Did I have a fun time last night. After seeing a pair of altered skates on www.antiquesinoldtown.blogspot.com, I had to go make some too! They had their Holiday Open house pictures on their blog. I always enlarge the pictures because their is so much beautiful eye candy. I love the ideas and no doubt that is one of my favorite blogs. I went to the Goodwill last night and picked out the oldest (vintage) skates I could find. I found one vintage pair. The eyelets to lace the skates were even rusty and chippy...so perfect. The other pair were newer, but in rough shape. Out with the lace and odds and ends and away I went. These are what transpired! I also have been working on pink sweater trees. My pictures don't do them justice as they are all glittered and you can't tell on my pics. Hoping you have a week of inspired creativity!
Awwwwww... I just love the skates!! I have never seen vintage skates done up with lace!! I Love Them!! What a great job!

The skates and trees are great! I may have to get my skates from the attic and dress them up a bit. Glad our show inspired you and hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving! Martha
