An "As Simple as it Gets" Project...


If you've been following me for a while, you know I love an EASY project, and I love graphics! This so simple project combines both!  Recently, I found some little paper clip-on chandelier shades at the thrift store and decided to use one for what I had in mind...I was going to stencil it, but a rounded shade like this isn't the easiest piece to stencil cleanly...


Then I thought of these... 



I dug into my vinyl sticker letter stash and just quickly added a fun graphic to the shade.  With an old tarnished silverplate candlestick and a flameless candle...it is vintage with a modern twist!  Of course, you wouldn't want to use it over a flame or heated bulb, but it works perfectly here!



I love the bit of whimsy it adds!



I am joining Debra at The Marketplace at Common Ground 
with some fun etsy goodies!  Hope you'll stop by, too!

Also joining Brenda at Cozy Little House for
Tweak It Tuesday

Linda at Coastal Charm's
Nifty Thrifty Tuesday 
 and
Wendy at Young Heart for her Weekly Thrifted link party
  
Until next time...
