stop by and at least do a preview of all the stuff.. I will keep you informed on what is happening..

I love concrete bird baths and such too! Right now I have 4 in the yard...LOL ! Love those signs too! We always buy victorian flower pots (concrete) at sales too. DH just dumps the dirt out and we pile the pots in the truck. I even have an old (late 1800s) lawn jockey that DH bought from a man's yard for $ 15.00 one time. He is way cool and I brought him home from my antiques shop when I closed it a few years ago. He stood in the window and held the open/close sign and everyone wanted to buy him when I closed the shop. I just had to bring him home with me and he is one of my favs now. I think you should try and get that bird bath base...it is so neat! Good Luck!

I missed it..and when I went to get it.. Holly Cow.. I could not even move it an inch.. had to go back with my son on a Saturday and pick it up.. and then I got lost trying to find the place lol. he was not a happy camper.. but after we got it home and I planted flowers in it and all he was okay with it..<br /> but I do love the details on the base also.. so pretty.. the place that is closing is an Antique and gift shop.. right next to flower shop and grave yard..

They went for to much.. the 4 chairs with not seats went for $70.00, the iron chairs went for $130.00 the tables and chairs you wanted went for $26.00 , I did get the one ladder back chair which is in good condition.. and I will bring it to you .. you can use it for prop, or sell it at a higher price.. it would make a nice front porch chair with a pretty plant sitting on it.. or just with a nice pillow leaning on the back.. got it for $8.00 But heck I have not giving up.. I will keep looking for you.. they are going to have a big yard sale at our church in Sept and never know what may be there.. there is a little place in Southgate that is coming up with auction.. has a lot of the wire planters and items.. if you look on the auction site is the Southgate auction.. some will be way out of our range but some of the planters may not be.. this place is right next flower shop.. and grave yard.. LOL.. has some neat little signs.. that look interesting.. will keep you posted.. sorry it took me so long to answer.. I was working on a birdhouse.. adding stones to the exterior and going to add wood strips to the roof.. maybe a seller also... Okay so we got the ladder back chair with the rush seat.. still a good buy.. </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=375#post-11512 Sun, 30 Aug 2009 17:53:29 +0000 Leveta 11512@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>I been wondering all day myself.

They are fun to make and I have fun shopping at the GS and ES.I had one out all last year and it did fine. I live in Colo. and we had a few big snows and it did fine.<br /> Lets see more pics of the ones you ladies are making!!<br /> They could also be tables, plant stands, candy dishes the list goes on. </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=375#post-11442 Sat, 29 Aug 2009 06:12:45 +0000 huggybear38 11442@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>Blossom Lane... the single ladder back chair still going for $7.00 and I am winning the bid.. the chairs and table one is still going at $2.00 and I am winning that so far...

LOL and the iron chairs also are now at $38.00 so keeping my focus on the single chair for $7.00 and the tables and chairs for $3.00 .....Went to Hancock fabrics yesterday on my lunch hour and got some awesome deals on remments of fleece.. what a buy I got.. some as much as 80% off when all said and done.. enough on some of the remnents to make several baby hats and cost was like 32 cents..

When you click on it the page will appear and you will need to click on seller arrow on the far end and it will show all the locations that conduct internet auctions. Really a cool feature and it is amazing the prices on furniture in the midwest...wish I lived closer for that!

A POTPOURRI!! </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=375#post-11303 Thu, 27 Aug 2009 08:19:26 +0000 huggybear38 11303@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>I have not had a chance to really get into the site that much.. but do they have any sites close to Cincinnati, Ohio or Northen Kentucky that any of you know of????<br /> Huggy </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=375#post-11288 Thu, 27 Aug 2009 06:47:40 +0000 magark 11288@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>I found that site last year but have yet to make a purchase due to the shipping cost. There is one store about 1 1/2 hours from me that I go by on occasion when I am in that area and another one 35 minutes from me in the other direction. They sell their furniture dirt cheap and you could easily refurbish it with a nice coat of paint!

I have gotten many pieces of art work, brand new shoes never worn.. food processor that was never used.. and have now start making my own pizza dough and pizza sauce..and yea my own pizza.. I have gotten tools, computers, cameras, yarn, rings, drapes, sewing machines, so it is fun and I must say I have gotten some really good deals.. I just have to watch what I bid on..

This is an on line auction in my area and you bid online and they stop the bidding a certain day at a certain time.. so you almost have to be on line to watch the bidding as things can change in a second.. I am keeping my eyes on those 4 chairs.. and the other one too with the tables and chairs.. ...not sure if I can say the website on this site..<br /> The web site is called <a href="http://www.EBTH.org" rel="nofollow">www.EBTH.org</a> it is out of Cincinnati, Ohio.. some of the items that they auction off they will ship others they will not.. if you want to bid you have to register, it is free to register.. and you have to pick up on a certain day at usully between 2:00pm and 7:oopm to see what is being auctioned off click on online sales and it will show you several different auctions that are going on.. any questions feel free to ask me<br /> Huggy </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=684#post-11265 Wed, 26 Aug 2009 14:11:59 +0000 Leveta 11265@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>I had a piece come apart the other as I was showing a stick totem to a friend. That's the first time. I'm hopeing that was the one that I pulled a bit as it was drying. I did reseal it and it seemed fine. And I know I put enough on. I do check them after they dry for 24 hrs.

