Also no mischief coz I have been revamping things in last few weeks.
Poor ugly sad damaged table $2
took of all the damaged marquetry, undercoated table, glued it(where it broke on legs after I dropped it GRRR)
and made it purdy
with left over paint and old maps from stash
Tip rescued, sadly neglected, sun and rain damaged, childs cane rocking chair which also had dried fungus on it $2
undercoated (as paint got sucked right up it was so dry),and made it purple to go with pinky and bluey on my porch
2 large Candlestick holders $1 or 2 a pair?

Have a few other things in the works will share when finished.
and today Miss 5 and I have been making flower headwear (coz Desirees have been so cute and inspiring) I used up flowers in my stash and got Miss 5 to model for free.
