Tricked-Out Silverplated Pink Compote


This is an older project, but thought I'd post it anyway. I used an old silverplated compote, shabbied it up with a bit of pink paint, & distressed the edges for more Shabby Chic appeal. I then wove a length of mint green ribbon through the filigree openings, added an old pink glass broach & some glass prisms for some BLING.

    Oh, Robelyn, I sold it on Ebay a while back. I'll keep my eye out for the right pieces and make one just for you! Thanks for checking in on me from time to time - I really appreciate it!

Isn't this just a darling girly little tree? I made this with pink tulle fabric, some old glass beads from vintage jewelry, and a pretty rose tea cup!

This is made from an old lamp base and a fancy scalloped ceiling fixture bowl. Whoever buys this will have their birds drinking and bathing in style and elegance!
