Wishing Tree

 

Today we went to Izmir for our monthly flea market visit and came across this wishing tree.



You knot a piece of cloth to the tree and make a wish, how colorful the tree has become :)



I'm not superstitious or religious but I do love these kind of folk things, as they are directly connected to nature.



Are there wishing trees in your country? Would you have made a wish?

Our Creative Space...


It has been a while since the last furniture piece. They always take a lot of time and space. But this one was so much fun. The colors makes one instantly cheerful :)


The starting point was an old coffee table which was a yucky brown. I sandblasted it to remove all its old paint. We then picked a vintage embroidery and I choose the paint color according to that.

 

Everything is super colorful, yet it has depth thanks to the black.



As both the furniture and embroidery are vintage this is an absolute one of a kind.

USA Trip: More Treasures!

 

My third and final post of our USA trips treasures! We brought back 15 suitcases with also personal items and still things that I'm going to use to make other things.

These table lamp bases had no shades, I spent about 60 hours creating the lampshades out of soldered limpet shells, you can see how I did that on Instagram and they are available here.


This vintage frame had a broken mirror and the roses were the same color, I painted them to make them pop and it got a new mirror. Floral Wall Mirror, Vintage Rose and Leaves Mirror, Tole Mirror, 1980's
