This was a piece of truly insignificant tarnished silverplate, trust me ... I had it sitting on the deep freezer since we close down the shop.
I got this 'light bulb' idea to have Donnie (Brass & Copper Shop, Frederick, MD) paint it for me.
This is one of those 'look at me now' moments ... isn't she gorgeous!
Now to make her elegant & inviting ...
And look what I did with her for my foyer ...
... you can see Rebecca's card artwork
(http://rebecca-gatheryeroses.blogspot.com) tucked in the entry mirror ...
She sits upon a gorgeous hand woven piece brought back from Nova Scotia from my friend, Dottie.
... and the final redo is ME! I love this new cut!
Wow, it's a new you. I love the "do" keep it that way. I also like the new "thing-y" in the entry way - very creative.
ReplyDeleteHugs - Marie
Love the redo, and your new "do" looks really beautiful. Nice cut for Spring. Enjoy your day my friend!
ReplyDeleteI never thought of painting old silverplate! Great idea! And your new "do" looks lovely!
ReplyDeleteOh Good Morning Sweetie... (any way it still is for me here in Phoenix.)
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful you look first of all. Love the new haircut, ofcourse because mine is short too. I love not having to take so much time to fix it anymore. Wash and blow it dry and go. Yippee. You look BEAUTIFUL Sis, just beautiful.
I love your newly painted serving dish. I am so tickled with this makeover. It is just gorgeous. Donnie did an awesome job. You go boy. I can't wait to see everything in its place. You are going to be exhausted before I even get there. Can you save some energy for me? Please??
Have a beautiful day sweetie. Love ya. Many hugs and much love, Your Sis, Sherry/Cherry Jelly
Loving the haircut. I just got mine cut a couple of weeks ago. Feels long again already, though. Yours looks fresh and cool.
ReplyDeleteThe redo on the serving platters is totally awesome. I love the femininity of the flowers on it. So soft and pretty.

Love your new hair-do!

Hi Marydon! I LOVE what you did to this 3-tiered server!! It's gorgeous!... Oh, but not as gorgeous as YOU today! LOVE your new haircut too! Now if I could just get my son's hair cut!! He's not overly anxious to go, but I KNOW he has the most handsomest blue eyes hiding under all that caveman hair!! I just want to SEE them! Wish me luck! (0; I'm planning on dragging him to the barber today! ~tina

Love your haircut! It looks easy to care for, soft and wispy, very nice! Love the white redo in the silver, too. I can see it filled with petit fours or cupcakes. This from a woman who just ate 13 cupcakes over Easter weekend, so you know where my mind is!
ReplyDeleteLiz

Do like your hairdo. That is what I call 'up to now'. It is so much fun to do-over something like your server. I got a few things that I need to do over. I guess it is getting hot out there for sure. Blessings

Hi Marydon,
ReplyDeleteI couldn't figure out why your blog wasn't showing on my favorites and come to find out I wasn't following you!!!!!! Oh, boy, I can't believe it. By golly, I am now. I think I was following your older blog and somehow I got lost. But now I'm back and I'm gonna bug you.
First of all, I love your three tiered stand and it looks even lovelier after you embellished it.
I like your new doo. You look like a new woman. Pretty Lady.
hugs
Sissie
You are so talented; and a summery do, too!
ReplyDeleteoh look at you! so pretty!
