Vintage Window Flower Display

Two Friends. Two Cities has a fabulous idea for old windows or a frame. Dry your flowers and arrange nicely inside. It makes a gorgeous wall display!


Vintage Suitcase Table

I'm loving what Shabby, Chic and Charming did with a vintage suitcase. She used it as a table top after she painted it a pretty white. What a charming little sidetable! I love the vintage phone on top too!


Vintage Scale Clock!

I love what Dream Book Design did with this old vintage scale. She turned it into a clock! What an original idea! What else can you make into a clock?


See how she made a vintage scale clock.

Vintage Sheet Quilt and Blogger PARTY!!!!

Amy at Diary of a Quilter always has such great ideas to do with vintage sheets! I'm especially crushing on this vintage sheet baby quilt she made! Gorgeous material makes a gorgeous quilt.
Check out the vintage sheet quilt!

ALSO, Amy and some other bloggers are putting together a social event for all bloggers who would like meet other bloggers during the Internation Quilt Market on May 14 in the evening. I have no idea what that is, but the social for bloggers (not really connected to "Market") sounds really fun! Amy assured me you don't have to be quilter to attend the social. I am trying really hard to attend and I would love to meet other bloggers. Go to this post to learn more about the party!

Some Party Highlights!

.
As usual, there are so many great ideas linked up to today's party! Here are a few of interest to me!!!
These vases at Nifty Thrifty Things used to be clear glass! They are so much more beautiful painted - from the inside out! Check out paint glass from the inside.



Painting chevron stripes is quickly becoming the rage. See how Bon Temps Beignet painted some chevron stripes!!!


Check out how EmmylouBeeDo turned a white onesie into this darling lovable St. Patty's shirt! This would work well for t-shirts too! I love the heart on the clover! Cute touch! You can print out the clover from this site.



I'm totally smitten with this bed made out of two matching vintage doors. One for the headboard and one for the footboard. See the pictures at Junk Restore.

Vintage Knobs, Keys and Trunks

I'm digging this assorted groups of vintage knobs, keys and trunks! It looks great against a plain wall at Peppermint Plum. Looks like I need to visit the antique store for some of these items.

DIY Vintage Signs

I adore vintage signs. Something about the nostalgia and the thought that if only they could talk... imagine the stories they could share. Have you seen the show American Pickers? I'd give anything to take a U-Haul & travel with those boys finding old vintage treasures (especially signs). Since that'll never happen, here's a great (and easy) tutorial to make your own faux vintage signs from Funky Junk Interiors. Get all the details HERE.

Candle Brooches

The Elephant's Trunk has a great idea I haven't seen before. She dressed up some plain candles with vintage brooches. They make the candles look so fancy!

Rosette Lampshade!

Rosy Red Buttons uses rosettes to dress up this lampshade (It had ric rac she didn't like.) I love the rosettes. It is a cute Pottery Barn knock-off.

Vintage Ornaments

Make some vintage ornaments by taking a strand of faux pearls (or other color beads) and hot glueing them to a boring (or ugly) ornament. Craftberry Bush made these so pretty and feminine!
