| While reading the latest issue of Somerset Life I noticed that Stampington has a blog.....who knew? I sure didn't so I popped on over to check it out and I'm so glad I did. The talented Vanessa Spencer has made over an old crate....and I fell in love with it! I went out yesterday determined to find my own crate. Hers was a gift from a friend ($6) at Goodwill. I went to a favorite haunt of mine that carries a lot of crates....hoping, hoping that I could find one that was affordable. |
 |
| Mine was $10, not too shabby, right? My favorite part is all the cubbies! |
 |
| I love the Pepsi markings on the side and want those to peek through....Vanessa used watered down gesso, so that's what I'm gonna use too.... |
 |
| I may try to hammer in a few of my nails a bit better and clean mine up some more (it looks like it came out of an old barn, it had hay in it!) |
 |
| I'll be sure to post my finished product when I'm through decorating it up....! In the meantime, treat yourself and go check out Stampington's newish blog....very fun indeed! |

Oh - that´s a wonderful project. I have been looking for one of those over here for a long time - haven´t had any luck soo far. cross my fingers for this flea market season
I thought that was a great idea too and looks so pretty. Can you imagine a few of those hung on the wall? I hope you share yours when it's finished.
xo,

oh can't wait to see what you do with yours.
Those crates are hard to find here and come with a pricey tag when you do.
I have a project going where I need about 9 of them...I need to hit a flea back home to find them at the $6 price, lol
here they are about 29 up to 45 dollars ;(

yes..they have a blog and I saw that project and fell in love with it too! i can;t wait to see how you've transformed YOURS. wow..you were lucky to find that crate for only 10.00!
Oh you will have fun Gail, I just know it. I've never seen a crate like this, ever!
So, Amy must bring me one back with her.
love this idea Gail, pretty and useful in your studio. Any hint on where I might pick up one of those crates?

I have a crate that I use when I do my show...I fill the cubbies with tangled up twine or shredded paper and place my jewelry (mounted on cards) in them. It never fails to draw a crowd--people just can't help but wonder what those little cubbies are holding!!
I love the way the cubbies have grooved sides and are not straight. Very cool.
