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.

It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood! Ice and snow made for a great start today, but things got better. I had some odd customers at work, but also some very nice and that is what made today good. Any time that you can smile is good and I was able to do that quite often today. 
On my recent trip to the thrift store I bought this wooden apple container. It was too good to pass up and was only $2.80. The before looks a bit rough because of the tape and chipped paint but it was quick and easy to remedy. I painted the inside a pretty shade of green and then added a fun decorative design. The outside was painted in red but I cannot take the credit for the pattern. The flower and butterfly design was already there, I just accented it with the black paint. The only thing left to do is to paint on a glossy finish. This was a case of someones trash being turned into a cute treasure. I don't know what to use it for yet but who cares it looks nice sitting on my table.
