diy {vintage tin candles & Women’s Day}

Today I am guest posting at Design Sponge….so go on over there to check out the diy post.

I find it very difficult to turn down a cute vintage tin. I feel a strong connection to Frank of American Pickers. I get the hard decision each time he walks away from an old oil can. Mike, I hear you. I see you. (hmmm Parenthood). My collection has been growing and I needed to do something fun with some of my tins. Head on over to Design*Sponge and let me know what you think!

So you want to hear something crazy? I am joining the ranks of Design*Sponge contributors! My monthly diy posts specialty will be flea market finds. A great excuse for me to buy even more junk treasures! For those of you familiar with Design*Sponge you understand why I am blown away and honored to be a contributor.

Chris and my lovely kids don’t get it, so I share it here…with my online friends that can understand!

Do you want to hear something even crazier? My doily canvas tote is featured in the recent Women’s Day magazine! I picked up a copy at Target and stood in the aisle trying to find the feature. I’m am sure people passing by wondered about the lady with the huge smile looking at a magazine. I was giddy. A little girl ran into me with a shopping cart and her dad gave me a look of displeasure for stopping in the middle of the aisle. I thought about showing him my Doily Tote page, but didn’t think he’d care. I had asked a sweet shopper to take a picture of me with my phone, but I can’t figure out how to get the pics onto my computer. Figures.

My first major national magazine feature meant a little celebrating.  I picked up Pizzelles from Aldi’s and fixed coffee in my kitchen…then a little person woke up from her nap early and interrupted my quiet celebration. It’s a glamorous life.

Quote by Chris – who as I am writing this is trying to be a handyman (which I won’t even address):

“I think God has cursed any work of my hands to teach me that I have to make a living working with people.

This is a bloody mess. Ridiculous.”

Obviously we will never go on the road as one of those builder/crafter couples….it would be a ridiculous mess.
