As Promised - The Valentine Finds

I promised to share what I made out of the 80's wooden hearts I found at the thrift store.  I know you've been hanging on the edge of your collective seats.......

I took the mirrors out of them and painted two of them with red chalk paint and one with pink.  I then distressed them and and waxed them.  The pink one I added some dark wax because it took on more of a golden tone.

I think they turned out pretty darn cute!!!! 

Here is the pink one in a Valentine Vignette on my pie safe. The chocolate sign I also found at Goodwill for 99 cents!!!  The cutting board was another Good will find and I added one of my Mason Jars! The Pink heart is sitting in a cute heart jello mold (yet another Goodwill find at 39 cents!).  

And the mirrors?  I am painting one with black chalk paint to see if it will make a cute little chalkboard.  And I used another as a pattern to make cute little stuffed fabric hearts that I placed in baskets as seen below.  If the chalk painting works, I'll paint the other two.  Since I don't have small children at home, I can put these in baskets as well....they do have sharp edges!

Happy Valentine's Day!!!  

A Valentine Find

This is a quick post to show you a cute find I made at Goodwill this weekend.  I bought some wood hearts at Hobby Lobby for 79 cents.  I'm painting them red, pink and white and going to mod podge them with some cute valentine scrapbook paper.  Well I managed to get out and a do a bit of thrifting on Saturday, when I came across these little gems...

I found three of them.  The picture isn't the greatest, but there is a mirror in the middle. Classic 1980's decor.  I got them for 39 cents each!!! Score!!!  I'm not sure what's reflecting in it, but it looks like bandaids! LOL.  

I won't give away all my secrets so you'll have to wait to see what kind of magic I work with these babies!!!!
