A Few Fashionable "New Uses For Old Things!"

 

I'm headed to my parent's home this Thanksgiving Day weekend in Pennsylvania to recharge, stuff my face with lots of food and start my Christmas shopping. Yipee!

You might be wondering why I would be excited to leave the Big Apple (aka Shopping Heaven) for PA-suburb shopping. Two words: Frazer Antiques.

Sure, there is some amazing retail and outlet shopping in PA which I will most certainly be taking advantage of, however, when it comes to those super special gifts--I'm more of an old fashion kind of gal and Frazer Antiques is the place for me. I love picking out the most eccentric, one-of-a-kind pieces that have history AND potential---just like pieces I purchased for myself during my last trip to the store this past spring. 

 

Check out how I turned these antique items into my own fabulous and functional treasures:

 

1. A tiered silver plated candy/cookie tray becomes-----> a home for all my bits and baubles.

 

2. A candle stick holder becomes----> a tower of blingy bangles.

 

 

My jewelry stays well organized and they are beautifully displayed on the top of my dresser. I just love looking at them...and of course rifling through them every morning for just the right finishing touch to my ensemble.

 

Have you used any items from around the house, an antique shop or yard sale in a new and exciting way?
