Vintage glassware is my very favorite thing, especially these type of candy dishes.  I never thought of turning them into candles, which is an awesome idea.  This candle is gorgeous.

DIY Anthro Pernilla Necklace

Bev at Flamingo Toes made her own version (shown above) of the following necklace that is a pricey $198 at Anthropologie.  Why pay so much when you can make your own for a lot less than that!  Can you tell the difference between the two necklaces?

What I love about this necklace is that it is a basic design that you can use components from broken jewelry or jewelry pieces you would like to refashion.  I know in my stash of vintage jewelry, I have boxes and boxes and could make all types of variations of this necklace.  Of course you can use new jewelry components found at craft stores.

Another thing I love about this design is that it opens up many possibilities for complimenting pieces of jewelry with all the varying pieces used in the necklace.

Are you ready to attempt your own necklace?

Upcycled decorated storage bin

Look at what you can do with an old unused storage bin!

This is what it looked like before . . . 

It is amazing that with a little imagination, hardware, scrap cloth and trims or whatever else you come up with, you can turn something plain like an old storage bin into something like a piece of furniture.
