Recycled to Sit & Relax!


Finding a place to sit in your garden
can be just as important as creating your garden!  It's so rewarding to be able to finally sit back and enjoy all the outdoor work you've done.

   In my garden. I have numerous places to sit and enjoy watching or listening to the nature around me. I just love grabbing a cup of coffee or tea and taking a breather from the kids or just life in general.

Finding that perfect seat for relaxing outdoors can sometimes be a challenge. In search for my own comfortable outdoor chair, I thought I would share a few that caught my eye!


These beautiful, colorful, and very practical folding chairs
come in a variety of beautiful colors to choose from.
This gorgeous color, is Paradise Paprika Orange, and the chair above is Blue Fish! Be creative and purchase several chairs in a rainbow of colors, such as Asparagus Green, Tuscan Yellow, Paradise Paprika Orange, or Cranberry, just to name a few colors available.

I love the idea that they can be closed up and easily stored away for the winter months or put in your car to bring with you anywhere. They seem to have a lot of versatility which I like in a piece of outdoor furniture.  All the wood used to create these clever handcrafted chairs is made with strong recycled cedar decking lumber. They also offer a nice assortment of garden furniture and art.
 Great for the environment!


If you would like to visit any of these shops on Etsy,
 just click on the link below each picture.





Barn Wood Adirondack Chairs created by newberry on Etsy



These beautiful Adirondack Chairs
 would be relaxing in any yard! They have been created from old growth cypress and recycled barn wood.  Their contoured backs, and curved fronts, add comfort for your back and behind your knees!
  I think I hear them calling my name!!

Their shop also handcrafts other pieces of outdoor furniture and
beautiful kitchen accessories that would complement any outdoor gathering.

  I know a lot of skiers that would just love to bring their favorite winter sport, right on to their summer lawns or porches with these creative chairs! 

 Old skis from the 1970's to current, are recycled into these fun outdoor chairs. Their frames are made from red cedar with a protective finish - perfect for years of enjoyment! They also create these adorable ski chairs for children (I think they would be great even to put in their rooms!) - what an awesome gift!

I hope you enjoyed this weeks selection of garden items!
Have a great weekend!

A New Collection Just in Time For Valentine's Day!


Framed Recycled Soda Pop Hearts

BEAUTIFUL- FUN - RECYCLED - HEARTS!

I created this bright & colorful collection of hearts with recycled soda pop cans!
Inspired by my wine charms called Recycled 2 Party, I began to put these little hearts to work to create this fun collection of art for the wall or table top. I just love using the wonderful colors and patterns of the soda cans and have used them in many of my creations!
Wine charms, bird houses, boxes, jewelry and now art!



They have been cut, washed, & mounted with raised tabs on acid free card stock. Each heart is unique--creating a truly one-of-kind piece of art!



Colors Black, Red, Silver, Gold, & White Combine TogethPiece of Art!er  to Create This One of a Kind Piece of Art!

I can customize this art work with any size frame, colors, favorite drinks, or mat board to create the perfect piece for you!

One-of-a-kind Holiday Gifts! Part 2 of 4




I love to recycle items into my artwork, and just like the little Carolina Wren on my logo, I am a scavenger at heart!

Attracted by the colorful shiny aluminum soda cans, I began incorporating them into my bird houses after helping my children with a recycling project at their elementary school. This birdhouse below is the only one I have left from last spring, but I hope to have many more by March, just in time for this spring!



Do you have a favorite drink you would like to see used on a birdhouse? Just let me know!

These unique & fun wine charms can be made in any color combination to represent a favorite team or College.  This set was created to represent Penn State's Colors.
Perfect for the sports lover or college alumni, stocking stuffer or grab bag gift! 
Just contact me with your colors and I will be happy to create them for you.
Sets can also be larger if needed

Holiday Parties: Greens, reds & golds create sets for Christmas. 
Blue, silver and white for Hanukkah!  Think how unique they would be at your holiday party. Or bring them as a hostess gift!

In love? How about these cute heart wine charms! Have them made in your wedding colors. Great Bridal shower gift, stocking stuffer. Possibilities are endless!


These can also be used on coffee cups to keep everyones cup identified. Perfect for the work place, household, or group get togethers such as bible studies, book clubs etc.


Do you know someone that works for a company that creates drinks in a can, or sells drinks labeled with their store logo such as Shoprite? I can create a unique set just for them or a co worker. I created this set below using the shoprite soda cans.



These are so much fun to make! The colors and patterns are endless! Pick a set from my Artfire Shop; http://www.tkdesigns.artfire.com/ ,
