Swing


Trash to Treasure!

A Swing/Chair/Flower Basket. I had this chair forever. It was a red chair with 4 legs....then one day  two of the legs broke and  waiting for a make over. Dean tried to throw it away a couple of times.....I don't think so!

I have been dreaming of a swing and here she is. I am planning to make more as soon as I can find more chairs. 

Love playing with my camera.





Have a Beautiful rest of the Day

Ciao for now

  7. Hi Rita, this is just adorable! How dare those guys think we should throw away our "still great" things! LOL! Some of our best ideas come from trying to figure out a way to use broken things! Hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day! xoxo
