Looky What I Got!!!!

I think I hit the mother lode! Look at all these neat table legs and spindles. Now I gotta figure out what to do with them. Of course I am open to some suggestions from you talented people.

wow. You can make yard angels, paint different colors like missmaggie did for a fence, use them on sides of mirrors. I can go on but will leave it to others to post items and pics.

Wow, oh Wow, you certainly did hit the jackpot. On the "Trash to Treasure" forum there is a gal, Margo, who does some wonderful things with spindles, etc. Here's a link to her site: (copy & paste).

Thank you everyone. I knew I'd gotten something else, it was a piece of type,not sure what it's called,but it has a photo of a woman on it that would have been used for a newspaper,and her name is written on the back,along with the word 'discard'. I need a magnifying glass to look at the name,but the first name is Helen.An interesting piece for .50,I'll put it in my old printers tray with my other small goodies. You noticed the magnolia Nona :) It's from the tree in the back yard near the deck,it split in half in the big storm ,but it's doing well now. It's a magnolia grandiflora, southern magnolia,we have a few different kinds,pyramid and the cucumber among others.

That is a great shed! Years ago, I asked my dad to build me an outhouse-type tool shed, complete with moon cutout on the door. He built it and it was the exact thing I designed, but he liked it so much that he kept it.

I am not at all surprised that Nancy packed such a perfect gift box, she has a knack of know what people would like. I love that batter bowl, I know that Nancy has access to local craftsmen and artists, so I'm not surprised she found such a beautiful gift. No one can have too many cookbooks, of course, and I've never had a bad product from American Spoon Food. I've got to admit, though, the maple cream is my absolute favorite on a warm scone for breakfast. Karen, I just know that you are enjoying every bit of that package. Nancy, you did a great job. Annie

You are a lucky gal! I remember one neat project at Robo Margo's site where someone made a valence out of different table legs and spindles. It was very cool.

Count me in as being totally jealous!!! I see some wonderful projects in there. I really like the angels made from spindles and such. Someone got a Secret Santa gift that was an angel. Look over on the conversation side under Secret Santa gifts. Please ...We want to see everything you make!!!!

Also someone made dragonflies from the skinnier spindles, like the ones that come off chairs. Someone made plant hangers which I copied*smile* I believe that was sewigardnut, and birdfeeders by glueing cups and saucers to the tops. And you got a headboard there? Gonna make a bed bench?? Margo cut spindles in half and decorates things with them that way,too. Check her out for dozens of ideas.These are some of the things I made from spindles.

Yes I did get a twin headboard and plan to do a bench for my deck with it. I have to do everything inside since we are having rain and I don't have a garage. Kudzu I plan on doing some copying myself....*grin* Thanks for your nice photos, your stuff is great!
