I don’t keep many of the things I create. However I made these Happy Flowers a couple years ago and haven’t been able to part with them. I have them in my sewing room and they always make me smile. I wanted to make another piece similar to my Happy Flowers for my space at Sanctuary of Davidson.
I keep all my scrapes in these cool wood compartments that I found at a yard sale for $5.00.
I decided to go with blue fabric. Are you shocked?
I sewed the petals onto studier fabric.
I found three of these metal shelves at Habitat Restore. This one was yellow but I painted it blue. Shocked again?
Remember these wood bowls I used to make my Hubcap Flowers? I had two left over! I’m really into flowers these days! I must be channeling my inner hippie chick.
I found these wooden platters at a thrift store, 4 for a $1.00.
Green spray paint.
Paper and Modge Podge
Old coasters, yo yos from my sweet friend Suzanne, and buttons.
Happy Flowers Two Ready for Sanctuary!

My name is Angela Statzer and I love to incorporate just about anything into my artwork. Ranging from recycled materials, vintage items, wood, jewelry, other people’s junk, buttons and fabric, my style is fun and diverse. You can find me smiling at any yard sale, thrift store or flea market. I am a momma to two amazing kids and wife to one hot husband. 
Your creativity never ceases to amaze me. I am helping with a huge fund raiser garage sale. We will be setting up today and tomorrow and sale is saturday. The fun is that the helpers get to shop early! I will probably be on the lookout for some wooden bowls, etc. I really want to make one of these. Thanks for sharing with us.
Thanks Jackie!!! I wish i could hit that sale with you!!! IF you see any cool fabric let me know!!! Send me a picture after you make it! Thanks for always being so encouraging!
