Thrifty Little Lantern

Found this wonderful lantern for a whopping 99 cents at a local thrift store in town.
"Wags to Riches", is run by the Guernsey County Pound Partners.

While, I love the lantern; the green doesn't really go with anything else in my home.


Ta-Da!! A coat of Rustoleum paint does wonders!


Its definitely an "All Season" item. I can see it used with birch sticks and/or antlers for Fall and Winter, with skinny pencil Starfish in the Summer and Forsythia or Peonies in the Spring.

A Fall look is what I want right now.

Check out the antlers.
They are real.
They came from one of my youngest daughter's hunting seasons.
Yes, she killed it herself.


I must be fashionable in the decor department these days.:)

POTTERY BARN is using them too.

Maybe I need to find a little white pumpkin to add to the vignette? :)

  7. I am lovin the antlers! In my part of Florida there is lots of deer hunting so I am used to seeing trophys on my friends wall! I dig that Pottery Barn sees the beauty in them too!

  9. LOL! I will have no trouble finding antlers in my house...my husband and 3 year old love to go out looking for "sheads" plus my husband has been hunting since he was 5...getting at least 2 deer a year...the man cave is over run with those things!

    And I always tell my husband that dead animals are not decor...laughs on me!
