[@charlotted6247]

I love the way you use vintage dishes. They're beautiful. That's a great way to enjoy them and they're functional. So creative. The terrarium is gorgeous. Freda may not be my style but what a creative way to transform the tray.

[@CozyJunkStudio]

Thank you so very much, yes they are useful which I love too! Thank you for the wonderful comment.

[@katiewhiston5864]

Great homage to Freda! I loved watching you play around with matching up bases with dishes and bowls. It is interesting to see how we put things together. I would have it a little different on some but they turned out great!

[@CozyJunkStudio]

Thank you and yes this comment is what I love! I love that you would have used different bases based on watching me pick out what I used, I love it! Thank you so much for sharing and for watching!

The Frida tray was spot on, as well as all the other projects! I'm having a hard time deciding which was my favorite. Every project was put together with items that look like they were made for each other. Those kind of projects make my heart happy when that happens for me.

Thank you! I have a blog that I started years ago and it was initially about scrapbooking, but then transitioned to repurposing and junking, so the name still fit, but my hubby would just say I'm under a pile crap. LOL

Just out of curiosity, do you pronounce your name "Tanya", "Tonya" or with the "J" sound, meaning "Tan-ja"? The reason I'm asking is because my name is spelled the same way, but it's pronounced "Tonya", which isn't very common 😊

Trays are one of my fave things to redo! I get a set of 5 very large unfinished wooden nesting trays on Amazon from anywhere from $14-20 depending on the day 🤪 the largest one is like 10"x16" so they are ALL great sizes and my fave thing to do is paint them, distress them, then use roycycled paper or transfers... You did a beautiful job on ALL of these and you're so dang creative!

I love all of your work. You have given me so many ideas and different ways to get the look I want. I have a beautiful tray that's huge. I don't know the age of it. My mom inherited it along with other beautiful treasures. It's black with roses and other flowers on it in the center. It's very ornate, so lots of curves and other raised designs that would be beautiful with the wax rub. Thanks so much. I've had the tray in my building since my mama passed away 34 years ago. Just didn't know what to do with it until I watched some of your videos.

Hello Sharon! Thank you so much for sharing mom's tray with me! Enjoy making it your own!!

I love how you mix product brands and all your marriages of your found peices. Also, i had painted the top of my paint lids to match paint colors in the jars but putting similiar paint colors on paper seems to be more efficient way to visualize grouping colors together.
