From Trash to Treasure projects

One of my very favorite things to do is to take something ready for the trash and turn it into something great and functional and even sometimes beautiful. I had these old reject cabinet doors for awhile and just decided that they could be something other than cabinet doors so here they are turned into chalkboards with a little wooden spoon for a kitchen towel holder and a little chalk holder on the side. The other one is a cute little "shopping list" chalkboard. They sell for $20.00.



Some samples of my Garden Veggie Picks

These garden veggie picks have been so popular and they make your garden have so much personality. These are just a few pics. in the process of making them and the finished product. I sell the small picks for $3.00 each and the large for $5.00.

My absolute best sellers...

Yard Coasters as my husband named them, have sold great! You can see a few of the designs that I have painted. Over 60 coasters and not one alike. ( I like to paint different designs). Also you can see the process of making them from cuttting out the wood pieces to painting to assembly. I really enjoyed making them. I sell them for $9.00 each. But my best ever sellers have been my vegetable plant picks.(pics coming soon). Also I have just made some new garden birdbath picks as well. Pics comeing for those too.
