But anyway, I went to the Goodwill in search of a little shadowbox I had seen there last week. Last week when I saw it, I thought I might need it, but I couldn't imagine why. Then I came home and saw my 3 little skulls--fox, raccoon and otter--sitting on the bookcase getting all dusty and I knew I needed the shadowbox. I figured it would be gone, but I thought I'd have a poke around anyway. I found this big ceramic dish from Portugal for $6 and knew the dogs needed for a new waterbowl (seeing as how hard they work and all).
And then I found this turquoise frying pan that the house in SC is just begging for. And a great set of spoons. I hope I will get some credit for exercising restraint and not buying this whole set of white china I was aching for. Or the black 1950's diner chairs with brass tacks all along the edge of the upholstery--only $8 each. Sadly, I couldn't think how to fit them in the car.
And the best part of all is that the little shadowbox was still there.
The sad news is it needs to be a little deeper. So now I have to put all the stuff I'm supposed to be doing on hold so I can go build up the back, line the interior, spray paint the exterior, and make a nice little home for the skulls. Right after my nap.
So my twenty minute project turned into an all day thing with two trips to Home Depot, and it's still not finished.
