A Case of Mistaken Identity

Felt that urge to do a little shopping this morning, so I thought I would share with you my treasures!  Oh, the bounty!

Here you are viewing the whole kit and kaboodle. (Oops! Irish Garfield is lurking in the background - better box that kitty up until next year!)  Check out the metal/woven container.  It is the neatest thing.  I am thinking of spraying the outside a different color, but I am going to think that one over.  I know it will look good outside in our front sitting area filled with plants. A cheapie deal at $1.99!

A little closer view:  $2 fabric squares from JoAnn, soon to be coming to life as basket liners for Easter brunch.  I love these squares - discontinued upholstery, high end fabric!  I buy them every chance I get.  They make great pillows, little table toppers - the sky's the limit.  

I also popped into Kirkland's and this is where the identity crisis comes in.  These little metal "bugs" were only $2.99 ea. and I thought they would be fab-oh-la in a tablescape with my "bee" glasses.  I thought that because they looked like....well, like bees!  After I got them home, though, I think they may be butterflies.  Not sure.  So, I think I will just go on pretending they are bees.  Either way they are so stinkin' cute!  They have a bronze-y type finish right now, but they may get a blast from the ol' spray paint can. 

This sweet egg picture came from Goodwill.  At $1.99!  What more can I say?  The frame is pretty beat up, but I am going to spray paint it anyway.  I love it!

I also bought six Mason/Kerr jars at 49 cents each.  They are currently lounging in a warm, sudsy spa and are looking forward to spending some time being pampered with spray paint.  Such a popular idea right now and you can count me in on that bandwagon.

Hey...thanks a bunch for stopping in to see my treasures du jour! I will show you them worked into my decor in future posts.  Hope you are having a wonderful day.

I will be partying it up with Kim @   Savvy Southern Style for Wow Us Wednesday.  Be sure to stop by and see not only Kim's fabulous blog, but tons of inspiration from other bloggers. 

Wishing you happiness,

Jane
