The waiting finally paid off when I stopped by the Goodwill and found this mirror for $1.99. It was a dull, dark gold color until I used Rub 'n Buff in Gold Leaf to spruce it up.
I stopped by a garage sale on a whim on the way home from taking the kids to school. Fridays are the big garage sale days around here. So the .50 cent owl who lost it's top is put to good use on the craft table. I'm debating on whether to spray him some other color.
I like anything in galvanized metal so when I spotted this minnow bucket for only $2.00, it came home with me.
And now it holds only plants, no minnows.
Under $5.00 and happy.

ReplyDeleteOops, sorry! I'm waiting for the light to be put up. And to hang the pictures...and...soon. Don't get your hopes too high it's nothing as fab as yours!
ReplyDeleteI love your creativity on a bargain! That mirror is great and I never would have thought to put a plant in a minnow bucket. My brain simply doesn't function that way! Thanks for stopping by... I am now following you and can't wait to see more!
