First, look at all my little beauties!
I just couldn't get a good picture of this one! It's got little "thumb prints" all around it! I have some other plates and goblets like this! It's really a cute plate!!
Not much better but maybe you can see it? Dont look at my nails, they've had a rough week!
This is a cute little optic bowl. Perfect for serving jam in the morning!
Next is my little blue teacup! Isn't she gorgeous?!
I found these two little plates and knew they were coming home with me! They are Theodore Haviland, Limoge France! I'd love to have a set of these!!
Oh! My little yellow sugar bowl! My Great Aunt Myrtle had a yellow kitchen, straight out of the 50's, I always loved it, when I see cute yellow dishes, they are in my cart!
This is my little tidbit tray! I need to spray paint the handle, but the ruffles are just gorgeous!
Next is a little bubble plate I got to match some other pieces like it that my grandmother gave me!
and last but not least is this indiana glass dish. This will have a million uses!
I've been giving you a tiny peek at a metamorphasis in progress, this is all primered and ready for paint!!!
And this is getting ready for its close up Mister Deville!
Now for today's metamorphasis!!!
I love playing in paper! I could sit at my desk and play in it all day! My son and daughter in law will be coming to visit this week and I made my daughter in law a few pretty things, because she likes paper as much as I do!!
So, here's the before, just a plain simple composition book that I bought for $.70.
And after a little bit of playing and glueing here's how it looks now!
And the inside cover:
A close up of the quote on the inside cover:
Well I hope you enjoyed this!! Hope on over to Susans and check out more gorgeous makeovers!!
See y'all later!!

I love all the little treasure you found, especially the yellow one.
ReplyDeleteAnd the book is gorgeous! You need to give a tutorial. Especially how you get the edges to stay so smooth. I know you DIL will love it!

You really found some great buys at your salvation army...I love the cup and saucer. You did a wonderful alteration of the composition book, it really looks great....love the paper choices.
ReplyDeleteI love the comp book. I have been meaning to add some snazz to some of mine, but haven't gotten around to it.
ReplyDeleteI think that the optic bowl in your 4th picture was made by Heisey and it is the colonial pattern. I couldn't see a mark in the larger version of the picture to be sure. Good find for that price! (I used to collect it, which is why I know a bit about it)
I LOVE the book! What a great idea:) Thanks for stopping by Homepsun Kitchen, I so enjoy meeting new faces!

Mmmm I loved the definition of dream!
ReplyDeleteI am going to use your idea for christmas presents--the composition book idea is great for some teenagers I have in the family. Thanks a lot for the wonderful post. Love your glass too!
