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
A few weeks ago I was walking around my home trying to find stuff to paint. This is a Goodwill find from a few years ago that I always meant to paint but never did. It's a nice looking chest that was all gold and it's current use is storing old cards and miscellaneous memorabilia. The green paint was the first choice for a background and then cream stripes were added. Today, after glancing at it I decided that the stripes just didn't work so after covering them with a few coat of the green these designs developed. It's got a little of a psychedelic feel to it without bright colors. It's fun to see what you already have that you can update.
