The famous stylised lily, the Fleur Di Lis design in chunky gold metal curtain ends. I have to do something with them. We don't have curtains in the house (we have internal shutters) so using them for what they were intended will not be on the cards. It's all about recycling and repurposing, right!!
Initially, I thought I would get the backs cut off and use them as bookends but I think I am looking for something more stunning, now that bookends sound the obvious and a tad boring to me, so I am hoping all my creative blogging friends will have some ideas. Heeeelp! I haven't come up with anything else yet. Oh and they cost $2 for the five of them at the charity store.
Pieces of cotton gingham I picked up for $1 at the Chandler Market on Sunday.
A French blue enamel ladle also from Chandler Market for $3.00.
I am linking once again with Thrifty Tuesday Finds with Anna at Cornflake
Have a wonderful Tuesday!

Great finds! I love the fleur de Lis, I'm guessing they would be too heavy to use as handles for drawers or if they are too heavy could be used as a fancy doorstop? They are beautiful so I hope you find a use for them! :) x
Oh Pam, love the curtain ends! The Fleur Di Lis would look great as hooks along the wall for perhaps your jewellery in a bedroom or to put in the kitchen for aprons or
in the hall for coats etc? Jeneieve's idea is great too.
I've just added a linky tool (wasn't sure if people wanted to keep playing along) so you can add your post today if you like :-)
Repurposing all the way!

Hi Pam...

I cannot even THINK what to do with them..
Great help I am...NOT!!!
