Altered vintage clay pots ..

 

 

 

This is a really cool piece..it is an Antique fishing tackle box 

when I got it.. it was in pretty bad shape I had to re-glue alot 

of the leather back into shape and scrub it clean I love that it has so many separate little sections inside and it even

 still has the key!

 

 

 

These will be pillows real soon ...

 

 This one will be framed in a beautiful vintage frame...

Clay Pots ...

But now, O Lord, You are our Father; 

We are the clay, and You our potter;  

and all we are the work of Your hand.

Isaiah 64:8

Good Morning Glories !
I was so happy and blessed to win the bid (a whole 2 dollars) last week at my favorite auction on a huge lot of some old clay pots and *Bonus* they came in an antique Pepsi crate Yippppeee!

 I had been looking every where trying to find a few old clay pots ...I had seen some really adorable ideas (via~ Pinterest of course) on how to alter them and I so badly wanted to give it a try, but with my own twist. A few estate sales had a couple here and there but the prices ?? ..whoa ? crazy expensive like a 2 and 3 dollars a piece ..and I knew that I could even buy some brand new ones for way cheaper than that ..but my motto is  "Recycle~Re~purpose~Repaint" and I wanted to stick with it even as badly as I wanted to try these adorable ideas ! So I waited it out ..and as always God provides !
He has always and continues to be "with me" and bless every part of my business...Lord ..I thank You and praise You ! You are amazing God ! Even in the act of working on my little clay pot project ..He is with me and brought to my mind His loving Word as I worked with my hands on these clay pots. There is aprox 40~45 of them and were they ever filthy ..as I scrubbed away each single pot ..I was reminded of how God sees us as a the clay that He has made with His potter's hands...and how we start out so dirty and full of sin ...until we give our life to His Son Jesus...then He cleans us up and restores us whiter than snow... how each one of us is His own personal clay pot project and He puts His unique and creative touch into each one of our lives...what a beautiful picture I was given to meditate on as I worked ...I am the clay ...You are the potter.  Then I came across a few that were cracked or had some pretty rough spots on the edges and I thought ..I can't use these ones...but The Lord showed me different...Yes we all have cracks and rough spots and none of us are perfect ..No not one ! But God is ..and He knows the way to use the brokenness and imperfections in us for His Glory....how could Jesus precious light ever shine through us ...unless we had some cracks in our earthen vessels ? And one Glorious day ..these old cracked imperfect broken pots will be restored, made whole, be beautifully perfect, and dwell forever with our loving Father ..Our God ..in The Potter's Hands...
I hope that you too will be blessed and will think of this little reminder of God's love for us every time you spot an old clay pot!
Blessings & Peace
