Iron Butterfly

A quick little project to bring a little taste of spring to these cold winter days. This is a frame I picked up at a garage sale last fall. It's been sitting in my to-do pile. I knew what I wanted to do with it moment I grabbed it. It was a side by side frame. Time to mix it up a bit.

I wanted to have it hang rather than sit for a couple of reasons. First, most houses only have so many places to "sit" photos and with the rising popularity of gallery walls, I thought I could kill two birds with one stone. First I attached a loop of burlap to make a hanger but when held up,the frame wouldn't quite lay flat. I grabbed a small plate that was purchased at Home Depot, drilled a couple of holes and screwed the plate to the back, across the hinge area. This made the whole thing hang nice and flat.

 A couple pieces of some vintage inspired scrapbook paper of lepidopteras. A nice little sign of spring during these cold winter days.

Hope you enjoy! Let me know what you think!

Miscellany Monday

Here's some pickin's I found this past weekend. They made my heart go pitter patter! Take a quick peek to see what's comin' round at The Savvy Shanty.

How 'bout this giant cheese wheel! Can't you just see that serving up some artisan cheese during the holidays. And that block and tackle, I have big plans for that in Big Daddy's office. And when can a girl turn down some silver?

Look at the these HUMONGO lamp bases! And they are SOLID!!! Could be used outdoors they are so heavy. Killer frame in the back. And a really cool vintage painting with a cork frame.

These clam baskets make me giddy. Especially when I think about all the scrumptious goodness that they have held in the days gone by.

This little 2 tiered diddy will get a makeover that will make her cute as a button!

And these were just too fun to pass up. Love the vintage state plates.

So there's a little peak into the goodies headin' up to The Savvy Shanty.

Enjoy,
