A sunny, glorious treasure hunting day:)

Good Saturday night to you all:)

We in Oregon are SMILING tonight because the sun was out ALL day:)  It is amazing what a blue sky day will do to your mood.  I hope the sun is shining where you are too:)


Today while treasure hunting for I spied this and it was only $5:


I have always wanted one of these but always found them to be $40 or more which is way too much for a bargain hunter like me.  When the nice lady said $5 I gave her my money before she could change her mind:)  I know it is an antique and I should leave it alone but you know I am a white girl.  I got out my screw driver and unscrewed the handle and got ready to paint.



Amazingly the handle came off right away.


Of course no project goes perfect and I ran out of spray paint.  I decided I might like it not quite all painted.  I am going to live with it for a while.


I had such fun decorating the boxes.


I used the labels and shells I got from my friend.






 I got the brown vintage bottle at a sale this weekend.  It still has the stopper that the doctor used to keep the medicine in.






Here is the final product.  I really am glad I spray painted it white.


I can't wait to show you more treasures that I found:)

Happy night,


Dena:)
