??? It was Slim Pickins ???

Slim Pickins

but Sweet just the same!

I just thought this Old Jar with the Floral Decal was SWEET!

I think this was an

 "Old Coffee Jar"

 that some crafty person added the Floral Basket decal. 

I also found the hand crocheted hot pads in Green & Red.

The lid has that patina

I LOVE!!!

It's a Keeper not going to sell this one

it is sitting on top of my Fridge! :)

Vintage Shaker & yes I'll be keeping it too !!!

This is a door knocker ~ my plan is to use it to hold paper napkins outside on my picnic table.

It will keep the wind from blowing them everywhere!

It could also be used hold notes on your desk or counter.

!!! TRASH TO TREASURE !!!

A

Black & Gold Lamp

and it's very

" Retro "

( found in a throw away pile at a thrift store )

All finished now ...

 I always forget to take the before pictures.

 I am so into getting it refurbished & looking like new again

 & 

I'm almost done when I think

 !!! Darn !!!

 I should have taken the before pictures.

So ~ I'll just explain it to you ... 

the metal pieces were a Gold Brass finish ~ but in very bad condition.

So ~ I spray painted them is a Black Satan finish.

The lamp shade is also a Gold finish but it had some scuff marks & small dents.

I bought a roll of Black tulle & wrapped it with that so it would let the gold shine through but not be able too see

 it's

 Boo Boos so much.

Put it all back together & rewired it.

for a added touch

I added the Gold Cord Trim around the Lamp Shade top & bottom.

I also found this Gold & Black Jewel that was originally a xmas ornament

 &

 hung it from the lamp switch knob.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

it will be for sell soon
