Happy Monday!

I’m ready to start this week, how about you guys?

Today’s project is a junk creation that was so easy I hate to post about it.

It took me about 5 minutes to put it together.

The exciting thing about today’s post….at least for me…is the photos.

I got a new camera and lens and I love the way these pics turned out.

Please let me know what you think!

I have a thing for vintage toasters.

I don’t know why but I can’t pass them up.

I found this one at a local auction for $3.

Maybe a little pricey but I bought it anyway.

I got a few “are you nuts” looks.

Those people just couldn’t see the potential this rusty beauty has.

I oiled the knobs and the toaster with Hemp Oil then shined them up.

I added simple artificial flower stems and created this display.

The toaster works perfectly as a display for the chippy door knobs.

Who knew door knobs could double as flower “vases”.

The toaster is rusty in spots…but now it’s clean rust…and the rust just adds character Smile

Well, how do you like the project??…and what about the photos???

I’m off to class.

Have a great day!

  4. I love the way you think outside of the box Kathy. Who would’ve thought to use door knobs for mini vases – brilliant!

  6. Picture quality is the BEST and I know nothing about
    photography. I can tell a difference in these and your past pictures. Great work.

  7. I never would have thought to use them that way! I have seen people use them as drawer pulls, hangers for coats or hats, toppers on birdhouses, but never as a vase!

  9. Your little vintage toaster and doorknob vignette is just as precious and creative as can be! What a great idea, I’ve got a couple of old doorknobs like that in one of my junk bins around here. I’m going to dig them out and copy your great idea!