The plates came from the thrift store for 25 cents along with the candlesticks. Folks in my area just "don't get it" so I may take some of the painted china pieces and put on Etsy. I have been watching her blog for quite a few months and just love it...very talented lady. Actually I get inspiration from lots of the blogs. I plan on cranking up my garage sale again this fall on my blog (which I have neglected for a while now) and selling items that can be refurbished into projects. I have lots of that sort of stuff piling up and my flower beds are full now so it needs to go to new homes. I have always enjoyed making things for the flower beds from found objects but don't like it over done either. If you make any of the plate stands check out a later post we did on adhesives...I use one called Quick Grip that is just great and holds up in the weather too.

Hers are done with a tea cup turned upside down with a plate on top. She also has a clear glass cover (which I would like to find). She seems to sell each one she posts.

Grouted the center seams and I think it turned out great. I also painted the base black so it would look nicer.

DH and I no longer have formal parties and there is no use in keeping all that stuff. I had a huge collection of American Fostoria and have finally gotten rid of lots of it too. I loved it years ago and used it then but now entertaining has moved to the patio and fish fries, hamburgers, steaks, etc with the neighbors! Lots of fun too and very informal.

Actually, I love all of them. You express your thoughts so beautifully! </p> <p>You are so right about Junkers being nesters. My home is a haven for my family. And, like you, I love being "home". </p> <p>Greta </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=668#post-11157 Tue, 25 Aug 2009 05:47:11 +0000 chiccottagejunk 11157@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>Kari - I DID notice that your sign features some of the loves you have talked about, your goats and kitties. I didn't realize you had chickens too. How fun and blessed to live on a farm!</p> <p>Sue </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=668#post-11155 Tue, 25 Aug 2009 05:35:21 +0000 Meadowview Farm 11155@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>I am heading off for my week at my office (300 mile commute -- lots of time to think)...anyway, I think that how we got to this wonderful topic of parenthood has in part to do with "home" --- as junkers, we are likely all nesters too. We feather our nest, just like the birds in my yard that find a piece of cottonwood or tinsel to add --- all to make this place for ourself and our family special. It is what differentiates a sterile house from a comfortable home. We work from our heart as much as our head. </p> <p>My sign -- at the very tippy top of this topic holds pictures of my beloveds -- my animals. I teased my son, Ian, that he would come home to find his face on a sign at the road's edge --- he just laughed.</p> <p>Home --- I relish the thought of my homecoming on Thursday night when I come back from Madison....this place filled with memories and love.<br /> Kari </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=668#post-11152 Mon, 24 Aug 2009 22:24:32 +0000 Blossom Lane 11152@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>In my earlier post I wrote that I did not cry on the first day we took our son to kindergarten. Understatement. (I cried all summer before he went...ha ha!) What I meant was that I did not cry when I left him...I cried when he came back to me. The same happened to me this afternoon.</p> <p>I actually had my daughter (she is four years younger) to stave the dread of sending my son to school. Plus, I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY wanted a little girl! And I got her! When she went to kindergarten.... I went with her. I taught for six years at my children's school. I am teaching again this year: piano, hand chimes, choir, and drama.</p> <p>I may be the "Poster Mom" advertisement for the Velcro mother. ; )</p> <p>I have scuds of books on motherhood. I love this excerpt from one of my fav's:</p> <p> "Woman's charms are certainly many and powerful. The expanding<br /> rose , just bursting into beauty, has an irresistible<br /> bewitchingness. The blooming bride, lead triumphantly to the<br /> marital alter, awakens admiration and interest, and the blush<br /> of her cheeks fills with delight. But the charm of maternity<br /> is more sublime than these. Heaven has imprinted in a mother's<br /> face something beyond this world, something which claims kindred<br /> with the skies--the angelic smile, the tender look, the waking,<br /> watchful eye, which keep its fond vigil over each child as long<br /> as she has breath."</p> <p>I have been and done many things, but I view no success in life under the same scrutiny as what kind of mother I have been/currently am to my children. That is tantamount to me. </p> <p>It sounds like you ladies view motherhood the same way. Your children are blessed. </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=668#post-11151 Mon, 24 Aug 2009 21:14:30 +0000 Maggie 11151@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>My baby is 50 yrs old &#38; he &#38; his wife came last night to check on me because he couldn't get me on the phone (my phone was out of order). Now that made my day! There have been so many times that I have wished I could have my children all back home with me! Now I have noone with me. </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=668#post-11146 Mon, 24 Aug 2009 19:04:45 +0000 Leveta 11146@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>My baby is 25, and I wish many a time I could shink her back to being small again. There are things I'd do different. But now I look over and see this sweet little guy asleep in my bed and my heart just gushes...And I wouldn't change a thing...If that makes sence... </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=668#post-11145 Mon, 24 Aug 2009 18:49:59 +0000 chiccottagejunk 11145@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>Greta and Kari - I'm almost in tears here myself after reading your emotional words. My baby is 24 and my oldest is 28, so it's been a while for me since they started kindergarten or freshman or senior year. I think I can still feel my heart hurting as they waved good-bye as I watched the bus taking my son to the first day of their memory filled school days. I don't recall shedding tears during high school; although I felt the need more to protect them in high school for some reason. I guess it was because they would soon be turned out into the cold, cruel world that we live in. There would be no more protection once they took that diploma in hand...BUT, they made it through HS and have turned out to be wonderful caring sons that I am very proud of.</p> <p>How did we get so off topic? Smile. Sometimes life gets off topic.</p> <p>Sue </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=668#post-11141 Mon, 24 Aug 2009 16:21:15 +0000 Meadowview Farm 11141@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>When we are given the gift of parenthood, we do understand that it will be different...we have counted those nine months until birth, or months/years until adoption...and know it will change. But did anyone ever really really describe how our heart would be opened so wide that it could literally ache as you so eloquently described? </p> <p>Firsts and lasts - over and over again. This circle that unites, sometimes divides - always conquers. Our heart learns to hold so much, and if we allow ourselves a moment to truly take it in -- it goes to the very core of our soul. </p> <p>Many times I have willed myself to remember every moment, every detail...not with a photo or with a video....but with all my heart....remember this moment, remember this moment, remember this moment...<br /> Kari </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=668#post-11138 Mon, 24 Aug 2009 14:28:11 +0000 Blossom Lane 11138@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>Kari and Robeyln,</p> <p>Today is my son's first day as a high school senior. It bore a strong resemblance in my heart to his first day of kindergarten. </p> <p>Like kindergarten, I did not cry when he went. On the drive home today he fell asleep and I kept glancing at him and was asking myself where in the world time had gone. </p> <p>And just like that first day, some twelve years ago, I watched him as he sat beside me in the car. My heart literally ached over the passage of time, and the tears came... </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=668#post-11134 Mon, 24 Aug 2009 13:39:42 +0000 Meadowview Farm 11134@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>That is so funny about what you could hide in the enamelware pitchers...I used to have a shelf with McCoy pots on it. Every now &#38; again I would find them upside down -- found out later that my son discovered that I kept coins in them...he would flip over the unfilled pots.<br /> By the way -- do enjoy every moment of your Brady Bunch kitchens and kiddos -- I am now an empty nester -- my nest stays "fluffed" more often than not now, but I would take the fingerprints any day!</p> <p>Kari </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=668#post-11110 Mon, 24 Aug 2009 10:38:36 +0000 redneckChic 11110@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>Ah - thank you Sue!

