Glass and Gorilla Glue

I don't even know why I do this!

Really, I am not very good at it. . .

I mean, my blog can't even compare to some

of the other blogs out there in Bloggerville.

And the talent that is on the other bloggs is incredible.

I feel like I am the lost soul looking in through the window

at all these bright, charming, talented other people.

I enter all these blog linky parties

just hoping I will be accepted by the

in crowd of Bloggerville.

My ideas are old-fashioned,

My presentation lacks luster and pazazz.

My photo shots are crappy

I don't know how to take good pictures

and a good photo shows off you project.

Oh darn! I am having a pitty party!

But, the show must go on

I am committed to this blog and the people that do

take the time to visit.

So, I will pull my boot straps up and wade through my

self pitty and I will try to make the best of it.

I have decided I am not a "Treasure Finder"

I am an old JUNKER.

Ya, that is what it is called. . . . .

Doesn't sound very good

but it is true.

I am admitting it I am

Just an Old Junker

Some of the junk I like to find are pieces of glass

candy dishes, plates, bowls, cloche's and candle sticks.

Then . . . . . .

I use my new found love. . . . well I have always loved it.

GORILLA GLUE!
I glue the candle stick to the candy dish. . . .

I weigh it down with something heavy, (a book is good)
wait about 15 minutes.
and I have a new found creative object.

You can put candy and treats right in the dish,
there is no "toxic" glue that touches the inside.
I think the dish has an elegant look to it.
Something different and unique.



Even things I already have, I have added a pedestal to it.
My Aunt gave me the dried flowers in the jar,
It wasn't something I really cared about,
But once I raised it up on the pedestal
It gave it a new, more elegant look


I find the glass at my favorite thrift store DI.
I can always find plenty of candle holders and glass bowels
It is sometimes hard to find the ones with lids on them.
Those are the ones I like
I use my favorite glue, Gorilla Glue
and I have something that looks
unique and different.


I will soon be showing you the rest of my shelf
and the grouping around the shelf. . . . . .

I just hope you will all be patient with me
as I learn how to live in Bloggerville.
And I hope I can lean how to deliver my things the way
so many of you do.
My heart is in this. . . . . .
I love seeing all the other bloggs
and the great ideas and projects out there
I want to do so many of them.
I guess everything takes time.
And I know that probably better than most.
