May Thrift Polish Share

Starting with the thrifted and polished project this week. 

Metal piece (blank) was from the free table at Thrift Store. It sat around for a few days until I decided how to re-purpose it.

Supplies:

Stencil - FARMHOUSE (smaller size) (Funky Junk Interiors)
Paint - CeCe Caldwell Beckley Coal
Wax - used CeCe Caldwell Clear Wax, waxing brush and 
          clean rag to polish
Stencil brush
Masking tape, ruler and newspaper
Magnets to hold the stencil in place while measuring 
          placement and taping and then holding decorations
Two Graphic's Fairy illustrations


Sequence:

Stenciled FARM  then  HOUSE after measuring for spacing and taping each word in place (forgot to take a 'before').

First time I've stenciled on mesh and it was just like using wood for the base. 

Magnets made great 'pins' for experimenting with adding cookie cutters, a metal circle plus the printed cards. 

Had some fun decorating the metal sign.

The rest of this post is a mixture of thrifted and church sale finds for May.

 

 A sweet bouquet DGS brought home from an evening dinner with his Mom beside an EPNS tiered serving tray and a white glass hen on base.

Lilacs from the garden in a woven cone in a white metal holder.

A very old brass lidded glass humidor,  Noritake berry jug and shaker, blue Fenton vase and Fitz Floyd 'Fleur et Nuages'mugs plus an unidentified top hat.

A collage of vintage finds - egg cups, vases, coffee and tea pots, a jug, tin with the young QEII, piggy bank, brass bell and china cup and saucer, lidded sugar and a 

candy dish.

Tuti Fruti serving pieces with white s/p hens.

Kitchen ware finds - cookie cutters, round rolling pin, utensil holder.

More kitchenware - I know the green oil can isn't kitchen but I love finding old oil cans.

Glad you dropped by and thanks for visiting.