I saw those garden hose wreaths a couple of years ago and totally forgot about them. Now I can add a "fake" window to the shed with an old window frame with maybe add a mirror or not - along with the hose wreath AND I will have to look for shutters! Awesome ideas - thank you!

The summer this year has been rainy and cool - perfect for my flowers. This has been one of my best gardening years. The picture is actually the side of the garage. There was a window there so I put lace on the inside, added the window box. Shutters were cut down to fit from a pair I found roadside. The wreath is made from an old garden hose. </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=651#post-10667 Tue, 18 Aug 2009 08:50:53 +0000 Blossom Lane 10667@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>Christine,</p> <p>Not only are your mirrors a great addition...your flowers are beautiful.<br /> You must have the touch!

It's a very large mirror. And my cat started growling at himself in the reflection. He was kind of far away. He just kept staring at himself, so I picked him up and put him right up to the mirror and(it was so funny) he jumped and hissed and backed away. He really thought he was seeing another cat. </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=651#post-10638 Mon, 17 Aug 2009 15:59:34 +0000 huggybear 10638@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>yahoo !!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am a go getter and I will one day post pics here.. in the mean time.. I love reading all your stories.. it is just awesome how flowers can make someone so happy.. the ones I planted for the older neighbor and his mother are doing so well, I am so happy .. she is in poor health and he has to take her to doctor and etc. so everytime she walks out of the house and down her steps, which is very hard for her.. she can see all the pretty flowers .. and she just smiles.. .. makes my heart feel so good.. it is nice to have nice neighbors.. but then I do have some crabby ones.. but nothing you can do for them to make them happy so I just smile and go on about my business of making other happy.. and it is nice to see a son taking care of his elderly mother.. he is so good to her.. so if a few flowers brings her happiness I am so glad I took the time to do the flower area for her. </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=651#post-10616 Mon, 17 Aug 2009 08:55:37 +0000 huggybear 10616@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>I really love the idea..

It was a beautiful sight, pre assembled, big front door...It was MINE!<br /> I have two large indoor dogs, and they will stay in the yard when let out, but usually just scratch to get back in to reform the pillows for laying down. So I have been thinking that an outdoor kennel would be nice for an occasionally day gone...dogs out there in case we run late. I was running on time with the luxury of time to stop and inform on the price. Thats where cells phones are price less! I call my husband and tell him of the location and ask him to go check it out, and that if it is under 200.00 BUY IT!<br /> So he later calls to say it is 100.00 and we can go get it later that eve. Which we do. It is resting on a flat bed trailer awaiting to be put in place. So another neighbor stops by, says he see we have this kennel, do we want to buy another for 100.00?<br /> I was gone at the time, so my husband says no. I get home today, there is a message, another neighbor wants Mike to stop by and look at his tractor...and Hey, I was wondering about that dog kennel?</p> <p>So my plan, buy the other neighbors for 100.00 and if it bigger keep it and sell this one to the other guy for 125.00!<br /> Hey..ya gotta be thinking. Cha Ching.<br /> My husband does not see my mode of thinking on this one...he figures we will just end up with two kennels. He said, I will simple tell neighbor B of Neighbor A's kennel, and he can go buy it from him......Darn, thats no fun at all. And I loos 25.00! </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=623#post-10283 Wed, 12 Aug 2009 20:39:45 +0000 Blossom Lane 10283@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>I think the picket fence behind the chair gives it the right touch. </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=623#post-10281 Wed, 12 Aug 2009 20:36:40 +0000 lovetogarden46 10281@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>That is very pretty.

