We Are Back with Re-purposed Vintage

Apologies to readers, the Three Sisters Four blog was on hold for a short bit. We had a death in the family and all our extra energy had been focused elsewhere for obvious reasons. We are all still sad and heartbroken over the loss of our loved one, but as life does, we are getting back to things. That feels weird and right all at the same time...
Peacock at the ranch

Our heart is going out to those in Texas and Oklahoma, near Candace, who are suffering with the torrential rains and flooding. Candace and her hubby are battling flooding at the Alpaca ranch - - the dam on their property keeps flooding over and washing out their entrance road. So far they are otherwise safe but the rains are expected to continue in the next few days. Last week during another storm, this peacock took refuge at the ranch. They are not sure where he came from but he seems to have moved on with the newest storms. I also missed blogging about shearing time at the ranch back in early April, but hope to have pics to share with you all soon. 

So the Three Sisters Four are really into vintage. Vintage everything. I have several things to share in the future around projects, but we all have fun creating something new and interesting out of the old. 


Glenda was in Montgomery, AL last weekend and found this antique office chair on the left that completes a set on her screened porch, and then this really cool old vintage African violet stand. On the right, you can see the details of the holder and that Glenda re-purposed it as a candle holder with old blue Mason jars. 

Oh big tip: put a little bit of water in each jar under the candles. It keeps the melted candles from sticking to your jars. 

Overall, I love this vintage candle holder and know that it looks awesome at night. This would look great as a focal point on a table top too. 

Oh and just so you know, we love Mason jars. Look for more info soon on our latest Mason jar loves...pies, coffee holders, and more. 

And finally, here are some final pics of ongoing vintage projects that you'll hear more from us in the future.


Candace just acquired this antique couch.
Look for a future posting of its transformation. 

Glenda took an old necklace chain and added vintage jewelry
and buttons to create her OOAK statement necklace.
Look for a future posting on how you can make one too. 

And sometimes vintage is just a way of life...
Here is Christy and her son prepping for a Colonial Day event. 

All the best to you and chat with you again soon. Hugs from the Three Sisters Four - Christy
