Old FAshioned Idea Week... Prim Jar Tutorial and more..

Good Friday Evening, sweet ladies..

This is my last little installment on my week of old fashioned ideas..

There were quite a few prim ideas in the notebook so I picked this one to share with you. 

I made it yesterday in the shop while I was waiting for you all to show up..

I met one today who has been reading my blog and came and looked me up..

It was nice to meet you, Tanya..

Anyway..

This is what I am calling a Prim Recipe Jar..

I think it turned out kinda neat..

You just get an old jar, jug or bottle..

Pick one up at a yard sale or thrift store..

I had this old javex jug..

Please excuse my messy desk.. grin..

You also need some old pages from a recipe book.. or song book or whatever..

I used this old one that the covers were torn off and it was pretty stained..

Then just use some white glue or modge podge and a sponge brush..

Tear out some pages or pieces of pages and with your sponge rub the glue on good and then place them on the bottle..

Rub really well so there are no bubbles.

When you have the bottle pretty well covered to suit you then just let it dry..

Today I used some brown ink (on the desk pictured above) and a piece of cloth and rubbed it all over to give it an aged look..

Then just tie a piece of homespun on it and a tag.. I tore a piece of the recipe page and modged it onto the tag, too..

You can add some sweet annie or just leave it empty..

Hope you like this prim idea..

Or if you would rather you can buy it from my shop.. grin..

Here is another wee prim idea for some of you who has a chandelier that is not quite to your liking..

This one here is in our living room here at the cottage.. We need more important things done here than a new light so Shonda took a star and pip berry garland and wrapped around it..

TaDa... a kinda sorta prim light..

Suits me for now, anyway..smile..

And last but not least again..

My lovely peppermint plant..

I planted it in an old colander..

Natural drainage with all the holes in it..

Make a tea with some fresh sprigs and then dry it and place in empty tea bags that you can buy and have for the winter..

Peppermint is really good for the digestive system..

Well, that is all for tonight ...

I think I do better when I only blog once or twice a week and not bore you all silly by posting every night.. 

As always, thanks for the visit and

to you sweet ladies who comment I want you to know how much I look forward to hearing from you.. 

Take care and God bless..
