Friday Favorite


Summer has been flying by and I have not spent much time on the computer.  I guess that is why my last post was almost a month ago.  My Friday favorite today is another thrift store find. There is a story behind this one.  I was in the thrift store and saw a lady carrying this silver champagne or wine cooler in her cart. She kept picking it up out of her cart and looking at it.  I could tell that she was undecided about whether or not to purchase it.  I am normally not a stalker, but I stayed in the aisle hoping that she would put it back on the shelf instead of back in her cart.  She did put it back on the shelf and I waited about 3 seconds until she had gone into the other aisle and put it in my cart.  It did not look like the photo you see here.  When I purchased it, it was black with tarnish from top to bottom.  I spent about an hour and a lot of elbow grease polishing it up and I think it was worth it.


I also made a card for my friend's birthday and I like how it turned out.  I love the bright colors.
