On The Ol' Skating Pond

O.k., so I have this older than dirt... Oops. I mean,"Vintage" (I've gotta remember to use my "cool" words!) sled and pair of ice skates. I've been trying to think what I could do with it them for a while now. I originally wanted to keep them, (like I do all the cool junk I come across!) but I decided to part with them and sell them at the Wheaton Craft Fair in November. So, today while the kids were napping, (I have 10 day care kids that come to visit me almost everyday!)I drug out the sled and ice skates and this is the first thought in progress that happened.

 

Naked.

All dressed up.

 

I hate it. I really do. I had some pine cones that I had painted and a string of green garland with mini pine scones that hung from it. So, I threw it up there with a few glitter snowflakes. It looks like the sled threw up. I know the picture is the pits, but I had to take it fast and couldn't be picky as I wanted to get this posted before the kids wake up. I think I need to paint the skates white, as they just seem to get lost in the whole thing. So, it's back to the drawing board. Why am I even showing you this, if I hate it? Because when you come to the craft fair in November and see the final fantastic version, you will be so impressed! Ha!

 

P.S.

I will be posting a few junk tibbets and a few new handbags, that will be at the craft fair. However, while I will be happy to sell you a purse at any time, in all fairness to everyone, the junky stuff will not be sold early or held. You will just have to show up early and it will be on a first come, first serve basis. Yee haw! Let the madness begin!
