Chrome Wire Shelving

On Friday Menards had 5 tiered chrome wire shelving on a special 3 day sale $29.99.  I bought 4.  Saturday I put them together.  Early fall I had bought 3 of these from Aldis for $39.99 the shelves were that about the same size (smaller by 3 inches deep).  But the shelves I bought at Aldis are much heavier, they can hold more weight. 

So I knew how to put them together and it really didn't take a lot of time.  About 20 minutes per unit.

Bought 4 of them!

It looks more difficult then what it really is.  No tools needed.

This is the part that scared him..

Cowardly!!  Those metal pipes make scary sounds.

Finished.  The shelves are adjustable.  I love these!!  These 4 units hold my inventory for my store.  The other 3 that I bought in fall hold my ebay stuff.

Take a look at the right side of the photo below

Do you see the branches that I used in the arrangement is sprouting leaves??  I cut these branches from a bush in my one of my flower beds.  The bush has red bark, but I didn't want the red in my arrangement so I spray painted them white.  Well that didn't stop them from sprouting in the arrangement!! These flowers are 24 days old!!  Amazing!!

Valentine Wreath, Makeover & Shelby

Yes I spent some time with my glue gun, first time this new year.  I made over a Valentines Wreath and made a new one. 

This is the Wreath I made about 15 years ago

It was very pretty at the time, but the ribbon is wearing out and I really wanted to make a Christmas bulb Valentine wreath. so here is it

I took the old flowers and ribbons off and added white garland, pink and red balls.  I like it, however I think it lost the heart shape.  Oh well.

Shelby was watching everything I was doing.  

I had Valentine garland so I took a small foam wreath shape and I wrapped the garland around the wreath.  When I wrapped the garland a bunch of the hearts fell off so I took those glue them to 3 white balls.  Then I took the small white Christmas balls and tied them to some ribbon and then tied that to the wreath.  Isn't is cute.  I like it better then the other one that I made today. 

 

Shelby agrees
