Last week, I visited my third favorite thrift store. It's just down the street from Jack & Greg's.
First, I spotted the old bead board...and wondered what it might be. I decided to buy it for a buck-fifty. The tin made me think it might have been an angel...
I wondered if the wire was supposed to hold a halo...
Later on, I spied another bundle. Thin wood girl shapes, dowel rods and legs WITH some chippy angel wings made me think I'd found the answer to my mystery...
In any case, I wanted the wings. So for another buck, the strange bundle went into my basket.
When I got home, I un-taped the legs and dowel rods and freed the wings.
I was only somewhat surprised when they fit together perfectly with the bead board body.
About the halo - she's fine without it. She may fit in even better around here without one!
I like her just the way she is. No painting needed!
Wait...do you think SHE is a HE? No curls...Hmmm.
In any event, I now have a lovely folk art orphan angel for $2.50. Welcome home, Dear!
Word for the Day:
Psalm 34:7
The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him, and delivers them.

I love the angel and fully believe you were intended to solve the mystery and give him/her a home.
He or she, it's a great find.
