It’s Metamorphosis Monday party time .. Many thanks to Susan at Between Naps on the Porch for hosting this fun weekly event. Be sure to drop by Susan’s and see what everyone has been morphing this week.
This week I’m sharing one of a few projects I did last month.. Being the holidays and as usual money was tight.. I had to get a lil creative in preparing for my table for the Christmas Tea at church. A couple of years ago I happen to catch my neighbor as she was headed to drop off a load to Goodwill.. She told me to take whatever I wanted .. first thing I spotted were 6 candelabras that she had used for her wedding. They were caked up with candle wax.. scratched up and parts had started turning green. On the bottom were the Target clearance stickers.. She had really gotten a deal on these .. Clearance at Target for $3.74 each!! Regular price $24.99 each. Bargain Diva!!
I brought em home and stuck them away in the garage and really forgot all about them. As I was digging out stuff for Christmas there they were .. screaming help me .. save me.. use me .. make me pretty again.
You know I had to listen.. These will be perfect after they are what?… Painted white! Yep spray paint to the rescue again. I painted 3 and left the others the plated silver.. they may end up red or black.. who knows lol.
These next few photos I took today… Overlook that dead frozen fern in the background .. Old man winter hit us with a cold punch this past week and someone was in a hurry and forgot to grab this one and put it inside.
Please keep in mind I had used them last month for my Christmas table at Church.. I’m going to have to do a lil retouching on them because they got a few nicks in them from being packed and unpacked.
A lil glimpse of what they looked like … Make sure you stop back by on Thursday when I show them in all their glory on my table.
Have a Great Week Y’all !
