EDITED TO ADD STACEY FROM OVER AT http://poofingthepillows.blogspot.com/ TOLD ME IT IS A TART PAN PEOPLE Whoo knew? NOT me! rofl! Thanks Stacey.....
I found this baking scallopy "thing a ma jing" (that is slang for I do not know what the heck it is) out thrifting awhile back and knew it would make the perfect bottom to a cloche. I sprayed it IN my laundry room with black spray paint....yeah I know...FUMES are NOT healthy. It is snowing here people...not prime spray painting season. The real moral here is DO NOT DISMISS the baking section in the thrift stores for decorating gadgets, you just never know. The little birdies on the bathtub were .99 ....soooo tweet. Dotcha think?
Ok...moving along... Our good friend Jean (she does not have a blog yet) who many of you know, wanted a few custom items for her new office area. I was more than happy to oblige. She wanted some initials for her new work area...in blues, creams, and yellows. She is a vintage lover as well so I embellished her letters with some vintage swiss dot fabric and old buttons. I also made her one of my little birdy plaques with a key for a wing. I just thought I would share these projects with ya before I turn in tonight...to go read "the host"..that I am now addicted too. I can hardly lay it down. I guess that is good...because to be down right honest with you...i have not felt like doing a darn thing today....I am having a "Sloth day"...I had more to share..and quite frankly I am lazy. So that is it...nuttin to exciten...but I guess better than nuttin. Yes I really do know how to spell those words. Night night and have a lovely Sunday tomorrow! XOXO, Cherry

Perfect use for a tart pan...I think that's what it was called. I donated mine!!

Debbie
It looks like it was made for that cloche!!

I love what you did with the tart pan.....terrific idea!!
Your things are so inspiring....I always tell you thiat, but I had to say it again. You are very talented my friend:)
Lisa
So creative!! And beautiful!! I just love the way you can look at something in a fresh way and make it usable and attractive again!! Great job!!
That tart pan is the perfect bottom for the cloche...I LOVE it. The eyes will be open for those at yard sales this summer!
I am in Chapter 36 of the host and I agree it is hard to put down. I wasn't sure about it at first but once I got going it is good!
All so lovely.
I'll be back later!!
Blessings,
Barbara Jean
Wow, very cool ! I never have thought to paint those "thingy ma jiggs " ! LOL
Your so clever !!
Stephanie
I totally like those letters you made!
I love the papered initials. My daughter is moving into a loft at the end of the month I think I will make two, one for her and one for her roommate. Your last post reminds me I better start making some Easter things! Everything looks so pretty.

How clever and how cute that little birdie bath is! I'm going to have to find a cloche and see what I can do with it! Yours is so pretty! I'm still looking for a bird cage too...
I love those letters and birdie plaque! AND the tags! You do such beautiful work! I love the things I create and then I see yours and see I have so much to learn!!! Beautiful!!!
Enjoy the rest of your Sunday!!!

I love the little birds in the tub-that would go GREAT at my house...
(I wouldn't know a tart pan if it hit me over the head!)
Cherry, what beautiful things. I think that's a tart pan that you turned upside down. You are very creative!
I know EXACTLY what you mean by spray painting in the laundry room. I do the exact same thing...and just about die each time. My husband has finally put his foot down to it. :) I'm dying to paint some furniture...but until this snow goes away...alas, I can't. But gosh, love the tart pan idea! And that birdie bathtub...soooo sweet!!!
Love the goods..the letters are really pretty and the birdies are adorable!! Happy Sunday~
How clever-I would never have thought to paint that tart pan and use it for a cloche. Your letters are so creative. laurie
Another creative, artistic blog posting. Those letters are so beautifully done, and would thrill anyone to have those in an office. I spray painted this week too, and I agree the fumes are quite nasty.
I just love those birds, they are so cute! Great job on the letters, they look fantastic.

