A thrift store find for less than a dollar. I think it was a display of some sort at one time possibly with a glass top. It is smaller so maybe for a cheese display, I'm not sure. It's about seven inches around and has a ridge that had something that fit into it, your guess is as good as mine. The first thing I did was flip it over to the smooth side and paint it black, then painted small pebbles shapes all over it in white. The color scheme was random, first I added the green, then the blue. I was going to leave it at that, but it needed more. The gray and pearl paint were last minute decisions. After the 'pebbles' were dry, they were outlined in the white. It kind of has a mosaic effect, but it is all paint. It's a new addition to my big wall of art projects.

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.
