Anyway, after all of the wonderful and cheap things that the bees have found on Craigslist, I decided to just take a look and see what was available in my area. And, can you believe it, I found something that I loved. I found something that I loved, and it cost peanuts!
Now, usually, when I find something I love, I hmmmm and huhhhh, and ask Sister Pudding what she thinks (she usually loves it), and ask Mama Pudding what she thinks (she usually hates it), and by the time I actually decide that I must have it, it's no longer available. This is exactly what happened to the beautiful and cheap candlesticks.
But this time, I did something very out of character. I immediately emailed the seller, who wrote me back with a phone number. The next morning, as if possessed by the spirit of my take charge little sis, I called her. And at 2:30pm, I was the proud owner of my very own free standing antique aluminum mailbox!!!!!
......Wanna see???
How amazing will this be as a card box? I think that I might have Mr. Pudding paint it (although beautiful, the shabby-chic colour doesn't really mesh with our event). I'm thinking white, with a navy blue "Letters" flap and yellow "Letters". Here's a little close up:
Anyone know how to paint aluminum???