Hi Cherry! I loved your post, well, I guess I love all your posts, but this one made me want to play with paper and glue! You're so good at this! Love little letters! I love your cloche and who would think of using a tart pan as the base but you! You're the most creative one!
bE a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
So cute! I think that little "bird bath" is adorable!!
Cherry what a totally fabulous idea for the bottom of your cloche! And I really love your sweet little bird bath. How cute is that! And your letters are so pretty...so creative each and every one of them. You sure haven't lost your style girlfriend. RJ
Cherry, I love your painted tart tin. Fantastic idea. I also love seeing my beautiful letters you made me. You should be proud because they are just fantastic. When I ever get finished in my office I will send you a photo of them in place.I am looking at my birdie right now hanging over my computer on a peg. Its just perfect for my office too.Have a wonderful lazy evening. You deserve it.
Love and hugs,
Jean in Virginia
I love that idea of the scalloped thing for the cloche. My mom just gave me one yesterday for Easter and I wasn't sure what to put it on.
Thanks so much cherry!
Jen
It's all so tweet! ;) Love it!
Love...Love...Love.. the tart pan idea! You are so creative. Also thanks for the offer to make the scallop edge for the pedistal plate. I have the cricut machine, what program did you use? I really enjoy visiting your blog, you are a favorite. Blessings...Sherry
What a clever girl. Yep it's a tart pan. I have one I never use. I might just copy that idea. Love all the letters.

Oh boy! More cuteness! So clever to use a tart tin. LOVE IT!
Is this J for our Jean in Virginia? What adorable creations! I am so loving all of mine that we swapped.
much love,
Becky
It just goes to show, you never know what you are going to find at thrift stores or yard sales! I love your tart pan with the cloche, and the bird is sooo cute! Thanks for sharing with all of us!
Have a great week,
Marilyn
I love, love, love the stuff you show. Would you come decorate my house for me? Pretty please. :0)
Sorry to bother you again about the cake stand. I am thinking of trying the idea for my son's graduation centerpieces. I would like to make the stand, coving it in the scrapbooking paper in his school colors then add a cloche with his senior photos in it. My question is when you did the scallop edge on your cricut machine what type of paper did you use. Did you use a chip board then cover each scallop individually? I just love the idea and I don't want to use a glass cake stand cause I think it will look to girly. I also want to make a banner for him to hang on the mantel. thanks for all your help. You're a sweetie! Blessings...Sherry
Seriously Cherry, you are so mega talented girl! I love all of your creations and things you have out as spring decs!
Happy weekend ahead hun~ Les

You do like red...so do I. I also noticed your wall color is similar to mine. I love it!
Hi Cherry~
I love your cloche on top of the tart pan! So cute! And I always love what you do with your paper crafts! By the way, I really like what you did with the two different length shelves on top of the little cupboard, then the "Spring" banner hanging from it, on your previous post. It is all so beautiful! :)
Oh girl, you are soooooo clever! What ever the thingy was, sure is now put to good use! Love you r sweet Sping banner!
Hugs,
Maryjane
I like the bath tub birds too. And I like the letter tags.
Oh, Cherry!
Everything is just beautiful, as usual! Miss Jean sure is lucky to have you, personally, make her some office pretties!
Enjoy your day off!

Oh I am so glad I found your blog I LOVE IT. I hope you don't mind but I have added you to my favs list!
I SO love coming over here...it's always a HAPPY place to visit. I love everything in this new post and...the last. Your whole Spring display is breathtaking. And I LOVE the Spring banner. Thanks for always so freely sharing all your inspiration. : )
I so remember you now! WOW you have done alot of upgrades on your site, love it! Well I am still glad I came across your blog again!
Clever and pretty! Hows your weather? Any signs of spring yet?
I didn't know they were called tart pans either :) I love how you used it under the cloche! I looked at my TJ Maxx, and none to be found. If you happen to be there and see another It's a Wonderful Life sign, I would pay you for the sign and shipping~I know you're busy though. My email is lissylee@hotmail.com
Have a good day!
Hi Cherry! You find the best stuff! I love that cloche too! and the letters are fabulous sweetie! I haven't had a lot of time lately to browse blogs, so the minute I had some I had to stop by again! I LOVE that spring banner in the post below! what talent!! I love everything you do and post about , it's such a nice inspiring place to visit!
Hugs, Cynthia
