A Junk Store "Find"

I found two of these silverplated cups at a local "junk" store.  You never know what you will find when you go inside.  Most of the time, I come out empty-handed, but I keep going back.  And, when I spotted these, I knew they wanted to come home with me.  I have had them a few weeks and today while strolling through one of my favorite stores, I found these cute little trees.  I knew the trees would look adorable in my newest "find".  So home with me they came and I'm liking them with the other two topiraries I made last year for my antique buffet.

Yes, I have a little fall and a little of Christmas going on, but

I'm ok with that and that's all that matters.  Right?

I thought I would share my poppies (our grandchildren call

my husband "Poppy").  The frame it was in was shiny gold -

you know - the kind that was so popular a few years ago.

Well, it was just too "gold-in-your-face" and too narrow.

So, Mr. Handy Dandy had some salvaged chair moulding and

I asked him to attach it to the outside of my gold frame.

When, both pieces were connected, I sponged and brushed

dark brown paint over both pieces.  I wipes some off the

old gold frame so a little "bling" would peep through.

I like the results.  And now, my poppies are happy and so am I!
