Get your gobblers ready!

If you didn't see Erin's post here, then you're in luck because I found it so inspiring I just had to share it with you.

Just read Ashley Russell's 'about me' blog description:

I love transforming others junk into treasures. I describe my style as quirky, yet deliberate. I mix old, rusty, clean and modern. Farmhouse meets mod, yet blending effortlessly. I'm always involved in a creative project for a friend or myself. I create edgy, amazing looks on a shoe-string. Give me ugly items with no or little value, and I will transform them into items you'll treasure. THIS IS MY PASSION!

The photographer is Shanna Michelle and her blog is here. Both ladies have totally blown me away with the styling and the images.

Check it out:

Vintage turkey images glued to charger plates she found at a thrift store.
This light burlap tablecloth has totally inspired me. This would be a great every day solution for my dark wood table. As Ashley was sewing the pieces together for her holiday tablecloth she realized that the underside was a bit more fun than the finished edges. Fray the underside edges a bit and wow~ a totally unexpected and chic solution. If you go to Ashley's blog {here} you can watch her tutorial on making many of these things for her holiday table. The acorn centerpiece was a 2x4 piece of scrap wood which she glued paper to the outside of(weathered paint background), adding the moss and acorns to the top.

She also shows how she made this lamp shade cover out of burlap scraps.

Cute vintage Thanksgiving postcards and paper are from the Graphics Fairy.

Well I'm off to try to replicate some of this myself.

Happy short week to everyone!
