White Wednesday~My Latest Finds + Things I've Been Creating

I stopped by the antique mall on Monday to restock my little shelf, and here's what I brought home.  Now really, more white buttons?  I just can't resist!
These four small finials just called my name.  Then one of the dealers gave me the butter pat..how sweet of her! 

Here's what I've been 'creating' this week.  I guess we don't say 'crafting' any more..
I photocopied botanical prints, adhered to a heavy paper and cut out stencils  Each letter is made from a different print.

Signs made from shutter slats, and, unfortunately, my white bucket which just fell apart...Oh well, at least I can repurpose the slats!  Just have to add the wire hangers with some kind of embelishment..I'll figure that out tomorrow.

Here, I've just attached vintage 'insulators' to a scrap piece of wood for hangers.


More creations from the bucket slats.

This is a 'root starter' or vase.  I have one in my kitchen where I root cuttings all the time, so there's always something green growing!

Well, I didn't make the dog...a friend of mine reproduced it from an antique.  I did make the vignette!
Isn't he cute?
