Apron a Day Keeps the Blues Away!

Peekie & her favorite apron... A great way to re-purpose old skates....


While Gary & I were out & about today running errands and searching out hinges & knobs for the restoration of my little Mid-Century trailer, we managed to sneak in a visit to one of our favorite antique shops in Spokane.
While I could have walked out with a ton of "goodies" I showed great re-strength and only walked out with a cute apron....I do not have anything like this one in my collection, which by the way is growing like crazy. I love the pockets on this apron and so does Peek-a-boo!.
I also found these not so vintage ice skates but thought they would make a great way to display some silk flowers I had stashed away.
I am thinking about spray painting the skates in a Holiday Red color, add a lite touch of glitter & some ribbon in place of the shoe laces.... and then place Poinsettias & Holly in the skates....what do you think?

  2. Ditto.... I saw a pair of pink ice skates in one of my magazines & thought "How Cute!", I'll just put my own spin on a cleaver idea "borrowed" from a magzine.

  3. Go for some color, you are so creative they will be stunning. Adorable. Really cute suitcase, I want one. Well, I had one back in the sixties, where did I put that? Long gone, I am afraid. But I had fun decopague(sp)a sewing kit for Tracy for Christmas so I would love to do some more. Keep up the good work. Those runs to Spokane do you good! :)
