G for Vintage GAMES! CandyLandy Tin Turned Wall Clock



Happy 50th Anniversary Tin turned Wall Clock - JUNKMARKET Style

OK.. I've seen just about everything turned into a clock.. so when I saw this tin, I knew immediately what it would be.....



I will be making a few more of this babies.. I have a ton of tins that will make interesting time pieces.

;) Thanks again Janis!

PS - Here's a tip... don't want to buy clock parts.. then get an inexpensive clock from a discount store for a a $1 or two.. carefully take apart & reuse!



That Girl,
Ang

F for Vintage Notion Box Turned FUNKY Jewelry Box - JUNKMARKET Style

F is for Funky! (This IS SOLD)


Vintage Notion Box Turned Funky Jewelry Box

Another idea I 'borrowed' from Janis... I LOVE her style. It's so elegant & glamorous... I still have a ways to go... ;)

I didn't know what to do with my cute little notion box until yesterday. I mean it was already cute in it's own little way....




I had already painted it white but got creatively stuck...
Then I saw Janis' Thriftday post and knew exactly what I wanted to do...



This is the after.... I think it's just lovely.



I'm not sure if I can give it up to the consignment boutique yet.... hmm

J is for Junk Angel of Wind Chimes

(A swift breach of etiquette; I skipped a few letters F,G,H,I) LOL Oh well I'll got back at a later time.

Oh Junk Angel of Wind Chimes - JUNKMARKET Style


(Click the image to see full picture)
Oh Junk Angel Of The Wind Chimes tell me what makes you so bright?


My jeweler gave me a challenge.. if passed he'd give me some of the the silver plated items that crosses his precious metal desk that isn't so precious.....



You started out as a vintage gold filligree cover....

who was severed and recolored with silver.



Add on some jewels, velvet ribbon and silverware charms...... and voila There you are.... A sweet cherub superstar.



I used the blue ribbon and jewel (the Angel is holding) because he said it was his favorite color. The challenge was making it manly enough for him to want to use but still pretty. ;)

Did I achieve it?




...With your crystal lines and your silver bells. Oh how you sparkle through the night.



I rejoiced with glee and made this piece for him. I have the rest of the set to play and create with.....

Thanks Janis for the inspirational wind chimes.
