I was at the Goodwill of course and found this lamp, I really needed one for my living room. It was regularly 4.99 with a blue tag, this past Tuesday was 1.49 on ALL blue tags. I couldn't resist the deal, it was a great size, heavy, simple and basic with potential. I looked at it for a while until an idea came to me. The finished design looks like the shape of the spots on a giraffe. Of course it's black and white, my favorite! After painting it with a semi-gloss finish, it found a new home in the living room. Now to find a good lamp shade and it will be perfect. I do have a cool idea for the shade once I find one that, but that's a future post. Stay tuned!
The best job ever and the coolest friends that I ever had were when I worked at a restaurant called the Heartthrob Cafe. It was in downtown St Paul, Minnesota and was so fun! Today we had a get together to catch up and reminisce. This is one of the many good things about facebook, finding people that you wished you never lost contact with. So, today my post is the buttons that I made for this event. We had 'flair' that was a lot more fun and cool than a restaurant chain that I will not name here. We danced and sang birthday songs. The girls wore poodle skirts and we did all of this while wearing in line skates. We were a crazy family and honestly this was one of the best times in my life. Ahhh...memories. In the time spent there somehow the button machine came into my possession. In honor of our gathering, of course I had to make pins. Here are also two murals that I painted at the restaurant. Let me tell you they were tricky! The murals are on glass and when
