Thrifty Wasting Time...

Sometimes I really get on my nerves because it seems I don't pay attention to what I'm telling me. That causes me to waste time making decisions when I know anyway. Huh? mmhmmmmm...

There is something I've really wanted to have that I've had but don't have lately. Huh? mmhmmmmm... but I'll tell you about that later. But at the beginning..

Yesterday I stopped at a Thrift Shop close to my home because I was looking for a silver tray because....I'm going to attempt a new craft. I went in and found a lovely one with handles even. So lovely that I had to buy it and as I was getting ready to leave I thought I might even give it to my son Geoff it was so nice. I was afraid of messing it up with my new craft. Thats when I spied, in a box JUST what I told you above I've been looking for. It was there...right there...and I hoed and I hummed about it, and then I left...without it!
So because I'll explain the other thing in another post I simply have the tray to show you. This is how it looked when I first bought it. You can't even see the tarnish in the picture can you?...





I cleaned it up with Twinkle and then it twinkled so much it looked tarnished in the picture! So here it is on the table along with my recent thrift found silver candlesticks and my thrifted silver flower container. I wasn't working the vignette for this picture I just wanted you to see it.


That is my Show and Tell and I can't wait to show you what I found!!
I hope you find this to be a very lovely day... Judi xoxo

Regarding your comment you just left me....I use Rust-Oleum American Accents spray paint in Heirloom white. You might want to use a spray primer first. I hope it turns out nice!
