So here's my story: |
 |
| I paid 25 cents at a garage sale for this "gem". I painted it white. Then a few weeks later, I was thinking I should do something with it to sell at my openhouse. Yes, the morning of, actually. I was about to look for some cute fabric to staple behind it when, no joke, this woman knocks on my door (we'll call her Marie) with a Christmas apron on and says "I'm your elf today and I'm here to work in your craft room. Throw some projects at me!" I know you're extremely jealous that the elves know where I live. And you should be. Cuz elves are awesome. Especially ones named Marie. So I handed her this Home Sweet Home wooden thingy-ma-jig, pointed to one of my trunks full of fabric and said find something cute and add it to the back. |
 |
| She glued the fabric (and oh how I love her choice) onto some cardboard before attaching it. Good idea. I hadn't thought about actually making it sturdy. Anyways, ain't it CUTE now?! Anything that's wood and I can pay for in dimes, I buy. It can always be made cute with paint!! |

ReplyDeleteHmm... most of your post is all jumbled up on my screen--all the text between the two pics is on the right-hand side of the page and is obscured by the usual links, etc., that live over there. But I was able to read most of it on my Blogger Dashboard page, so I got the gist of it.: )
ReplyDeleteAnyway... yay for elves named Marie, and yay for your "gem" that's a *real* gem now! xoxo