There's one in every city in the US. Go to the "for sale" section, and buy, sell or trade or get things for free. It's all local so no shipping. and it's completely free. You can advertise your yard sales for free too. I've sold alot of my kids toys on there. And, usually in the spring someone is giving away free perrenials, all you have to do is dig them up. Honestly, go to craigslist.org and type in your city. It's one of my favorite places. </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=632#post-10239 Wed, 12 Aug 2009 10:07:48 +0000 thehillbillies 10239@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>most people know they can get a pretty penny for them.

Mom, you did so good.. those flowers are just awesome.. and now for a young man to say such a thing is sure worth all the hard work planting them etc. he is so proud of those flowers.. Funny how one thing can change how a person feels about something..

Weird how we did it, but first we hinged the one we used for the door to the window on the left. Then we ripped 2x4's into 2x2's and cut two long ones to go vertical to hold the back window to the window on the left. Then we used the other vertical one and attached it to the back window and the window on the right. Then we made a frame for the bottom and attached all of the windows (except for the one we used as the door) to the bottom frame. We repeated the bottom frame at the top as best as we could. We cut some plywood for shelves (the top one is resting on the wood divider on the back and side windows. We also added two handles to the left and right side to lift the heavy little sucker. The roof windows have a 2x2 at the peak and we attached the windows to that. Then by using shelf brackets at the front and back between the two windows, that really firmed and squared the roof up. The roof rests on the center upright along with resting on a 2x4 on each side (left &#38; right). I hope that's not too confusing....email me if you'd like more info. <a href="mailto:sesrandall@yahoo.com.">sesrandall@yahoo.com.</a></p> <p>Thanks gals for ALL of your praises! This was fun and I'm really please with the way it turned out. The actual designing and building of the greenhouse only took about 4-5 hours and we thought that was pretty good for not really knowing what we were going to do.</p> <p>Robelyn - Michigan is quite a drive for you! But come and get it if you dare. LOL.</p> <p>Sandy - By the way, we are going to keep this one, but I have enough windows to do about 3-4 more I think.</p> <p>Sue </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=611#post-9762 Thu, 06 Aug 2009 16:47:48 +0000 gigi 9762@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>see....i can't do it either!

My first window greenhouse is complete. Well, actually, it was done last week, but I needed to plant some flowers in the new little beds next to the greenhouse, then go rock picking in some local fields, then get annuals for display on the inside of the the greenhouse, then look for some small vinyl picket fence to go behind the little flower beds...I'm a perfectionist and I didn't want to post pics until I had it RIGHT!! Still not complete - can't find the right height of pickets so the rocks will have to do for now.</p> <p>It is tall and square like a phone booth so went I went flea-ing a couple of weeks ago, I found an old phone that looks like it went to a phonebooth. It is actually a working home phone with coin slots and it holds the coins in a bank. Too cool!</p> <p>Oh, yea - I have a chimes hanging inside from the ceiling and I used iron shelf brackets at the peak in front and back.</p> <p>Tada!</p> <p>Sue</p> <p> </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=606#post-9713 Thu, 06 Aug 2009 09:23:46 +0000 SuzyQ 9713@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>Thanks for the information - lovetogarden46.

That so cool, but I bet they needed a fork lift to hang it, that looks heavy unless they got a step ladder and planted it after it was hung. Oh I can see me trying to do that LOL Potting soil, broken pots, swinging rebar and an up ended step ladder and me.

I made a couple last yr. I got it sounds like the same thing that maggie was talking about. Except I put my loop a the top and bent the bottom into another loop to keep them on. I used smaller pots on mine. It took 4. If I can find it i'll take a pic. I painted mine also and added a tassel on the bottom for decoration... </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=583#post-9165 Wed, 29 Jul 2009 06:39:50 +0000 thehillbillies 9165@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>I found this somewhere on a website and saved it... looks like they just bent rebar at the top and bottom</p> <p> </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=583#post-9164 Wed, 29 Jul 2009 06:35:53 +0000 Maggie 9164@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>I forgot to add....Welcome to the forum! </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=583#post-9163 Wed, 29 Jul 2009 06:34:21 +0000 Maggie 9163@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>You can buy those flower stakes with a loop on one end. That loop goes on the bottom. After you add all your pots make a hanging hook on the end. HTH....I'm not good at explaining things.

