{Repurposed: Window}

It's Wednesday my dears.  And I couldn't be more tickled about it...as my family arrives from Florida today ~ YIPPEE!!!!!! I haven't seen them in over 7 months, which is way too long for me ;-)  So if you are looking for me...I'm the one playing lots of hooky the next two weeks!  Oh, I will still be posting daily here...but I will be spending every second that I can squeeze in hugging and kissing and sniffing on my niece and nephew.  Hehe.

Okay, enough about me and on with this post.  Today's repurposed post is something I am sure lots (if not all) of you have seen before, however there is something a bit different about it.  Have a look~see at this window with guests seating assignment (escort area)...

Did you notice it?  Okay, take another look if you didn't, I'll wait ;-)
 .........................hint ~ look at where the lock latch is.................................... 

Yes, it's on it's side! If it wasn't on it's side it would be much shorter...so I do like how it's turned on it's side

I adore this window, as I have two just like it...yep with the little feet as I call them and all.  However, I think mine has bit more chippy paint, but still the same.  I also LOVE the fact that they didn't write names in all of the panes!  And I adore the simple wood piece holding it up.

All in all ~ a fabulous window display, no?

{Repurposed: Wood Soda Crate}

In last week's 'Repurposed' post I showed you a soda crate used as a caramel corn holder for a dessert table ~ well for this week's 'Repurposed' post I figure why not show you another way to use a wood soda crate at a wedding!  Fun, no?  Yet, I am sure I will be showing you lots of other ways to use them as time goes on ;-)

So today it's all about repurposing the wood soda crate to be used for an escort area at a wedding.  Have a look-see at this darling escort area...

Here the bottom of a soda crate is being used to hold key chains and names for seating.  And while I know this is just one crate, a handful of them would sure look fabulous all lined up! 

And how darling is the idea of key chains as escorts?  I love that each key chain represents a different table...so find your name, and your destination. L-O-V-E it!  Here are a couple more closeups for you...

It looks like simple, small, gold screw in hooks (something like these) were used to hang the key chains from...however, small nails and pushpins would work just as well.  And just think of all the options of things you could hang or pin...like keys!  Oh, you bet your buttons I am loving the creativity here!

{Repurposed: Wood Soda Crate}

Happy Thursday my dears!  Goodness, I can't even believe that it is Thursday today.  Where in the world did the week go?  And to think that this weekend is Memorial Day ~ aye, aye, aye!!!

Anyhoo, before I get ahead of myself, again, about the weekend...I wanted to share this super duper easy and cute way to display caramel corn (or popcorn or a variety of other treats)...

Cute, no?  Oh, me likey A LOT!  I am always over the moon about repurposing things ;-)  And all you need for this project is a wood soda crate and some homemade cone holders (just roll some parchment or paper to form a cone and glue or tape to secure) ~ that's all it takes to get this fun, festive vintage caramel corn holder.  However, I think you can put just about anything in those cones and it would be fabulous!
