Never heard of bendable moldings even at my age (74) ....You have given me so many ideas for refurbishing some of my old pieces. Thinking, if it doesn't work out, well, what did it coast me, almost nothing. Thank you so much for the information. Every video, I learn something new.......

Hi Linda, I love your story telling here. Can you do a video of all the paints you used and other products to enhance your finds from the thrift stores. Your very luck in those finds. We have them here but no more discount days at the good will. That ended last summer. Seem like the prices keep increasing and everyone is frequenting them. Anotherwords it’s hard to find treasures. Have a great night.

I love your ideas, & mirrors. I etched an old unframed mirror with an oak leaf wreath & a bee in the center. It’s beautiful leaning against a tree in a garden bed. I’ve also used another brand of silicone moulds with paper clay on painted terracotta pots for house plants. Thanks for the beautiful inspiration!

I like your videos I enjoy seeing your decor ,I wanted a full length Trumeau mirror ,My husband got a cheap plain mirror from the thrift shop ,I got him to add it to a longer piece of scrap wood ,he then added a wood fram all around the edges ,I had some plastic Christmas decorations that looked like appliqués ,I glued a plaque onto the top of the wood then glued the appliqués them on to the top in a pattern ,All the wood was painted white ,I dry brushed gold paint around the frame and appliqués ,The cost was $7 for the mirror ,I love doing this type of thing ,Looking forward to your next video x

The music at the end...I think it is Lilies of Galilea. Are you playing the piano?
@stonecottageadventures304 Жыл бұрын
The music is from Gluck's Orpheus and Euridice. It's a simplfied snippet from Dance of the Blessed Spirits that I can easily play without too many stumbles!
@maryoleary2037 Жыл бұрын
@@stonecottageadventures304 Thanks, that piece is often played on the flute. I have it stuck in my head as Lilies of Galilee with words, but I can't find it anywhere with lyrics. I too play the piano.