I will try to get my sister to come out next year for the sale &#38; I'm sure I could get a friend or two (I know very few people in our area). </p> <p>My mail list for the craft shows will have a column for email - I agree about keeping the costs down. And signage - of course - I didn't think about the obvious - of course!</p> <p>Yes, please email your flyer if you don't mind - <a href="mailto:sesrandall@yahoo.com.">sesrandall@yahoo.com.</a></p> <p>Where abouts are you going to Michigan?!</p> <p>Sue </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=537#post-8213 Sun, 19 Jul 2009 19:58:23 +0000 morninglori 8213@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>Sue, now is the time to plan it out and especially set your date to give people heads up. We did our show Friday 11:00-6:00 and Sat. 9:30 to 4:30 with Friday being the best day. </p> <p>We had so much to set up and bring out since it rained the nite before, so we needed everyone's help. I couldn't imagine doing it alone, as it was, I could barely find time to run in the house for a bottle of water! Our help were all friends and every year we have more volunteers, plus they can cherry pick!</p> <p>I think you should have some of your shabby chic stuff there too. Good to have a variety but we heard "Can this go outside?" all day. We did have several furniture pieces and sold some of them, but next year we will focus more on outside stuff.<br /> We live in Rochester and our show is near a shopping plaza so we also had great signs made for the main road. Next year we will also run something in our local gardening magazine and Craig's list is also a good idea. Your best customers will be the people who already know you and who have bought from you already so talk it up!! Also, try to get emails from people, keeps the postage cost down.</p> <p>I can email you our last flyer so you can see what we did. I'm going on vaca(actually to Michigan)Wednesday for 10 days so my computer usage will be limited...</p> <p>Sandy </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=537#post-8205 Sun, 19 Jul 2009 19:02:10 +0000 Leveta 8205@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>I can see the headlines now "Junkers break out all over us"...Wouldn't that be something... </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=537#post-8204 Sun, 19 Jul 2009 18:59:45 +0000 chiccottagejunk 8204@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>Sandy - thank you - you've already answered some of my questions. </p> <p>Display - I was already picturing hanging things from trees and fences, staging items as I would put them in my own yard - so I was glad to see that you already did that successfully. Did you only have garden items or did you sell other items that you've repurposed? I do lots of Shabby Chic that sells well at the shop I consign in so I thought I'd put that type of stuff out too. Can I get your take on that?</p> <p>Pricing - I was also going to ask about pricing - what your low and high prices were and you touched on that, thank you.</p> <p>Community - Can I ask what type of community you are in? Are you urban, rural, subdivision? Is it a community "with money" or average jack and jills? </p> <p>Advertisement - I like the idea of your mailing list and already planned to do that at the shows that I'm in this fall/winter. I also plan to have my sale date already determined for next year so that I can have fliers to pass out at all of the shows this fall. I also have many of my items in an upscale antique/craft shop in a quaint antique village near me. I'll be able to get her mail list and send fliers to all of her shoppers as well. Other than your mailing list/fliers - what type of advertising did you do? I would list on our local Craigslist and run an ad in the small local papers. Do you list in the larger newspapers or find that a waste because it doesn't hit the right market?</p> <p>Sale Day(s) - Did you sell for one/two/three days? Which day(s) seem to be your best sale day?</p> <p>Workers - I see that you had 10 working - I'm thinking of going at it alone or possibly with one other gal who does folk painting but she does mostly holiday decor and does some spring/summer painting on enamelware, shovels, birdhouses, etc. Would you recommend trying it alone the first year or do you think that would be disastrous?</p> <p>Thank you Sandy for your help. I'm glad you don't think that I'm starting the planning too soon for next year!</p> <p>Sue </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=537#post-8202 Sun, 19 Jul 2009 18:52:33 +0000 Leveta 8202@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>Oh can't wait to see!!! </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=537#post-8189 Sun, 19 Jul 2009 17:26:57 +0000 morninglori 8189@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>Thanks for the comments...Sue, it sounds like you are planning the same type of show and feel free to ask any questions as to what worked for us. Your garden sounds beautiful and the perfect setting for this type of show. Rosie, great that have a few other people to tap other talents.<br /> We talked about going in a show but decided our stuff would "show" better in the venue it was intended and the main reason....no competition!!! We started a list of people we wanted to send a mailer to as soon as we started planning(1 year ahead) and added to it whenever someone expressed interest. we found almost everyone bought something...we had things from $15.00 to $150.00.<br /> My friend is more of a painter..I'm more of the craftsman,building the trellises, and birdhouses. Also, I cast concrete mushrooms and mosaic them along with casting leaves for birdbaths. We overlap on alot too but fortunately get along well and have not had one problem.<br /> We use the whole garden! Hanging stuff in the trees and on the fence and every possible area to display things. It looked like a setting for "Alice in Wonderland" LOL<br /> I do have photos and will get them on this darn computer so I can post some for you....</p> <p>Sandy </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=537#post-8161 Sun, 19 Jul 2009 14:10:12 +0000 RosieO 8161@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>WOW, Sandy!<br /> Now this is something I could do! My SIL and I. And perhaps a couple of gardener/crafter friends.<br /> I like colored glass, my SIL paints, one friend does wonderful rustic wreaths, etc. This would be real easy to expand on.<br /> Did you integrate the salable items throughout the garden, or just in one area?<br /> I love this!<br /> Thanks so much -- Rosie </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=456#post-8160 Sun, 19 Jul 2009 14:03:07 +0000 Leveta 8160@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>My luck someone would buy one and it will either fry the flowers aroune it or burn up there wooden porch... </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=537#post-8157 Sun, 19 Jul 2009 12:28:10 +0000 chiccottagejunk 8157@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>Wow, Sandy, thank you so much for your tips and information. Your garden show/sale sounds more like a garden party! It really sounds like you and your friends put a lot of time and effort into it and it just sounds pretty unique.</p> <p>I do like that you are referring to it as a Garden Show &#38; Sale. I've almost finished my yard work (new flower gardens, transplanting, etc. - we now have 11 or 12 flower beds) for the summer and I'm really proud of what we've accomplished in a yard that once was mostly sand and a few blades of grass here and there. We don't have family or friends near us, so no entertaining for us. But now I know how to combine our pretty gardens/yard and my desire to stage my first home show with the items I am working on or have completed. I don't think that I'd be ready this year as I've already over-committed myself with my junk at three shops and 5 arts and craft shows between Sep-Nov. I will start planning my own Garden Show &#38; Sale for next year. Any more tips &#38; tricks and photos you'd like to share would certainly be appreciated. My email address is listed on my profile if you don't mind sharing more info.</p> <p>Thanks so much!<br /> Sue </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=537#post-8155 Sun, 19 Jul 2009 12:10:15 +0000 magark 8155@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>I too love OOAK items and often buy when I see them. Garden shows are a favorite of mine as I did take the Master Gardeners course here but have since let my membership lapse. Just didn't seem to have time to keep up the required hours for community service and continued education. I tend to get involved it way too many projects and really have learned the past year to politely decline offers! I wish I lived closer to attend your garden show....it sounds so much fun! Post some pics if you have any available. Thanks for sharing the information with us.

