Vintage Harvest Lantern

Do you remember those old "boy scout" type lanterns that were just perfect for camping or hanging on the barn wall?  I just love them!  I've tried my hand at giving it the "Punkin Seed Productions" touch.  What do you think? 

This one has already sold but I'd be happy to make more!!!  I'm thinking some cute winter scenes are just around the corner!

Old Sewing Machine Drawer Fall Centerpiece

As I've mentioned before, I love repurposing old stuff.  Some might consider it "junk" but I think that old stuff has so much character!  Take this old sewing machine drawer - dress it up with some fun fall designs, fill it with leaves, rusty star sprigs and homemade salt dough bowl fillers - and POOF - a great centerpiece for your table!

Boo Mr. Scaredy Cat!

I like the whimsical side of Halloween - I'm not into really getting scared - just playing around a bit!  To tell you the truth, I'm quite the scaredy cat!!!!  So this little block set fits me perfectly:

What To Do With a Rather Large Bun Foot - Make a Primitive Pumpkin!

One of my favorite persons to buy junk from is a guy named John.  He travels back to Kansas to his farm each year and brings a trailer load of  junk (treasures) tied every which way and that, to a local flea market.  My friend and I have a date every year to go visit John and hunt for treasures.  Well, I had an opportunity to visit John's home on the other side of the state recently.  He has barns full of these treasures!  I love to find junk and turn it into something cool....like the old window screens I posted about here.

Anyway, on part of my treasure hunt, John challenged me to come up with a use for these:

It is an old oak bun foot made for the bottom of furniture.  This one is about the size of a softball.

The immediate thing that came to mind (of course) was a pumpkin!  So here is what I came up with.  After painting the primitive scene, I attached some rusty leaf and wire garland along with a rustic nametag. 

So, this is what I came up with.  Can you think of any creative ways to use these old bun feet?
