Sam I Am...... said...: OH!!!! I just bought and read a great book for those "treasures". Salvage Studio and you can order it from Amazon.com or just log on to SalvageStudio.com or Amazon and you can browse some of the ideas in the book without spending a penny! They used old silverware for drawer pulls, jewelry and hooks etc. It was SUCH an inspiring book! I love your blog and will be checking in regularly! I want to make some of your crochet items...I WISH I could knit but so far no luck! LOL! Thank you for sharing your life with us!; July 28, 2011 at 3:35 AM

Ive been making my own rustic looking frames from some scraps of timber and mounting rusty old things in them with some hand stitching etc ... they look really good. The possiblities are endless.; July 28, 2011 at 8:46 PM
