New website coming soon!

Hi Everyone -

I guess the cold weather has caused my blogging ability to slow down a bit... (what other excuse can I come up with to explain my lack of posts?)

Not to say there's nothing going on though... in fact, the Second Chance Art & Accessories website is being redesigned right now! I'm actually posting on the blog as a way to procrastinate working on the website....(can anyone relate?)

I found a great designer to build a new template for the website. I've been taking pictures of assorted "goodies" that are commonly used in second chance art - for potential use on the website. Here's some of the items I snapped:


Above: Terrific old label holders.. soon to become part of some great coat racks, and a fantastic large map of Europe - awaiting a new life behind a window..



Above: great old hose nozzles... likely to become hooks for a coat or hanging jar vase, and look at all the knobs! If you don't recognize these, you've never been in a house with old wiring. I harvested these from my basement (1918 house) when we updated our electric. I've found they make interesting hooks for coats...







Here's a few more pictures (above) that you may see on the new website - a variety of old but beautiful doorknob backplates, my tobacco can "vase" full of light fixture arm "flowers", old porcelain cross handles for faucets, and of course - another map. I think I have a map addiction!

Thanks for stopping by. I hope to have the new website up soon! As a result, I have not been updating my current site like usual. My current site will remain active until the new site is ready - & then you'll see some new pieces from Second Chance Art & Accessories!
take care - Amy :)
