White Wednesday Thrifty Find

It's time once again for White Wednesday hosted by Kathleen @ Faded Charm.  Thanks to Kathleen for hosting this wonderful party.  There are always lots of pretty whites to see so stop by and check out all of the the links.

I got to stop by my favorite thrift store yesterday.  The good news.....50% off day, the bad news....pretty picked over.

But of course I did not leave totally empty handed.  For $1.00 I came home with this box of unpainted (and dirty) Halloween ceramic pieces.

Every October I participate in a fall craft show in my hometown with my mother.  I thought these could be utilized in a project that I could sell at the show.

I took one of the skeletons and gave it a fresh coat of white paint.

I then antiqued it with some watered down black paint. 

 

I glued the skeleton to a wood block that I papered, painted and distressed and then I added a wire photo holder that was dressed up with a few black beads.

My finished photo holder is now displaying a 1967 Halloween photo of me and my siblings.

I've done several posts about different photo holders I've made with my thrifty finds.  I really like the versatility of the holders as they can also be used for displaying banners, vintage postcards, for place cards at a dinner or to hold a menu card for a buffet. 

Now, back to more painting!

Thanks for stopping by.  I really appreciate your visits.
