More Weekend Finds

Hello Again from The French Hen's Nest and Happy Fall,



Well, I'm back with more finds.  
I was lucky this past weekend, because I found a three drawer chest, very French, it is painted black, with flowers of many colors, can't wait to get started on it.  It really needs a lot of TLC,  I'll show it to you later.   But for now, just a few finds I couldn't resist.





First find, is a basket, I'm not usually a basket person, but I couldn't resist this one, with it being Fall, and imagining the basket full of just picked apples.  Its made of wood, and has leather handles, and it was free.  I was walking in my neighborhood, and one of my neighbors had put it neatly on the street, and it's like new!.  Nothing says Fall like a basket filled with fresh picked, or fresh bought apples. 





Second find, is a small silver tray.  I saw something similar to this in a store, and was anxious to try it.  It was so simple to do, I just painted the middle part of the tray with blackboard paint, if you are good with a brush, this requires no taping.  It isn't perfect, but I have another one to practice on, and they were only $2.00 each at GW.  I'm thinking it can be used to display a menu, maybe a saying, or just near the front door to say "Welcome" to my guests.

Third find, is a Rooster lamp.  It is a natural brown iron color, really cute.   I really like the plain brown, but it would probably be lovely spray painted black, dark blue, or red.  I think in this case less is more.   Maybe just a colorful shade?  What do you think?  I snagged this for only $7.00 at GW.   It will probably look great in the kitchen.


Cock-a-doodle doo!


Hope that you enjoyed my finds this week (not bad for $10.00), and hope to see you again. 
   Happy hunting!

  Till next time,

    Jeannie

  5. The blackboard tray is so clever. I have a tray that did not sell in our garage sale. Now I will keep it!
