Treasures...

I went hunting for treasures at my favorite thrift stores the other day... the treasures were awesome, and things were priced at like 50 cents. I found a bag of gorgeous lace pieces for a buck...
And some other beyond fun stuff I schlepped home; like this lovely cherub you see here... Can you believe he is a candle holder? Yes, he is!
I wasn’t particularly impressed with the 'cherub-candle' look though. I was sure my little cherub could do more in life than just being a candle holder. So he hold some faux flowers for a while...
Still couldn't agree with the look! Then I asked him if he would hold my lace ends and he agreed! I immediately loved the cottage feel of cherub and lace together!

Wishing you your definition of a perfect Wednesday! xoxo

    Hello Cielo... I love the laces with the cherub. It shows what a little tweaking and playing around can do.
