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.
