Magazine Stand Redo Starring The World Map!


 For a quick post today, I thought I would share the unusual round magazine holder I redid yesterday.  The holder was wood tone, with a gold fleur de lis, which I thought was kind of cool, but it sat in the shop for several years without finding a home.

I am hoping that a coat of paint and some decoupage might change that.

As you can see I printed this world map off in sections.




 I actually used the same method with a larger version of the same map a couple of years ago.  Here is my post about doing a multi section print for decoupaging. 
I distressed the new paint as the finishing touch, and I am quite happy with how it turned out.  I am actually listing it today on the Reclaim_ologists Instagram page Instasale!  Wish it well!!

The Steampunk Robot Family

 Meet Bop, the bell hop ... don't you love the bell on his cap?  Me too .... Let me tell you how Bop came into my life ...
 Once upon a time, Mr. P and two of my sons, Son B and Son S ... ran in a 5k called, 'Hale Freezes Over' ... a benefit for our local community theater ...  The Hale Center Theater ... After the race ... in which my husband took first in his age group (Although it was a very old age group :-))  ... they had a drawing with lots of fun prizes ...


When he won Bop ... he was very happy because he knew his wife would love Bop ...
 Because Bop was made by the artist that made the robots above, robots that sold at flea.o.logy a couple of summers ago...  In fact the elegant lady to the far right, stayed at the flea.o.logy house when all of her robo friends went home ...


Though I did buy another robot at the following flea.o.logy, it was a childbot, riding in a fantastic space vehicle ...  so our elegant lady was still pretty much alone with not one to talk too ... now she has Bop, but unfortunately she cant't talk to him anyway ... because ... well, neither of them have mouths ...  :-(  Don't you think she looks like an opera singer?  You know with the wings and the breast plate looking thing?  I like to imagine she is world famous, on some other world, and she goes to a new hotel every week as her opera travels ... and then she falls for the kind Bell Hop, Bop ... ah such a lovely love story!



The artist who created this little family and many others is Penny Jones, Penny just happens to also be the scenery painter at the Hale Center theater.  I just can't believe my luck in having my husband win Bop in the drawing.  Really, what are the chances?

Wishing You a Junky Christmas!

Today I just wanted to share some of the vintage reinventions I saw at the Fleattitude sale this past weekend

This cool joy sign with the 'cut your own tree ' sign is by Jennine who does fleaology under the name LeJunk!

The great wreath made with spools of thread is by Jenn of Fleattitude fame.

The great Christmas socking and even greater terrarium are by Brandon of Two Pits of a Pear, another fleaology dealer.
he also did the cool 25 above.

Possibly my favorite reinvention is this toy junk wreath by Jenn.


More vintage Christmas fun.

This fun reinvented mantel is also by Brandon.



More goodies.
                                    And a Merry junky Christmas to all.  And to all a good night!