I too love the quick grip and glad it is working for you. Not sure about painting glass but I don't see why it wouldn't work with glass paint. Anyone else know the answer?

We buy all year and reinvent,build, paint,mosaic and add our "touch" to anything we can find that is "garden-themed." We have it in my friend's garden and have a guest book so with that, sending out flyers and word of mouth we are quite overwhelmed! We are very organized and have everything tagged with a price along with some whimiscal info about the piece. This year we had 2 people at the money table and 8 people in the yard because people now know to come right when we open at 11:00 Friday.<br /> We sell everything from trellises, birdhouses,birdbaths,tables, planted chairs and more and cannot belive how much we do!! Its alot of work but well worth it for the amount of fun we have buying and creating stuff. We have tried just turning over some stuff but found that was not why people came, so the next year we would add something to it, and up the price $10.00 and out the door it would go!<br /> This year we were concerned about the economy but found people appreciate the one-of-a-kind things that are unique,recycled,and creative and will spend the money.<br /> So anyway thats my story and for anyone in upstate NY we are already planning next year!!!</p> <p>Sandy </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=520#post-7918 Thu, 16 Jul 2009 13:01:59 +0000 dhmjr 7918@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>I'm always on the lookout for those.

I guess you could say I am a pumpkin grower, too. Each year I place my rotted pumpkins in shallow soil. They seem to reseed quite easily. I feel proud because it is the only "produce" I have ever raised! Tried tomatoes once...they died. I like that you have a stand that you sell your produce and nuts from. </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=520#post-7853 Wed, 15 Jul 2009 16:40:46 +0000 thehillbillies 7853@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>Diane- how cute!

Always had to check before going in for snakes. And I was 9 before we had a toilet inside our house! There was running water but nothing flushed. Yes I'm from West Virginia. That's one of the things from the "good ole days" I don't really miss. When my sister bought a second house that ended up being our shop she took the old out house to HER house and put it in her garden.

I have seen so many forlorn and abandoned buildings that I wanted to haul to my property for use. The best I could do was to gather lumber scraps from building sites in our area (with permission) for a special project for my daughter.</p> <p>My father-in-law and I collected enough lumber to build an 8'x 8' playhouse on the cheap. Most of the lumber DID have to buy, came from a building supply wholesale outlet. My daughter and I had a great time decorating her cottage with created and second hand finds...right down to her exterior shutters, window boxes, china and silver service!

Hmmm -- maybe it needed a new home. So, he called about until he found the Otter Creek/Thompson Valley Cemetary Board of Directors (yes this exits) -- who took up "the adoption" at their next Board Meeting. It took six people to load it into a trailer and three of us to drop it at the new site on the edge of our apple orchard.</p> <p>So...here's is the "before" picture. We will begin work on it this next weekend -- we had waited as a robin also adopted the apple fork we had set inside as the perfect place to raise two families this summer. Now they are off - so we can begin our work. We are planning on a tin roof and a dusty yellow paint once the outside is repaired. It will hold our apple picking supplies.</p> <p>By the way...it was a two seater (chuckle chuckle) and still has the rusty toilet paper holder attached.</p> <p>Kari </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=476#post-7410 Fri, 10 Jul 2009 19:19:51 +0000 csudderth 7410@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>Take it, take it, take it.

This Spring I filled it with potting soil and planted it with lettuce seeds. I can move it around the yard, so if it is an especially rainy day/night, I move it under a tree. It has filled up with the most awesome lettuce! I clip off want I need for dinner and it keeps growing. The seeds can be started earlier than most other vegies/flowers as they are designed for early gardening. I live in west central WI and I starte mine in early May. I think I covered the wheelbarrow once when it got especially cold one night. It does get heavy, so make sure you do repair the wheel if you think you will need to move it around the yard. Just the thought of not wasting any lettuce I buy at the farmers market is worth it, and it looks quite pretty. </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=500#post-7369 Thu, 09 Jul 2009 19:07:53 +0000 magark 7369@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>Confession....I found a bag I had bought in there earlier this spring for a project that never got done!

