Trash To Treasure!

The other day I promised to show you another Trash to Treasure project. Well here it is......this is a candle sconce I found on one of my GW trips, and as soon as I saw it, I knew just what I wanted to do with it. So home it came and with a few simple changes, it was transformed from yucky to simply primilicious....is that a word? Anyway, after I painted it black, and sanded and distressed it, it was perfect..........except for one thing. I wanted to be able to post it to show you today, so I grabbed a few prim things I had on hand to fill it, but I don't want it to stay this way.

We have several wonderful places to purchase prim candles here in town. One is called Two Sisters, and the other is the Red Geranium...I could spend hours in both of these shops. So after being thrifty, and redoing my 1.00 find at GW, I am headed out to buy a large primitive candle, and a little braided candle mat, then it will be perfect!

If I ever had to choose my favorite primitive accessory it would have to be candles. I cannot resist them! At any given time a candle is burning, or I have tarts in the burner, or even both. It is just something special I do for myself everyday. I have purchased a small tart burner for my studio, and before I begin the day, it is lit, and it creates such a wonderful work environment.

So find a great scented candle, and treat yourself today.........you deserve it.
