Good Morning once again my friends! Here is Part Two of todays episode of
Mission: Possible
brought to you by my bloggy friends:
When I say we I mean my group of friends:
Kelly from Eclectically Vintage
Linda from it all started with paint
Karah from the space between
Kari from Thistlewood Farm
and me!
It’s so crazy…I usually think in a more complicated manner than I should which makes projects a bit more difficult than they have to be…so I am getting the hang of this Cinch thing! I hope you enjoy this little project!
I am sure you have all seen the Anthropologie candle sticks out there…created from all kinds of thrifty finds! Well you can imagine I have a few here from our very own Junkin Joe! So I thought I would put a Cottage Chic spin on it…Turned out to be a very easy thing to do! I also have to add…you know those saucers…cupless lonely saucers…well I found yet another use for them…they became spacers in this project!
So collect some items that you would like to put together…grab some industrial strength glue and get to creating!!!
Do you have all of your trinkets?
now grab yourself some…
That’s all you need to know…but make sure the prior piece sets before you add! So here you go…
Perfect for that upcoming tea party…you can place fresh flowers in the cup…a candle…a tea light…or…? Looks fabulous on the table…on a side table…the list is endless and it is a one of a kind! One thing for sure it is a fun way to use odds and end around the house and…It’s a CINCH! Great gifts!
It’s a little bit different take than the Anthropologie sticks…
but like I said…it’s a Cottage Chic approach…I am sure you can create something that is perfect for your style…enjoy…have fun…create!!!
It’s a Cinch – Your easy peasy tips and projects
Easy is what it is all about! You know you have those projects that won’t take too long and just haven’t had the time to create them…well now’s the time!!!
We really hope you’ll join us on March 27th for our It’s a Cinch party! More about the project at the end of this post!
Grab a button from my side bar if you would like to join in on the fun!

March 19, 2012 at 1:26 pm2 It’s a Cinch projects – you are a dynamo!
Love the Anthro inspired teacups – I’ve actually been wanting to make something similar!
And I would scarf down the Nutella but my girls are allergic to tree nuts – hazelnuts are the worst!!

March 19, 2012 at 1:39 pmSo cute! And definitely a cinch! If I think too hard, I won’t be able to come up with something that’s a cinch….so I’m trying NOT to think about it so I’m ready for the 27th….hope my plan works….

March 19, 2012 at 2:05 pmAbsolutely adorable! Love this so much! Have you seen the teacup/pot lamp at anthro? So cute! You should do a lamp too…get Mr…Junkin Joe to help!!
Etcetorize says
March 19, 2012 at 2:12 pmVery pretty! Love the idea of using it as a centrepiece. I made something similar last summer and put it in the garden as a bird feeder~

CJ Foss says
March 19, 2012 at 3:59 pmLove it! Yesterday I was in Anthropologie and saw a lamp made of vintage cups and saucers and thought, “I need to make something like that for my new CREATE SPACE, craft room.” Now I know what I’ll make. Thanks for posting. ~CJ

Mimi says
March 20, 2012 at 4:37 pmI really love this idea. It would be great for the display window in my boutique flower shop. I have a lot of leftover things that would work well for this. Thanks for the inspiration!
Nancy says
March 20, 2012 at 5:40 pmLove it Andrea!!..But I know one of my kitties would manage to break it..The littlest one somehow managed to flip over my gorgeous white milk glass with ruffled edges cake stand that I got for $4.00 at a thrift shop..I told her that she was very lucky that she was so cute because that was the only thing saving her..lol

Lynnie @ Ramblings from Vintage Gal says
March 28, 2012 at 2:00 amI like yours way better than Anthropologies! Who doesn’t have some mismatched china to make something like this? I know I do and I love this idea.
May says
March 28, 2012 at 3:42 amThrifty too as you can use up pieces with missing parts that have too much charm to just toss.
Karah @ thespacebetweenblog says
March 28, 2012 at 12:09 pmAndrea!!! You have done it again, what a beautiful masterpiece that I bet looks AWESOME in your home. 🙂 I, too, over complicate things…and found cincy projects a challenge…but it was a good mindset adjustment for me.
So happy to be hosting yet another great party with you my friends. Hugs to the pets. XOXO
Sally says
March 29, 2012 at 1:43 pmI’m going to start collecting pieces to make a beautiful creation like this. I know for sure that I have 2 sets of candlesticks that go unused around here! Thanks for the inspiration!
Jeanette says
March 29, 2012 at 11:39 pmVery chic and totally shabby! I have used glue dots for a display I didn’t want permanent, and cream cheese to hold a dessert cup in the middle of a plate for serving food. Yours it too pretty to ever take apart!
Terry says
March 31, 2012 at 11:34 amGood morning Andrea – Hope you’re having a great weekend…wanted to be sure to let you know how much I appreciate your linkups for Sunday Blog Love! This was one of the most viewed projects last week and will be featured! So happy to consider you my friend…your puppies are adorable…now if we could just have a look at that hubby and maybe give him our list for things to look for when he’s out thrifting… 🙂
