What does a Pumpkin and Zippers have in Common?



                                                      


What does a Pumpkin and Zippers have in Common?

Nothing!

But, I do Love Pumpkins and was thinking, there are tons out 
there decorated in many clever and creative ways!  

How could I do something different?  It took a few days and
when I came across my zipper stash, mostly metal and vintage.
Well, you know how an idea just pops in your mind. 


 


This was quite easy and I do love the results!
Simple things give great pumpkin-pleasure!

These were the main supplies.  Dollar Tree Pumpkin soft
enough for the small straight pins.  Zippers from my collection,
tacky glue which I started with and found stick glue easier to
use to hold in place until I pinned the zippers. 
Later not shown on photo, I gathered, an old small spool, some
burlap and lace, and the special button on top! 


 

Now she completed my Fall Mantel Décor!

Happy Fall
Happy Halloween

Barn Red Dresser Redo and a Fall Hello!



         HELLO  To FALL!                                      



I am BACK, and Ready to share some projects that I am behind on posting.  Sometimes life takes a turn, where posting takes a back seat in your Drive of all that you love to do!

I did this dresser a while back, love the color, and with a dresser, you can use it so many ways, this one was used for a TV Cadenza!  It was done for a dear young couple that saw it unfinished, and could see the possibilities!


She was done in red, distressed with a black patina.



This Dresser was in good shape and with it being 7 foot long and 9 dovetail drawers, it is a perfect redo!




 


Wonderful original knobs were done in black.




I wish I could stage my finished pieces, but I am just lucky enough to move them around in the garage for redo!










Thank you for visiting and take care,

Marilyn
