I love this idea I found on the blog of Junk Camp. Since today is Earth Day, I thought using old wooden hangers for a towel bar was very appropriate way to say "thank you" to Mother Earth.

In the upstairs bathroom, I repurposed two old wooden hangers as towel bars. By anchoring a scrap piece of dowel to the wall before the hanger was attached with 2 screws, I created a simple, yet sturdy place to hang a towel!
                                                                                   
   Notice that the metal "hook" on the hanger makes a great (and easy) place to quickly hang your towel - no excuse for wet towels on the floor! And the wooden form is a great place to add a washcloth or even a hand towel.

I love this little red dresser; so many possibilities.

LOTS OF NEW STUFF

I have oodles of new stuff in the shop; including furniture, accessories, and vintage clothes. Here are a few of my fun finds. 

DOORKNOBS, CASTERS, NUMBERS OH MY!!!

To raise new questions, new possibilities, to regard old problems from a new angle, requires creative imagination and marks real advance in science.  ~Albert Einstein     
I love, love, love this quote from Einstein.  Doorknobs, casters, and old register numbers do raise new questions and new possibilities.

I have noticed in my books and magazines that metal tins are a great way to store items that you don’t want out for everyone to see. (A scrubby pad in the kitchen, soap, matches, etc.)

"Its not what you look at that matters, it's what you see." ~Henry David Thoreau

I find beauty in objects that belonged to children.  The little dress could just hang on the wall as art.  The little wheels off a baby buggy have endless possibilities.  The doll trunk is perfect for holding makeup in the bathroom, towels or paper napkins in the kitchen.  The tractor would look great anywhere you place it.  I think it would look at home in a child's room or even a family room.

If I could save Time in a bottle

The first thing that I'd like to do

Is to save every day
