Happy 1,000th Post, fleaChic!


Where has the time gone?  It seems like only yesterday that I dashed into
BFF Lisa's office and told her my idea for a blog.  Like all of my hair-brained
schemes she laughed, said it sounded like a great idea and told me to go for it.

I'm honored that you check in to share my obsession with
the vintage, the antiquated, and, sometimes, the weird.

Well, Boswell just yawned, stretched and told me to get back to work.
Where were we?  Oh, yeah, it's a

Repurposeful Monday.

Can you guess what the base of this flower wagon is?
It's the stairs from a drop-down attic door! 






These two wine bottles were 'slumped' - melted in a kiln.

Holes were drilled into these bottles then packed with moss:

Hockey fans might like a headboard made from

A vintage toboggan was mounted on a bench:

A coat rack was created using four old skis.

Skis also make beautiful wall art:
  Or, even as a coat hanger:

 This family room has so much repurposing going on - I love it!

 Vintage snow shoes make charming accessories.

Using chairs as racks is efficient and chic. 

I appreciate your stopping by today.

Tomorrow?  1,001!
