Time to ring in 2012!

We are linking up to Becky over at Beyond the Picket Fence!

Now that Christmas is over, it's time to start thinking about the New Year and all the parties that go along with it! I saw this sweater sleeve idea on the internet, so thought I'd try my hand at making my own version of a wine bottle cover. I think it turned out pretty sweet.

Best part, no sewing required for this girl who despised Home Economics. But, I can embellish - ha!



Since I don't want to buy wine charms, I decided to create my own...from my junk girl stash...
My motto holds true for this old door bell button: Never throw anything away!







They are all so unique in their own way. That's the #1 rule, when you're talkin' wine charms.


So, if you aren't invited to any parties this NYE, create your own!

Clock themed New Year's party!

Happy New Year! Just thought I'd share a few pictures from my New Year's party, featuring clocks, clocks and more clocks!


The dessert area began with greenery and this decorative door which was a "save" from a piece of disgarded furniture. (Just goes to show a junk girl shouldn't throw anything away as a good "use" for an item usually presents itself later on...!)


A no-longer working clock was taken apart and the face was the perfect platter for the main dessert...sitting on a silver base for some height.


Here she is! It was pretty yummy!

A while back when my junk sisters and I were out junkin', I found these old round Bristol Recorder charts. They worked just right as placemats.






These old, totally "cool" metal clock faces were used as drink coasters...




I just love 'em!


This recently found two-piece silver dish was used to hold the ice cubes for drinks -

it worked great!






Have a fabulous junk-filled 2011!
