Today's Friday favorite is a jewelry casket I purchased at an antique show for $20. Someone had damaged one of the hinges in the back (you will notice the top sits a little askew) so it was reduced from a price of over $100. I did not care that it was damaged. I have never seen another one like it although I am sure there are more out there. I especially love the cherubs sitting on the top blowing horns. I have a collection of these jewelry caskets which hold some of my compact collection. As I was photographing this one I noticed it was dusty - oh well!
I did manage to finish the file drawer project mentioned in a previous post. I primed it, painted it and then used several stencils to decorate it. The drawer now holds some of my ribbons.
This first photo
is a view of the top of the drawer. I used a
swirl stencil on the front and a decorative scroll and damask stencil on the top and sides. On the back
I used a scallop stencil.
