Jewelry Fruit Bowl

fruit bowl

Have you ever impressed…

yourself?

Isn’t it great fun?

It makes me laugh thinking about it.

I am my own audience of one!


When I found this stray flea market find out in

the garage ,

I did not think of

fruit.

I thought of the end of my dresser.

And so,

true to my blog’s roots

and my mother’s tutelage,

I spray painted it flat white.


And now it holds this.

It looks great. I would never have thought to spray paint it. The color of the beads next to the white is stunning.
