Chestnuts, Candles, and Headbands. Oh My!

March 17, 2009

Dearest World,

I have a problem, I get about 5 ideas in my head at once and instead of tackling them each one at a time I got nuts and do them all at once. I also have the tendency to buy things with no purpose in hopes that one day I’ll find something to do with them. Well, thats basically what this post is about. Every item I’m writing about today has been sitting in my room staring at me for at least a few weeks.

First up we’ve got Chestnut Necklaces. I bought these Chestnuts possibly two months ago and they have literally been sitting in my room with no purpose. I have no idea why I even bought them but I just had to have them. A few days ago a lightning storm went off in my head and I thought NECKLACES!!!

Second we’ve got candles which I re-melted from old candles and replaced them in these adorable jars. I bought them at Michaels for $1!! I saw them and thought, well these would be cute to put candles in. It only took me about a month to actually make them!

Last but not least I made these gorgeous headbands. I had bought these two “gem” thingies at a church flea market. I saw the gems and thought wow, you know these would look nice on a headband with some feathers. It only took me a month to actually make them!
