Did you ever see something online that you thought was absolutely beautiful and you want to try to make it yourself?
That is what's happening here today. I saw this beautiful vintage green chippy crate with a handle in the center. It was just a photo with no markings of where it came from. 
I knew now my mission was to make one of these beautiful crates and use it for flowers in the garden.

One of my favorite things to do is to try to replicate something I've seen. 
I do it often with my own twist. Recently I saw an herb box I just loved and I wanted to make my own version of it. 
There was one part in particular I knew I could replicate by repurposing something I already had on hand.

Recently I saw a wire basket that held garlic in an online store. 
I thought it was adorable and very do-able too! 
I wanted to make something similar to hold a small terra cotta pot so I grabbed my supplies and got to work. 
See how it went....

If you've ever heard the sound of an outdoor fountain then you know how beautifully relaxing it can be. 
I've always wanted a fountain on my deck but frankly they are pretty expensive and usually you need a readily available power source. 
Today I'm making my own inexpensive fountain that works off solar power!

Today's project fills a need for sure! 
I have a workshop in my basement but I work all over the house. I craft in the office and right on our huge kitchen island. 
I am forever forgetting things that I need in the basement. Or if I try to bring up everything I need I usually have my hands and my pockets full on the way up the stairs. 
Today I'm going to fix that problem...

Here is a project anyone can do! And I mean anyone! 
Sometimes a table riser can be too big. You may just want to add interest to something very small.
When I realized that the tops of these easy to find candles are so pretty I knew I had to do something with them.

I've been collecting inspiration for this project for a long time now.
All I really needed was to find the right frame. 
I had a lucky day at the thrift store this weekend and came home with not one frame but two. And don't you know I had a good idea for both of them!

Here's a quick one for the garden! 
You all know how I like to repurpose old signs and turn them into new projects...
Well today is no different. While searching for scrap wood to build a birdhouse stake for a potted plant, I ran across a scrap of an old sign I could use. 
Take a look...

Here is a very cute idea for recycled tin cans. 
You may have seen this project before but how cute if you made a bunch of them, one for each of the herbs?!
I'm starting with just one but it is cute enough, and easy enough, to make more! 
Take a look...

If you've been following along for a while you may remember the black candlesticks I thrifted and painted for my mantel. 
And then you may remember that I turned them back into brass for a rustic brass bell look. 
Well today they are getting one more makeover and this time I'm using them outdoors!
