Wrought iron shabbalishes candle stand

I was given this wrought iron candle stand the other day and I wanted to Shabby chic it soooo

The first thing I did was clean off all the wax I cleaned it down with a greases are oil remover.you can get spray cans of this from automotive shops.i then gave it a light sand and painted it all black.

Painted it white and added some crystals,flowers and of cause rubbed it back in places to distress it a little.

I love that it can fit back against a wall.

And these pink velvet flowers are so pretty.

Who doesn't love crystals?

Thanks for looking hope you have enjoyed looking as much as I enjoyed creating :)

Happy creating x

missy and moo custom sign

Word is getting around. I have had lots of requests for custom signs.I was given missy and moo's business card and asked if I could make her a sign for on her stall table.This is what I came up with.
