This is the coolest thing....something that every sewer needs. My uncle made this spool holder for the silent auction that my family did at our Christmas get together to help out one of our uncles that needed surgery and would have to take some time off of work. I know, I know, I got this at Christmas, and I'm just now posting about it. Sadly, it took that long for me to get it hung up on the wall. Anyway, The reason why this spool holder is so neat is because you can hide the spools by closing the door to the box and it looks like a pretty picture frame. (see pic 2 below.

As you can see, I have a ways to go before I get this completely filled up, but it's always nice to have room to grow.
This is a picture of one of my favorite flea market finds. It's an old Dr. Pepper wooden crate. I got Josh to hang it up on the wall for me, and as you can see, I am using it to store crafting items such as my scrapbooking embellishments, ribbon, and paint. Neat idea huh?!! I can't say it's original :)

This is my other favorite flea market purchase. It's an old chest of drawers that have been refurbished with a hint of a distressed look. I have it in our living room as sort of an end table. (It's the only room in the house that there was room, but it fits it nicely.) It has been a wonderful addition to our home as it has provided additional storage, which unfortunately our house lacks.
And since I seem to be on the theme of favorites and the flea market, this is one of my favorite friends Karlie, we went to the flea market together, which was a good time. Much better than going to the flea market with my husband who discourages me from spending money. (Love you Josh!) It was nice to hang it; it's something that we don't get to do all of the time.
Here are some cards that I made last weekend. Just thought I would share them.
Have a good weekend!

Finally, this last picture doesn't have much to do with crafting, but it's something I'm proud of. It's a picture of my marigolds that I grew from seed that mom gave me! I normally don't try my luck with seeds becuase I don't have quite the green thumb that my mom does, but I had them and thought I should give it a try and not let the seeds go to complete waste. They've gotten a lot bigger since I took this picture.

Love the blog design, it's super cute! I really want both, the spool holder and the bottle crate for my craft closet! Oh, well, I guess there is always something to covet. Hope you are feeling better.
I love my spool holder from Dwight too. Unfortunately, I could have used two! The Dr. Pepper crate is a great idea. I think that is very encouraging that you have flowers from seeds. I have to say my few attempts at growing things from seeds have ended up as weeds!
your blog colors/design is so cute. love it. i must make trip up to your flea market! you find the coolest things. the cards are awesome. have you checked into being a stampin' up chic? you really should. i love my spool holder too.
Love the new look of your blog site. You did a great job. Glad to hear the marigolds grew and made beautiful flowers for you. Keep the dead flowers picked off and they should continue blooming all summer til the first frost. You can let the dead blooms dry out and then drop the seeds from the inside on the ground for pretty flowers for next year.
Love the new blog design! And I love your spool holder! And mine too! :P Yep! I got one! Wooohoooo!! That dr pepper crate in a fantastic idea! I so need to do that! Love the cards too. And I'm very impressed with the flowers! I am no good with seeds so far... Way to go! Makes me think I might try it again one day...
