I am just back from a wonderful Summer vacation, road tripping up the coast of California. At every beach the short one collected shells. Now back home I thought “okay so what do I do with the shells now?” I remembered I still had an Ester basket around that I had been meaning to re-purpose. So I grabbed the basket and spray painted it aqua blue, and then wrapped it with a band of lawn chair webbing. I cut shells and the phrase “Sun, Sand, Sea” out of sand colored paper using my Cricut and the Creative Memories Travelers Cartridge*. I attached the paper to the front of the basket, loaded in the shells and boom – a perfect Summer memory basket.
Happy crafting xoxo. Follow me on Twitter I am Lab5.

I picked up these cute zebra print ballet flats at Old Navy knowing I hated the bows on the toes and that I would cut them off the minute I got home. I did just that and then took black T-Shirt Yarn and created 2 inch rosettes to replace the juvenile bows. Now I am just in love with these little numbers.

How many times have you walked past an ugly apron at a thrift store or a yard sale? Well check this out as a way to rock an old one and make it pop. Adding touches of embroidery is easy. This camping embroidery idea came from Jenny Hart’s Sublime Stitching collection. I just drew it myself though instead of going through the ironing steps – each to his own though. I am headed off for a Summer camping trip and made an apron for the trip.

A plain tank top can be super boring, so why not spice it up a bit? Take a simple solid color cotton tank, chop it up, add some new fabric, like this hot pink wood grain, and boom you have a new styling piece to wear that is one of a kind.

When shopping estate sales and auctions it can be tempting to scoop up vintage jewelry such as brooches or pins for a steal. They are so easy to find and collect you can suddenly acquire a stash of them, then what? They can look pretty amazing when you load them all on at once.
For ideas on how to wear ten to twenty vintage pins at once read my piece at the Phoenix New Times Jackalope Ranch blog: A Collection of Vintage Pins, Restyled
