diy idea | 20 Minute Lampshade Redo

I think I have an addiction to lamp shades. No really, I have way too many! So when a customer recently bought the lampshade off of one of my lamps I went digging in my stash for a replacement. I found the perfect one but sadly it had some light streaks around it making it very unattractive.

Of course they is no way I would throw it out so I started looking around my stash of craft supplies for a solution. And then I saw it...a Sharpie! Yes indeed you read right, a good old fashioned black felt tip Sharpie marker.

Took a few practice runs on a piece of paper before committing my elementary school style cursive writing to the shade and then went to town repeating some bible quotes around and around and around until it looked the way I wanted.

The slanted pattern I used covered over most of the little flaws just prefectly! The style varied based on the amount of pressure I put on the pen while writing and the marker did bleed if I slowed down or stopped in one place. Either way I really like how it turned out and it took just a mere 15-20 minutes.

One shade down, many to go...

inspired by | Saffron and Genevieve

Don't you just love this display done with antique drawers!?!

It's like shadow boxes,

but way cooler...

That's just a hint of the creative inspiration from Saffron and Genevieve.

giveaway | Seven Ways to Win {day7}

Have I mentioned before that I'm a bit absent minded at times?
I now must confess that I accidentally posted the wrong ending date for the
Seven Ways to Win giveaway on a rather large site...oops!

So you are going to have to wait a whole two more days before I draw the winners.

Yes, I know I'm killing you with the suspense but maybe I can make it up to you...

How about a double giveaway today?!?
Would you like to shop the Classic Farmhouse with a $30 credit in your pocket?!?
Wouldn't it be better though if it was $60?!?

Yup that's the prize...we are giving away not one, but two $30 gift certificates to the Classic Farmhouse online and/or brick and mortar store. You will be entered in the drawing twice so you have the chance to win one or even both of the credits.
Cross your fingers that you'll get lucky times two...

If you missed out on any of the past giveaways you still can enter by clicking on any of the images below.
going back a day or two and checking out the past posts.
Blogger won't let me fix the links right now...sorry for the trouble, I'll try to fix it again later.

Today's giveaway is another piece of upcycled jewelry!
I love turning old things into something useful and pretty as I'm sure you can tell by now.
But instead of an old domino we've got a chunky antique silver key on a 20" chain up for grabs.

So fun to mix and match these pieces with other jewelry!
If you aren't the lucky winner we will have a new batch of these in store soon.

I'm excited about today's giveaway as it's not only something I myself would love to win
(yes I know it's not right for me to enter my own giveaway)

Have you heard of Scentsy?
It's a great line of warmers, wax scents, room sprays and more
that the Classic Farmhosue is now proud to offer to our customers! 

I am partnering with Julie Yadon, a Scentsy Consultant, in providing this product to you.
I have known Julie for quite some time now and I believe you will find her to be as
 genuine, helpful and pleasant to do business with as I do.

We currently have a small variety of Scentsy warmers as well as
wax refills in a plethra of scents available to be purchased in store.
You can then place orders through the store or through Julie direct for any prodcut we do not have available. And if you're familiar with Scentsy at all, you know the choices are endless!

Now on to the giveaway prize...

To kick things off Julie generously offered to give away a plug in Scentsy warmer!
