A Welcome Find

My favorite find this weekend wasn't a piece of furniture, frame, bottle, etc.  It was this weathered welcome plaque with cherubs.



I'm not going to do a thing to it.



It was 50 cents, and I love it just the way it is.

    You could always make a mold of it and then create more from that mold out of plaster. Just to cute to be only one of them.

    It appears as if it has been given the gesso already. Sometimes it is the fifty cent pieces I find that I like the best.

    Great find! Sometimes the HARDEST thing for me is to leave something as it is -- great choice to do that with this.

    Great find and to think it was only .50. Somethings don't need "fixin' up" and look perfect just the way they are.

    I love the outdoor pots that I saw on the post featuring you - No Minimalist Here. Are those available for purchase? There were cherubs on the front. Fingers crossed.
