Candy over at http://www.junksophisticate.blogspot.com/ had a great idea to feature our thrift finds and what we have done with them on one day of the week. I have known Candy for almost a year now through the junkmarket style site and she is one very talented and inspiring lady.
Today I am sharing a find from my trip to a hospital thrift store last Thursday.
I quickly snatched up this galvanized metal thingy when I saw it. At first I thought it was something from a garden store, but it turns out it was merely a container that held some bath gifts (sticker still at the bottom). Well, as we junkers already know, it doesn't matter much what it used to be I love it just the way it is. For now it takes center spot on a shelf in the living room surrounded by some of my french lovelys.
I added this little address using rub on vinyls that I cut with my much loved xyron cutter. I picked up a bag of this wonderful moss at Pottery Barn. The necklace is a piece of my own jewelry that I thought looked charming hanging off the top.
Happy thrifting my blogging friends!!!! Head on over to Candy's blog to see lots more thrift treasures.
