Finally using my glass finds

17 years ago

So many projects, so little time..LOL!! Here's some stuff I've been working on. I'm seriously running out of real estate guys!! I don't want my place to look "cluttered" with my beauties, but I want to put them out also..Hmmm.

Totem on a stick..One of my faves..

{{gwi:187263}}

Greeting totem on old door in front entry..The bell on top has a saying about "friendship"

{{gwi:187264}}

This one was a little expensive-$10 for the blue vase, but it was such a pretty color I had to have it..and I had matching glass to keep it company..hee hee

{{gwi:187265}}

I could never get anything to grow in this iron basket- so I planted the kind that won't die..

{{gwi:187266}}

Teacup tealights

{{gwi:187267}}

Stick totem with Fenton glass bell

{{gwi:187268}}

My new "old" wheelbarrow I just scored and planted. The antique store had it priced for $20. I also got a 15" rusty saw blade and two insulators- he gave it all to me for $20..Yay!!

{{gwi:187269}}

The side of the driveway we just re-did..

{{gwi:187270}}

And my favorite re-purpose- My mom bought a house near me a couple months ago. She kept calling the listing agent to come get their sign over and over again. They would never come..So, I took the sign out of her yard, and made it for the birdies..Yep, they enjoy it!!

    Wow and a DOUBLE WOW. Tiffani, first off welcome to our little forum here. Secondly you will fit in nicely. You creations are wonderful. I too like your repurposed real estate birdhouse and feeder post. I like the half barrel planter, the flowers, the totems, well I guess I like em all.

    I like everything too, what a bunch of great ideas~ that bird condo sign post is wonderful. Love the plate flowers in the basket.
    The blue totem is gorgous, love the chair too...lol
    your Totems on a stick would make great hose guards since the copper pipe is so tall.
    Very good!

    You have been a busy little bee. Everything is very nice, I like the pink totem and the one on the door and the bird house condos. You found some great glass, I guess I'm cheap, I hate to pay over $3.00 for anything & would rather it be $1.00 or less. I need to get over that because yours are so inspiring. Thanks for sharing all the pics and keep up the good work.

    You've had a busy summer, love the colors of shrubs by driveway & that half oak barrel is so interesting, the amber & turquoise totems are lovely & love one on the door. The iron chair & totem are wonderful, I would love to have that chair!! I just like it all!! Jan

    I saw this earlier, and loved the things so much!
    The blue glass is wonderful. For myself I would have
    probably spent the money, but right now I am making
    them to sell so I limit most things to under a dollar.
    I wanted to print a couple of photos and was out
    of paper. Had to go out to the workshop to get some.
    Just now getting back to the PC-got sidetracked.
    Bill's brother works at a paper mill, and when they
    were making printing paper he would bring a truckload
    to the Christmas party. I got a bunch of boxes
    of paper! Unfortunatly they don't make printing paper
    any more. Glad I got about 10 boxes when I could!

    REally enjoyed your sharing shots.I have a collection of that bright blue glassware in my bathroom window but i just cannot bring myself to use it elsewhere.The vases are vintage and look so pretty with the sun shining through I have a TEENY bluebird too.Yours are great!

    You R 1 talented lady!! I am drooling over all of your pretty treasures! I especially love the old door with the greeting totem. That piece of iron is beautiful and what a way to re purpose... simply GJ genious! Your totems are very pretty and very "put-together", and I love the wheelbarrow, of course many of our hearts skip a beat when we see one, we know the feeling of nabbing good garden junk!!LOL!! I am so lovin' your mailbox, i hafta have one of those!! Great pics TFS!!

    WOWEE!!! What wonderful projects! Love your totems! The amber and the blue are great! And your realty sign...what a great idea! And I just love the "birdie" sign there too. You've found lots of wonderful things....

  • 17 years ago

    I know what you mean about running out of room, especially cause the dang totems seem to take over. LOL But you sure did create some pretty ones, and the other things in your yard are really neat too. But I think my favorite is your unique idea of a Greeting Totem hanging by your front door!!
    What an idea and also what a great holder for it. WOW.
    I think you've just added to my Too Long to Do List.
    LOL

    hugs, Karen

    FANTASTIC creations!!! I especially love the door totem. What a great way to use a pot hanger.

    Question - your blue totem - how do you keep it so straight? It looks like you have something stuck in the mouth of the vase... what is it?

    WELCOME TO THE FORUM!!!

    Thank you all for your compliments!

    cait1- It is a piece of pipe insulation that comes in a 6 ft length and I just cut it to the size I need. I got this GREAT tip from our fellow junker (Cindee) and it's awesome..

    Tiffani :)

    These are real beauties! I especially like the pink one. I guess I don't know what pipe insulation is. What is it made of?

  • 17 years ago

    Wonderful stuff, and never is it clutter!
    The blue is so pretty. I have those same little birds in red!
    I love the Fenton Glass. Glad to know I am not the only one that uses vintage stuff. My mother thows a hissey fit everytime I do!
    Great work!

  • 17 years ago

    Thanks Tiffany. Pipe insulation, huh? That kinda foamy stuff? I remember it in America but can't think if I've ever seen it here. But now I will look for it!

  • 17 years ago

    Tiffani, you've got it going on, chickie! Just love everything!

    Cindee was one of the first to inspire me also last year when I first found this place. Her garden rocks!

    Love your pics ~tenderlee

    ttennis...I think my posting earlier must have went to cyberspace! I remember thinking what an awesome combination of wrought iron and glass! I love it! As others said, the door entry and cup feeder...just fits perfectly! Your gardens are looking wonderful & can see how the hard work you've done!

    The little "blue birds" glass totem is so charming! Worth every $! TFS your pics...beautiful place & nice recycle on the sale sign! Jeanne S.

    Your totems are some of my very favorites! Some day I'll make it by to see them now that we know we live kinda close to one another!
