Ice Cream Cylinder/Vase

Last Sunday my husband and I stopped at a yard sale and I bought 2 things. A necklace that had a pendant with the number "48" and a tall aluminum cylinder. At the time, I didn't know what the cylinder was but I knew instantly what I wanted to do with it.



After I studied on it for awhile I figured out the cylinder was the insides of an old ice cream maker. It stands about 12" tall and near the top is a "fill line".

I had an old band of burlap that I glued around the middle. I added twine, a button, an old key, and the necklace I had purchased at the sale.



I added some silk hydrangeas I had on hand.



At the sale the necklace was priced at $1.00 but there was no price on the cylinder. When I asked the lady how much it was she said "Oh, you can just have that old thing".
Lucky for me she doesn't "get it". hehe

I'm pretty happy with the results and it was real quick and easy to put together.

Art Angels in Orlando 2nd Anniversary

My friend Kiki and I went to the Art Angels in Orlando this past Tuesday to their 2nd anniversary celebration.
We were told to look for a tree decorated with doilies, and sure enough, here it is.
Karen Sue from http://suebees-karensue.blogspot.com/ did a good job decorating it.

Kathy on the Left, Sue on the right. These are the Chic and Shabby girls.
We have all met through blogging and they were set up across from me at The Fancy Flea in Lakeland, Florida a couple of weeks ago.

Clarins Paris Display Case

I found this pair of Clarins Paris lucite display cases last Saturday at an estate sale.

I've been looking for that "something special" to display minitaure perfume bottles that I've collected over the years.
Each case stands about 20" tall and is about 10" wide. Each has one shelf in the middle and one on the bottom, the back is completely open. 

My dilemma: I think I might cover up the Clarins Paris with script decoupage. I can't make up my mind. What do you think?linking towww.fadedcharmcottage.blogspot.com
