Remake: pulpit to bar

June 5th, 2008

I spotted this church pulpit on Craigslist and thought, hmm, paint it white and it would make a very amusing bar.

large glass pear

June 3rd, 2008


large glass pear, originally uploaded by revolutionarygirl.

This large glass pear vessel was found at a family yard sale this past Saturday. I’m really happy I went out despite the sad rainy weather, I almost talked myself out of it. Overall, I didn’t find much this weekend, but it was so worth it! I love how graceful it looks even empty. But the oddly large size of it has me a bit perplexed. I’ll probably just leave it empty, but maybe I’ll experiment and see how it looks full of pears or lemons too.

My photo of this recent yard sale find was chosen by Missa (thriftcandy) as one of her Nifty Thrift Picks of the Week on her blog, Thrift Candy. Thanks, Missa!
