  3. holy crap! these are so creative. I absolutely love almost every single one of these things. I would have never thought to do any of that. It's genius.I like the table, jewelry, buttons, and drawer knobs the best! I just got into sewing so I don't have any of those great old spools around but I bet I could get my hands on some at thrift stores and yard sales.

  5. The stitched spools made me sigh with admiration but my arthritic fingers piped up and warned, "Walk away now!" Still, I hopped over to Susan Lenz's blog and made a title suggestion for her installation as she'd requested.

    Another great curation, Laura Beth. Thanks for the inspiration!
