Don't you just love to locate that cute, extra special thing - you weren't looking for it - so you would not have recognized it, BUT when your eye spots a neat item, suddenly your brain is engaged and the wheels turn fast at first, then really fast. You can not WAIT to get the thing home, clean it; and then figure out another way to use the item. I love to do this and would rather re purpose than most anything. When I saw this neat photo frame on a swivel post with glass - it holds a 4x6 photo, I instantly knew it would never hold a photo - not this cute item. It would be displayed wherever I was holding a brunch, lunch or a hot dog supper or cook-out for any event. It is so neat. I had some card stock index cards that fit great, after trimming to fit. I thought of painting it black, but didn't want to. I would use a black fine point Sharpie to write my menu on anyway. It was done in a few minutes or when I had my mind set on a menu I'll serve next week for Gayle and our friend Debbie who is moving. How cute is this!
OOOHHHHH!!!! I want that cute little thing!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is cute Bettie! You could even paint the glass with chalkboard paint and write on it with chalk!
ReplyDeleteI have a chef menu board, well, it's a chef holding a small chalkboard. I've never been able to part with him in all our moves he always finds a home!
Bettie, I love the idea and am so honored you are using it for our luncheon.
ReplyDeleteHow cute! If it goes missing it might be "visiting" on Berkley St :)
ReplyDeleteI knew YOU would like it. I like Victoria's idea of painting the glass with chalk paint, but I've used all the paint I had at the cottage and would not use it elsewhere.
ReplyDeleteI love to see new uses for common things! Brilliant! Loved the idea about the sand.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind words and support. May you open your door to only beautiful things.
Very clever idea - I love it!
