An old Italian gentleman lived alone in New Jersey. He wanted to plant his annual tomato garden, but it was very difficult work, as the ground was hard. His only son, Vincent, who used to help him, was in prison. The old man wrote a letter to his son and described his predicament:
Dear Vincent, I am feeling pretty sad because it looks like I won’t be able to plant my tomato garden this year. I’m just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. I know if you were here my troubles would be over. I know you would be happy to dig the plot for me, like in the old days. Love, Papa
A few days later he received a letter from his son.
Dear Papa, Don’t dig up that garden. That’ s where the bodies are buried. Love, Vinnie
At 4 a.m. The next morning, FBI agents and local police arrived and dug up the entire area without finding any bodies. They apologized to the old man and left. That same day the old man received another letter from his son.
Dear Papa, Go ahead and plant the tomatoes now. That’s the best I could do under the circumstances. Love you, Vinnie

i could make that: a very girly hat rack
Here’s a hat rack I made for my boyfriend Brendan:
It was pretty easy to make: I just took a piece of scrap wood, sanded it, and used Mod Podge to cover it in some Amy Butler-patterned scrapbook paper. Then I drilled some pilot holes and screwed the hooks into the wood through the paper. Here…
I’ve been dying to do this old pottery barn knock off for almosy a year now!
I painted an old frame white, sanded it into distress and screwed in cup hooks (five 3/4 inch and two larger ones, size unknown). Simple and pretty!
This. Is. Incredible.CLICK THE SQUARES.
THE WHOLE WORLD NEEDS TO KNOW ABOUT THIS.
THIS THIS THIS THIS!

I love good ideas for reuse old things.
In this case, old drawers turn into a really cool cabinet! DIY style.
Whoaaaa. Check out this homemade medium format camera. It has a 360 degree lens that actually kind of looks like a crystal ball, no?
See a sample photo here, and more details/views here, here, and here.
Photo Booth | 100 Layer Cake
Photo booths are more and more popular at weddings these days - I think they’re awesome! Especially when they have amazing backdrops like these. It would be super easy to DIY this - create a stamp for yourself and go nuts - then sew or buy some bunting to hang in front. Want to make sure that the pictures turn out nicely? Think of setting up a camera on a tripod - that way you wont get shaky, blurry images and even the most novice photographer could get a good shot!
Console Table out of Vintage Television-Infarrantly Creative
Some people are so creative it is scary. This makeover is amazing! From the side of the road on the eve of garbage day to a beautiful console table in just a few steps. I love it.
P.S. DO NOT dispose of televisions with regular garbage. Electronic waste is incredibly toxic and needs to be disposed of through a household hazardous waste program (Unless your local landfill has a program for e-waste.)
