This is my Week 8 of Diamonds In The Rough!, where I show you the treasures that I've found at garage sales and thrift stores, then you get to see what I do with them. Seems like the garage sales are full of baby items. One should never need to go into a store for these items because there are more really nice baby things out there for sale...cheap...than babies that need them!!! But, I don't need any baby items and would love to see a lot less of this in my world!
Here are the few items that I did find and bring home for transformation!
And I didn't forget items for my daughter's apartment like a fan and these treasures she can surely use!
And lastly for me, a new cloche and crock to set it on. At first I put the normal, bird in it to decorate...
Then I realized that I don't like NORMAL, so I switched it up!
This is my vintage Frozen Charlotte, with a cameo and my late Grandmother's cameo bracelet!
Oh yeah, So much better to see something that's not the norm!
