What a fabulous thing for me to remember right now. I thought losing everything I own was the end, but I am finding it is just a new beginning.
I am meeting new blogging friends, I got a great new phone with a wonderful camera, and I am finding things that I will use when I move to a new apartment.
Last Thursday, at a local auction, I found this wonderful picket made from old tobacco sticks. I love it and got it for $5.
I should have taken a before photo, but I was so excited to tweak it I kind of forgot. It is perfectly primitive and with the addition of some twine and old clothespins I was able to easily turn it into a display piece for antique photos.
It only took me about ten minutes, once I found my twine, and that problem was easily remedied by turning an old jar and a vintage photo into a twine holder.
So It turns out I tweaked two things this week and I am happy to be sharing them on Tweak it Tuesday over at Cozy Little House.
I love old photos and ways to display them. Very cool.
ReplyDeleteThe fence display is sweetly rustic! I'm diggin' the natural wood now, too.
ReplyDeleteYou Tweakheart~ I love it-that is a great old picket "fence" you have there- xo Diana
ReplyDeleteWell drat! I was still on humdinger tossup and threw away my jars. Trash doesn’t run till tomorrow. I still have time to dig one out. (smiling)
ReplyDeleteThat really looks great! I always forget to do the before photos!
ReplyDeleteThat little piece of picket fence is just the thing for a rustic backdrop to those old photos! That looks so cute.

ReplyDeleteYour little fence is adorable. As sad as it is to lose your things, it is nice to have a fresh start. I sometimes feel weighed down by all our stuff, both inherited and things we purchased.
