Good old rusty bed springs and cute little jelly jars combined... make awesome candle holders...
Come over some evening and have a drink with us!
You won't have to sit in those chairs without cushions.....
......I'm having oilcloth cushions made.
YAY!
Bought my oilcloth from Sharon & Marvin Camp at Canton First Monday~
click on Sunshine Fabrics...
Sharon and Marvin provided a map of the Canton grounds/Marketplace....good to know. Print it out.
They are located in the Original Pavilion III (Near Mayor's Inn)
Go see them this week at First Monday...
they have the best oilcloth and fabric!!
I'd actually love to review these boxes on my shopping/lifestyle blog. i wonder if they'd send me a sample box to talk about?

Old glass insulators turned upside down in those springs hold a tea light perfectly!
That's what I did with mine and they look so cute on my back porch.

I love the rusty bed spring candle holders! What a great idea. Your patio is so nice, I always love seeing it.

What a great idea. I have old bed springs, and that would be a great use for it.

I just love your bed spring candle holders. I must make some!!! For those that are looking for bed springs, Sometimes your thrift shops will get bed mattress in and just throw them away. So if you go in and give them your name alot of times you can get them free. You can probably get 75 springs per mattress. Happy Hunting!!! Thanks again Tina for sharing!!!

Hi Tina~ I've had the old bed springs on my
back porch for a couple of years. They are
hanging on the crock that is holding flowers
and the springs hold napkins. I also have a
cushion on the front porch that I made out of oil cloth and stuffed it with WM bags so
the weather would not hurt it. It's been out
there for about 3 years and still looks good. I just wash it off. I buy oil cloth
from Sunshine Fabrics every year. I love
their selection. I just bought some red and
white check to make some cushions for the back porch. I love your candle holders so
you know I'll have to make some out of my
springs I have left. Then I'll have napkin
holders and candle holders. Gosh I'm just
a true junker...:) Can't wait to see your
cushions. Hurry up please!!!":O)

Oh my God Tina....how cute is that!?! I LOVE them! Don't tempt me as far as coming over for a drink goes. I'd be right over, if I didn't live in Wisconsin.

Hey Tina! What a cute idea....I have a question about your ferns. They look amazing.....mine are not so amazing. I remember a post from you about the Fish fertilizer and I have to admit I did start with it but not have been keeping up with fertilizing. What do you do? Mine look like they are about to die....burnt looking and such. They are in the shade...and i do water reg. Anyway,would love any ideas you have. Have a Great Day! Blessings,Nicole

OH MY! The idea about the bed springs is meant to be! Hooray! I just found a rusty old bed spring on a piece of my parent's land in an old loft of a barn and had no idea what I could do with it. I was sad that the headboard was gone.......but this has renewed my faith in it! YAY! Thank you for sharing....
