Lovin' my spray paint today

I have spray painted so much that I can still smell it on me. I looked like I had a black mustache. These are some of my fun treasures I have been working on today.Before

 After

Can you tell I LOVE Cherries. 

Then I went Garage sale-ing with my sister on Saturday and I found these funny little Folk Art wall hangings. I had to have them $2.00 for both, SOLD!  They have little animals in the trees look closely very cute.

I couldn't leave them that color although it wasn't that bad. But this is how they turned out and they are hanging in my eating area.
            


When I was garage sale-ing I also found a little brass chandelier that I thought will look good in the Boyz bathroom Look at the before and after below.

  Before    After

I will try and get it hung this weekend. I will show you how that looks when that is done.

See the Fork in the background of the next picture?   
It had a whole in it that I think a spoon was attached to it. I only could find the fork at GW. I spruced up the paint on it and added a glass knob and hung it in my kitchen. Maybe I'll hang a cute Apron on it.... 



I had a great day playing with some more of my great finds.
Have a treasure filled weekend.

What am I going to do with all these treasures?



I had another great day at "My" Thrift shop and GW. I call it "Mine", is because I don't tell anyone else about it. It is where I found my $600. chandelier for $5.00. It's my secret shhhhhh!  They price things low to begin with then it's 50% off of everything. So I'm walking around and gathering little bits of this and that and I couldn't carry it all. So I grabbed a waste paper basket and filled it up. There was a gentleman putting more goodies out and I saw this wire.....basket.....3 tier.....  blah blah blah.... need to see ASAP, in the bottom of the bin. I asked him if I may look at it and he got it out and it was $1.00. Don't forget 50% off !!!! I tucked that little sucker right under my arm and ran.... well not really but I was so excited. 
I was now to the point that I could hardly carry it all down the stairs. Ooops I hope that didn't give you a clue to where "my" Thrift shop is.....
This is what I came home with after spending $16.00.
  
What am I going to do with all these new treasures right?

       I stopped and had a nice lunch outside and read my new magazines 
That was so fun to sit and look at a magazine from cover to cover in one sitting. I enjoyed seeing everyones Studios.

I wasn't done shopping though so I was off to the new GW. I told myself 45 minutes tops OK? 
 2 hours later........ this is what I came out with .

OK stop! 
Go home! 
Do something with this stuff! 


So I did
This is where I put some of my fine gems. 
This is now in my Studio holding some of my supplies. I really love this piece it is so much fun to look at and see some of my fun doo dads. 

I love the shape of this jar it's got great curvvvvves.
Now it holds Dog treats for Henry 

I just loved this guy he made me laugh. He is saying Neener Neener . Now he holds my scissors. 
I have so much more to do with those plates and stool........ Just stay tuned I am getting the spray paint out today.

Make sure you check back to see what is next.
