treasured trash :: what to do with that fish bowl

I have a fleamarket / garage sale obsession. That's how I get all the treasures that I list on my ebay auctions at PopArtCafe , not to mention how I've furnished my home (even down to cleaning and office supplies) which is about 99.5% great finds from these places. Not only do I save A LOT of money this way but I think ( and visitors will agree) that it looks pretty JUST COOL! Anyway...found this great idea over at a fav blog of mine, Beach Vintage, and have to do it - after all, I think I've passed up a kazillion old fish bowls at all the tag sales I've hit in the past 30 years!Yup - I'm that old ;)

those comfy slipcovered sofas and other accessories don't hurt the look either...

Simone Georgette ... "Picked up this glass fish bowl from a second hand store for $5.00. What on earth was I going to do with it? I had no intention of using it for it's original purpose. So here's the equation. Sand from my favourite beach + 2 candles = FAB atmosphere at night..."

at home :: in the blue zone

I'm in the blue zone. I've been painting everything - shelves,cupboards,chairs and baskets a luscious shade of blue that I mixed up from a bunch of old cans of paint found in the pantry. Blue really brightens up the old house! Hmmm...who will be my next victim ?

little vignettes from around my house

I have an old carved spanish chest that is looking pretty bleak right now and in need of a face lift ;) Think I'll splash a bit of color over that too....

Lovin' the blues - they're JUST COOL!
