Item #1: this wonderfully made wooden chest for $15. I haven't decided whether it will be entirely painted or whether I will make a padded bench out of the top (probably the later since the top is slightly warped, as you can see).
Items #2-5: I can not even tell you how flippin' excited I am to have found the lamp shade on the left. On Tuesday my mother-in-law and I repainted my kitchen to the color you can see on the wall in the background (spiced butternut). I knew I wanted a wow lampshade to reanchor the room and have been on the hunt, but never dreamed I'd get so lucky. It's lovely 60's vintage glass and I could just marry it!! When all is said and done, it will hang above my table. I picked up the pitcher and goblets to set on the table as a grouping as well.
Item #6: For $1.50 I just couldn't put her down. She needs a little TLC and some more modest paint, but I just know I can save her.
...and we also hit Hobby Lobby where I picked up a pair of 24"x30" canvases. I'll paint them as a pair to hang behind my kitchen table. You can be sure that there will be LOADS of pics to share when I am done redoing my kitchen. Promise.Clearly I don't plan on sleeping for a while, since I also have the Etsy Craft Party tomorrow night. So excited! Can't wait to meet some awesome local artists.
A super huge thank you to my mother-in-law: she ROCKS!
Gotta go... get busy crafting or get busy dying.

Gorgeous and fun finds! I can't wait to get to some crafting this evening myself...
That box and lamp are wonderful...don't know about that owl...
Mom
Love your fun finds! You know that little owl would look great painted to match your lamp shade....just saying. With a little glazing....but you'll do something clever, I just know it. I am jealous of your big canvas purchases tho. Something about a big empty canvas just calls to me.
Wow, I love the glass finds! Lucky you!
Your owl is so cute, great find.
