These pretty glass vases and bottles were all on sale for 25¢ at my favorite thrift store. At that price I couldn’t resist getting a couple more pieces of white ironstone and that peachy colored planter. Sometimes they put the housewares on sale just get rid of them and that’s just ,fine by me.
The colored glass pieces look so pretty grouped together. I have plans on using these pieces in my kitchen when I get around to restyling the shelves in there, after I finish the cabinets.
The carafe has a great glass stopper and I think the other bottle is pretty old. It has bubbles in the glass.
This oil painting on canvas was just $1.80. You can’t even buy a canvas that cheap! The painting isn’t bad, but it felt kind of dark to me, so I painted over it. It was signed by Mona. Sorry Mona. I really hope you don’t mind.
First I painted it white and then went crazy with the paint. Pretty ugly, huh? Don’t gag now, it’s modern art! Think Jackson Pollock.
It’s not that bad. is it? It might look better framed. Probably just wishful thinking.
I hated it at first, but I’m starting to like it now. It’s for the powder room which is painted BM Palladian blue. I’m not sure I‘ll use it, we’ll see.
maybe, I dunno…….

Looks as if you had fun with that painting project and it’s much better than Lisa’s. I mean Mona’s. Great find on all the glass…love that peachy colored piece.
I love the art you made on top of that old canvas. If Mona doesn’t like it, I do!

I like it! The colors you used are so much better than Mona’s. For some reason I love it so much more vertically (like the second picture) than horizontally. Weird how that works with abstract art, hmm?

Haha! I would have asked Mona the same thing! I like the colors of your modern art!
