Reimagining flea market and yard sale finds.
It’s not about what it is - it’s about what it can become.

With a new add-on of making things with bits of foraged nature.
Antique domino with beads and other jewelry bits.

Oil lamp parts made into Christmas wreaths with acorn embellishments. Each one has a “jingle bell acorn” included. The lamp part is called a “fitter” and is intended to hold the glass shade.

Santa brought in Max, Emmett, and Darla to help out in his workshop. Will they take over the elves’ jobs? Will the elves be able to find new employment? Only time will tell.

Santa’s converting to AI robots! Does this one seem naughty or nice?

Meanwhile, his friend, Coccinea, had found some ripe elderberries and climbed up to fetch Albus for help with picking them. Another forest creature was passing by on her way to find a safe spot to build her cocoon.

Nutheads in a Knothole
One sunny afternoon, Albus decided to relax and brush up on plant lore. He settled into the hammock, propped a book on his chest, and began to scan the pages for useful information. Somewhere between “propagating spores” and “harvesting fiddleheads,” he drifted off to sleep.

This would be a fun craft to do with kids.

Stacked button ornaments. I spent the better part of the day sorting through my button stash to find the right colors and sizes. It seems like using roughly 140 buttons would put a dent in the collection, but no.

A big batch of itty bitty lanterns made from buttons and marbles.

Some little mushroom house scenes to set on your window sill. Bonus points if you can spot the blurry frog sitting on a rock in the background.

Glass and ceramic insulator Christmas trees. A little bit steampunk?

Cast iron wheel suspended between wooden furniture parts. The vintage tree pictures have been gently applied so that they can be easily replaced with your choice of pictures. The space below has enough room for a small trinket box.

Picture wheel or desk fidget, it’s made from a steel wheel that was probably part of some sort of cart and what look to be furniture pieces, maybe legs from a bureau. I added some vintage butterfly prints, but they could be easily replaced with your own choice of pictures.

A very shiny, chrome (?) coffee pot made into a birdhouse with a fork for a perch.
