'ello, lovelies.  I 'ope you're ready for some
splendid repurposin' this merry Monday.

(I'm speaking in a Cockney accent today.  It's just a
coincidence that I watched My Fair Lady last night.)


Thrift shops are excellent locations in which ta' find ol' sheet music.
Fill the cones wit' potpourri and use in place of rice at a weddin'.

What is it?  It's a Penny Ball, luv.  Folklore says that pennies
in the garden repel slugs and make hydrangeas  bluer.  Just find
an ol' bowlin' ball, a sack o' pennies, some super glue and you've got
a project to keep the kiddies busy (for a while, at least.)

'ow clever - a large, old window bein' used as a garden gate.



Want to 'pretty up' your garden with a coupla' unique birdfeeders?


Second Chance to Dream
Turn a flea market candy dish into a Victorian-ish birdfeeder
with a few simple tools.  Click 'ere for the easy tutorial.





Second Chance to Dream
If there's just no' a place in your 'ome for a vintage lamp, put it to use in
the garden.  Click 'ere for the surprisin'ly easy step-by-step tutorial.




If you've ever been in a Joann's Fabric store then you're aware of th'
inexpensive natural wood birdhouses they sell.  Maybe your little
budgie would enjoy a lightin' fixture made from one.




Awesome Craft Pins
'ave you ever noticed (yup, still talking with an accent) that Starbucks'
bottled coffee drinks resemble vintage milk bottles?   Re-use 'em for
servin' other types o' drinks.  




Oakland Avenue
My Bucket List will definitely 'ave a vintage
card catalog on it, love.  They're simply brilliant.




Design Sponge
Next time you see a damaged-beyond-repair desk lyin'
beside the road, check to see if tha' drawers are salvageable.  



The Classic Farmhouse





'ere are onions 'angin' in old panty 'ose/stockings.
They'll keep fo' months if stored this way.






Better Homes and Gardens
Wit' tellies growin' larga' and larga', many new models won't fit in traditional entertainment cabinets.  Consida' turnin' one into a laundry or gardenin' station.



Twice Lovely
Another older entertainment center turned into a puppet stage.




Homemaking Cottage
Believe it or not, that's a coffee table painted wit' chalk paint
for littl' uns to use as a craft and drawin' station.  So clever!

If Professor Henry Higgins can turn a street vendor into a duchess then
surely we can perform a few repurposing acts of our own.  Right, oh!
