Weekend Painting Project

A few weeks ago - just after we got back from NZ - I had to pick up the wonderful J from work in Jesmond.  I got there a bit early so I could go check out the Salvation Army store on Newcastle Road. After a bit of hunting I found some 'treasures'.

Some of my 'finds' I brought with a plan in mind, others I just loved the shape of and some just inspired me.

As last weekend was absolutely beautiful, in true spring style, I grabbed a box and headed outside to make a spray-booth to start on my projects. I started our with this little find:

Still in the plastic wrapping, this little frame was just $1. Originally I didn't think that I would keep the little saying inside, but in the end I decided that I liked it.  Although I though that the frame was lovely in white.... I have a thing for yellow at the moment .... 

This little gem I fell in love with for it's shape and overall cuteness; the front is actually lovely as it is ......

But the back .... 

So clearly she had to be painted gloss white. 

My very helpful sister was sunning herself in the back yard and offering many helpful suggestions along with my other little helper and weekend house guest!