Yes I got the funnel at the dollar store,the pot from a plant I bought,the stones from my yard and the bark from some cedar posts my brother cut and had to peel. The construction adhesive was left over from one of DH's projects so all this cost was my time.</p> <p>I've also used this same technique on 4&quot; PVC pipe to make a bird house but I used an old galvanized funnel and painted it with copper spray paint and sponged a green patina on it.</p> <p> </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=500#post-7213 Wed, 08 Jul 2009 15:21:49 +0000 magark 7213@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>Very cute and the sign makes it!

A Toad house (or toad abode as DD calls it)</p> <p>Find yourself a shady spot in the garden and plunk it down.</p> <p>I added a little sign as well.</p> <p> </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=500#post-7206 Wed, 08 Jul 2009 12:34:07 +0000 paintwife 7206@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>The next step is to take the funnel off the pot. Set the pot (still inverted) on an old board or something you don't care about messing up.</p> <p>Put a small ring of the construction adhesive about an inch wide around the "window" you can do this by using a popsicle stick or other utensil of your choice. About an 1/8" thick.The adhesive should be thick enough that it covers about 1/3 of the stones thickness. Outline the window with a row or two of small (proportionate)stones. Next do the same around your doorway.Though the construction adhesive takes a while to cure completely it gets less sticky to the touch rather quickly when exposed to air so the stones set pretty fast.<br /> After you've outlined your window and doorway start covering the rest of the pot with the same method,starting with a ring of stones around the bottom and work your way up. The bottom row supporting the next.Keep adding the stones turning the pot as you go. If you have to stop before your finished it's O.K. just make sure you put stones in all the areas you've spread the glue and you can come back to it later.Keep going until you get to about an inch from the top (which is actually the bottom of the pot)and leave that bare.<br /> </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=500#post-7205 Wed, 08 Jul 2009 12:04:03 +0000 chiccottagejunk 7205@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>Oh, I'm loving where this is going... </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=500#post-7204 Wed, 08 Jul 2009 11:57:59 +0000 paintwife 7204@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>I put the funnel on top of the inverted pot for this step.</p> <p>Next up your going to cut or tear strips of bark and glue these to the funnel (again with the E6000 or something similar)It helps to use small clamps or rubberbands to keep things in place.</p> <p>I then cut a small branch (about 5&quot;)and glued that on the side before continuing with the bark.

I got a phone call and couldn't finish the post right then. Anyhoo.....</p> <p>Cut the rim off the pot, then cut a half cirle opening (doorway)<br /> Just to the top left of your doorway draw a small circle abut an inch in diam. (I used chalk) take two small pieces of copper wire and glue these bisecting the circle. I used a dab of E6000 here.This will be your window.</p> <p>Cut the spout off your funnel and glue a small chunk of your dead branch in the opening you just created.</p> <p> </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=500#post-7201 Wed, 08 Jul 2009 10:19:21 +0000 magark 7201@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>Tease...LOL !

Sometimes less is more. I think they look very elegant. but if you think they're too plain maybe a handful of those flat glass marbles on the saucers would give you what you're looking for, You did a fine job, pat yourself on the back.</p> <p>Linda </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=456#post-7059 Mon, 06 Jul 2009 04:48:44 +0000 Maggie 7059@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>Leveta, you did a good job on them!

Cowplace I made teacup feeders last yr for my shop. Some that hung and some on a pole that I painted copper. I had I think 8.00 or 6.00 0n the hanging and 10.00 on the pole. Only sold one and gave one to my DH's aunt for making my wreaths and things to do with flowers. This yr I'm going to advertise more. I also sell pumpkins,gourds and indian corn and fall decorations...I'm glad to have you with us... </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=456#post-7048 Sun, 05 Jul 2009 17:42:57 +0000 cowpalace 7048@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>Leveta, those totems are fabulous! I think the candles would be 'dressy' enough without adding anything else. </p> <p>I live in Central Texas and it has been 100 or more for the last week. And not a drop of rain! It rains around us, just not ON us. lol</p> <p>I have a couple of teacup birdfeeders in my booth and not a one has sold. Prices range from $15 to $18, depending on how much I had to pay for the cups and saucers. I've seen them in Salado for $25, so I thought my price was on target. Maybe I need to rethink that and lower the price! Mine are rather labor intensive...I drill holes in the cup and saucer, use a threaded rod to run through them, nuts and washers to attach, then finish them off with some silicone to make the cups hold water. </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=456#post-7047 Sun, 05 Jul 2009 17:36:13 +0000 dianeinthevalley 7047@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>Leveta, I love the clear glass with the teacups.

Thanks for the heads up and for preventing a big oops!</p> <p>By the way I was at the local farm market today and saw a gal with glass totems. She was asking $60.00 a piece. That's all she had in her space and I didn't think they were as nice as some of the ones you gals have posted here.

It is in a green and yellow tube and little goes a long way. I have followed the directions on the tube and so far everything is holding up just fine in all this HEAT down here...bring on some rains! We have been 21 days without any decent rains and everything is getting nice and brown! Of course we are watering and the city is loving our bill !

And Thanks for your help... </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=456#post-6908 Fri, 03 Jul 2009 12:03:01 +0000 magark 6908@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>It doesn't take much to get it to grip. I just run a small bead around the area I want to glue and pull it apart a couple of times and let it cure overnight. More or less follow the directions on the tube and so far it has held for me. Once it starts setting up do not pull it apart or anything like that....leave it alone and it should cure just fine for you. When it is hot and humid (like down here) I apply the glue inside and let it cure in the house. It doesn't smell like most glues either. Even DH is now hooked on using the stuff for his catfishing noodles and it holds super good in the water. Good luck! Let me know if I can help further.

