Identify whether you do any or use any of these things. Why or why not?
I have never been to any of these stores but now that I have learned more about them I really want to go to some resale or thrift shops.

I think this floral display is really cool and very creative. It is made using window frame and a toolbox.

I really like this clock which is made of gear mold.

This is a really pretty candle holder, made from an old coffee cup and a plate.

I have seen clocks similar to the one made out of gear mold before. Though I have mainly seen them made out of materials such as old strainers with dominoes as the numbers of the clock. Here's one example of one: http://www.junkmarketstyle.com/item/27853/its-time-to-play-dominoes
ReplyDeleteI love the candle idea. I love burning candles and having them around the house so this would be a great idea for me as well!
ReplyDeleteBecause I live in the basement, I use a lot of candles throughout the year. It heats up my room! I like the candle idea. :)
ReplyDeleteI really like the candle holder idea. I think it would be pretty easy to create and you don't need that many materials. I had also not been to most of these stores, but I think that I will definitely start going to some soon.
