Very bad habit of mine: a drawer full of wooden candlesticks bought at resale shops: below are some of my projects this week for the booth at the local antique mall~~
filling in the tops with Rock Hard so that I can screw or glue for a flat surface when I add plates, pans, etc~~
This one I so love the best~~a little distressed aqua with black/white and an old cake pan for the top~~
~~This little one has a small container with lid~~cute to hold desk supplies~~
The china plate very secure with E6000 glue~~
Now~~here's those cheese servers~~you see these all the time I'm sure at the resale shops; after painting them up as "cloches", they sell very well for me at the shop~~
Here's the "before"~~
A little white paint, stencil and distressing~~
Here's one with the bottom wooden part of the cheese server screwed onto a taller candlestick~~painted white, stencil, distressed~~
So simple I know~~these always sell quickly and make nice fillers at the shop; takes little time to put together.
Have a great week and see you at these parties~~

Love, Love your ideas....thanks for sharing....I am always looking for new things for my shop also!
Wow, I love ALL of these, what great inspiration. I'm going to look at boring old wooden candlesticks in a whole new way !
Thanks for sharing. x
So many charming ideas you have here...I could feature you every week:) Thanks for coming to my partyand i better get back to work painting.
Blessings,

You have been one busy lady with all this cutest!!! I love everything. If they don't sell email me and I'll send you my address....LOL Thanks for the inspiration and have a wonderful day, Gail
Love all of these and the cheese server with the numbers is gorgeous! Wow!!
Very cute ideas! Love them all.
Adorable cheese servers and the clock is really cute with the bird display in it. Fun ideas.
Ok. Would you please tell me what Rock Hard is? You don't want to know what popped up when I put that in a search engine! Everything looks really nice that you've done!♥♫
these are charming...I too have made pedestals out of candlesticks - love your idea of filling in the candlestick hole with rock hard- I'll have to try that!
LOL---this is to Marilyn--sooo sorry for that one! Rock Hard is a powder substance that you add water to and it hardens fast like wood/plaster mixed. You can find it at any major hardware store such as Lowe's or Menard's. Thanks for the smile;)
Very nice ideas!
I always enjoy a visit here, you have the best ideas!
Thanks for the answer to the material you used. Glad I could make you and maybe a few other people laugh!!♥♫
I love your cheese server cloches! Especially the one with the distressed clock on it, instant LOVE!!
I want to make that one.
Have a wonderful week,
Hugs, Cindy
I can see why the cheese servers fly out of your shop, just lovely!
Love the clock idea!!
I love all your ideas!...especially the last two!
Blessings, Joanne
Very creative refurbishing ideas! Your repurposed items are all so pretty!
Where or how did you get/do those stencils? This is the part that seems beyond me in repurpose projects.
To Joyce: I buy most of my stencils off of Etsy (and my sidebar hosts a stencil company too that I dearly love)--sometimes Hobby Lobby has some unique stencils and the prices are inexpensive (i like that). Thank you for being here!
Just beautiful. My favorites are the cake pan and the clock face!
Very pretty vignettes :0)
Thanks so much for taking the time to share at Pin'Inspiration Thursday. Hope to see you on Saturday to help "Beat the Winter Blues". Have an awesome day.
These are so pretty, thanks for sharing this great idea!
