V. Being creative with what is already available and turning it into something beautiful has

always inspired me to look at everything as a 'possibility to please'. Old grain sacks used to cover bolster pillows...then adding something so simple as a monogram...made beautiful from something so ordinary.

I think the French have been doing this for years...tea towels for a picnic!

I never would have thought... a stairway runner!

something that was once used to cover barrels can now be used to cover your comfy chair...

So before we get ready to toss something into the garbage...perhaps we should take another look at it. Let's look with the eyes of creativity...we just might see something lovely waiting for us to be discovered.
