kitchen rake

I went to my hometown of Eden, Texas this weekend.  I leisurely stopped at every antique shop and garage sale that I saw until I ran out of money!  I have seen a rake head like this used for various things.  I love this to just display vintage kitchen things!  Looks great in my kitchen.

Plastic jack-o-lantern creations

My great painting  friends in Amarillo inspired me to decoupage and decorate these plastic Halloween buckets ($1 at Walmart)!  The scarecrow is covered in brown paper bags and patches of burlap,  The Chef is covered in a 1948 cookbook.  The owl is a worldly owl, covered in maps.  The nose and mouth of the chef and the circles around the owl's eyes were molded with KwikWood.  That stuff always amazes me!  Just a little glue and a little imagination and these creations were created.  I hope these inspire you to create your own!