DH did that once before finally getting a new tire at the hardware store. I have a vintage rusty 2 wheel garden cart that has totally lost the tire and has a rim now. To me it is charming but to DH it is a piece of junk! Right wording but in the wrong tense for him...LOL ! If I take part in the huge junk flea mkt sale in Oct. in Texarkana it may show up over there in my booth for sale. I will try to drag it out and take a pic of it...we found it at a garage sale for a couple of dollars a few years ago.

You could do something like that and the wheel won't matter.

They make the greatest planters too when they get that rusty patina and some tiny holes in the bottom. I plant mine every spring with annuals and then with marigolds in early fall. I also found a very vintage whirly gig at an auction in a box of junk a few years back and he is plopped right among the flowers. Just love it all !

You can always pass it on if you decide you don't want it.

The owner says the wheel may never hold air again. I don't know if this is going to hinder me using it as a planter or not. Those of you who have done this already, what do you think? can you replace those tires easily? If not, are there any creative ways I can still use the wheelbarrow as a planter without the wheel? HELP!!! I have to let her know if I want it very soon... </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=375#post-6621 Mon, 29 Jun 2009 11:34:02 +0000 redneckChic 6621@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>That chair is the cutest!!!!!!! </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=375#post-6619 Mon, 29 Jun 2009 10:32:04 +0000 thehillbillies 6619@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>I love to change them into planters!

There are a few of us going to try some small shows in the near future if for nothing else but to stir up more customers. Wish the heat would move on...I think that would help too!

Yesterday was just a fluke in the clouds with the rains and temps cooling off so quickly. I did hit 2 thrift stores today but headed home at 2:00...way too hot for me! I am going to donate some of my stale stuff in my booth to our upcoming garage sale at church the first weekend in Aug. I get to help set things up and y'all wouldn't believe all the cool stuff the little old ladies donate to it. I haven't even thought about back to school items yet but school starts back early Aug. here but with the economy right now they will just buy basic stuff to get by with. Really stinks doesn't it?

The booth is now downsized and I am hoping lots more items will move on too! I found lots of pretty floral teacups today in an antique mall in our town and most were less than a $ 1.00 so that will help with profit IF they will sell. People in our area are slow to "get it" on vintage finds and decorating which makes it frustrating for us sellers. Guess it goes with the territory! They wouldn't touch anything rusty on a bet....might get their pretty manicured hands a little dirty!

Those are very reasonable prices so they should be snapped up quickly. Great gift item! I see you have some old dishes. You might try planting 2 or three floral dishes in the background of a window box with several petunias. I had some large sea shells -fan shaped-also and planted them in a window box and they are cute. </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=456#post-6456 Wed, 24 Jun 2009 14:05:24 +0000 magark 6456@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>This is the Seattle space needle DH designed for me with a free standing garden totem. He is beginning to like this junk now!

You did a great job. Sounds like everyone is having a good time creating! Me too! I just finished a "vase on a stick" for my neice. Just waiting for her to come get it. Flea marketing this weekend--sure will be scouring for new items. I'll post pics when done.

It is actually sturdy and is 4 rows deep which holds the dowel sticks just fine. I had previously used the entire shelving to hold handmade candles in vintage glassware. It was a thrift store find for $ 2.00 last fall ! I priced the garden totems $ 10 with a dowel stick and the birdfeeders $ 6.00 with the dowel stick. Let's hope they will sell !

Storm passed through and the temps dropped to 79 later. Reminded me of fall ! LOL ! Good luck with your upcoming flea market and let me know how it goes.

My booth sales are really pitiful...I am only making rent and not paying for the items sold. DH is more impressed with Etsy right now since the fees are low and I can make profit on the sales. There are a few of us in town that plan on trying a few craft/flea mkt shows to test that market. Who knows! It is so hot down this way that I don't even want to attend a sale right now....heat index is reaching 105 plus this week.

Got a nice cute pair of child's ice skates for "first hand up gets them for $1.00"... but I must say, I too, was one of the lookers, not buyers... </p> <p>Not looking forward to our flea market coming up... </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=463#post-6436 Wed, 24 Jun 2009 08:33:09 +0000 magark 6436@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>I can relate with the terrible economy right now. I probably would have done the very same thing and quit around $ 10.00. Even though it seems such a cute project when completed, folks around here are getting very tight with their money. The only place overflowing with customers spending right now are the thrift stores! I have been finding bargains galore in there lately. Those license plates would have averaged around 50 cents each but if you had to buy lumber it will run the cost up.

I'm cheap- only bid them to about $5.00... went for $14.00... (still cheap)... could have made a lot of these cuties!!! </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=456#post-6433 Wed, 24 Jun 2009 07:29:05 +0000 magark 6433@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>I put the 2 garden totems posted earlier in the booth yesterday. DH put together a cube shelf to display them in and it works just fine. I will take pics of it today when I run out and put the 2 cup bird feeders in there. In the meantime, DH designed a free standing garden totem and when finished it will resemble the Seattle space needle (his wording). I am so glad he enjoys helping me create stuff. We should have it finished by this evening so it can dry overnight and I can put it in the booth tomorrow. Gee LuAnn you sure know how to "hook" folks on projects but a BIG thank you for showing the totems to us.
