thrift store goodies

even on vacation my little crafty brain is working.  while in desert springs, i spotted a thrift store, which i knew i had to stop in and take a peek.  it was owned by a local church and filled with all kinds of goodies.  since i had the girls with me i wasn't able to look around as i would have liked, but i did find a few goodies.  i only currently have pics of the one find.  i'll post the others later.  

this was a random box with fake grass and moss balls stuffed inside.  i was immediately drawn to the old aged white wood (don't you just love it)...it was only $3 and i think i even got 40% off that day too.  i saw such potential in this poor little neglected box someone found no more use for.  little box, i will give you new life in my house...

this is what it looked like before i had at it with a screw driver, razor blade, and hammer...oh yes...not as easy as i had thought...but definitely worth the hard work.


and this is the after...it is such a cute vintage looking box...aged to perfection in the paint job.  it currently lives on my coffee table, housing a few candles and a succulent.  she may move to another room, but for now, i like her here.  any suggestions on what to fill her with???
