It's strange how your views in life sometimes change. Until recently I would never think of going to a Thrift Store as being "fun" - digging through piles of unorganized mess for one or two gems wasn't appealing to me... and the smell of those places kinda gets to me. But after seeing through blogland some of the fun things you can find to fix up and give new life to, I decided to give it a try. They always say that to be successful you really have to go frequently but is just too much of a headache to navigate with a double stroller. I went with my mom a while back and what do ya know? I found something. This not-so-cute little topiary was just calling my name, begging for a makeover.
So, I stripped it down, gave it some new moss, put it in a clearance container from Hobby Lobby (went there for the first time and it's HUGE!), and for a total of $12 here it is in all its glory. I'd say she likes her newly resurrected state :) I'm still trying to decide on whether I want to paint the container and put a little decorative flair on it... we'll have to see.
