I figured out I have a "thing" for miniature chairs. I don't really USE them, but I can't pass one by at the thrift store.
I often paint them with white spray paint or plaster paint, and list them on Etsy.
If I had a really large home...or more than one medium sized home...I might keep them and use them. I find them so charming!
But for now, they must go to Etsy.
The three twig chairs are fairly recent finds...different places and times.
I'm trying to decide what to do with them - keep them together or sell them separately?
Keep them natural, or paint them. White or some pretty color?
I'd love your input!
Now, for the features from Thrifty Life Thursday #20:
Linda from Itsy Bits and Pieces changed the feel of her living room by creating a gallery wall of paintings she has collected over time...some from thrift stores and one amazing painting of her Pug by her talented daughter!
It suits you so well, Linda!
Donna, from Distressed Donna Down Home, found a most adorable mini-trunk - not only was it from Goodwill, but her Goodwill has half-price hours! (Now, that's a great spin on "Happy Hour" in my book.) I have never, ever seen one this size. Her post name really had me laughing out loud.
Doreen from Altered Artworks shared a transformation of a metal locker. If you like this one, she has MORE coordinating storage items as well. Doreen, a tour may be in order...
My humble apologies for the tardiness of this post! VBS week was amazing, and I was tired...

Word for the Day:
Hebrews 10:24-25
24 And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, 25 not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.
