Cloche {of sorts}, ivy...and a question

I am still tweaking my back deck and have added

a few more goodies to it. I have had this basket for

several years and the big box store had a special

buy on ivy plants for $1.58 this week so I grabbed

several. I need to plant them yet, but for now I

thought they looked cute in the basket.

I don't know what this piece is called, but for lack

of a better word I will call it a cloche. How easy

would these be to make! I know we could whip

some of them up fast. It is just two pieces of glass

framed out and the ends are open. Love it!

Find some old white chippy wood and make

a few...I know I want to!

Still loving my vintage stand on rollers that

I purchased at a garage sale last year.

I made use of my antique shutter by adding it to this small table.

More ivy on my patio table.

I brought the old plant stand out and added burlap

to the table.

It is getting done slowly , but surely. Yesterday and

today we have been deluged with rain so I have

been inside playing. Hopefully the sun will return

soon!

Now I have a question...for those of you who

print on fabric for pillows etc. HOW do you do it

and have it turn out nice? I am lucky to get

50% of mine that look decent. Mine come out of the

printer with black smudges here and there and they

are not pretty. I am using a HP psc 1210 xi all in one printer, scanner , copier.

I have tried the freezer paper method and also

just tried spray adhesive on cardstock and then

adhering it to the fabric and sending it through

with the same sad results. :(

Help please?? :)

Thank you!!

My one regret and digging in the archives

My bestie camera is in the fix it shop so

I had to get out the dusting cloth and go

digging wayyyyyy down into the archives. {hey it is dusty down there. lol}

I hope you enjoy these photos as much

the 2nd time around.

My one regret you ask? I have been painting some items this week including this piece of an old shutter that I have had for several years. I never thought I would ever regret painting something white, but yep here I am. living with regret.

I don't know if you remember it from long ago posts, but this was a beautiful deep aqua with white paint splatters. I kept putting off painting it because I just wasn't sure and then one day I took the plunge. *sniff sniff* I do like it white, but it doesn't compare to what it looked like before...the wonderful patina all gone now. I am thinking of throwing it outside in the rain and see what that does. Seriously.

I also had hubby cut an old door in half for me and hinge it in the middle with old painty, peely, creamy hinges. I need to do some work on it yet and put the white porcelain doorknobs back on, but I love it. Intend to take it to my booth for a prop, but haven't accomplished that yet...one of these days.

Wayyy in the back of this photo do you see that metal cabinet with pink flowers on it? I know ...barely. I bought that beauty at the goodwill. Never seen anything like it before. I will show it better later. The bottom door tips out into a clothes hamper. So cool!! That is intended for my booth as well if I manage to actually get it there. lol.

Hopefully next Wednesday I will have my camera back and be taking new photos again to share with you. Run on over to Faded Charm for more beautiful White Wednesday posts and be sure and tell Kathleen that I said hello. :) Blessings~
