Help I Need A Facelift!


Here they are ~ two garage sale thermoses.  So much promise,
but they are faded and in need of an intervention.  In their hearts
they are two thermoses ready for a transformation ... and after going
under the knife ~ drum roll please ...




They are renewed and refreshed!  All they needed was an in office face lift!




Ready to meet their public at the picnic.




One quick cover of a vintage oilcloth print and they are transformed.






Congratulations Dr Bentley for a job well done.  Thank you
for consulting on this case Dr Susan!  Don't mind us ~ Bentley and I
just finished watching the Tony's and are feeling quite theatrical.

While we are taking our bows, please go visit ~

Table Top Tuesday

Rednesday

I am thinking of writing a
Broadway play about Yorkies ~ do you want to pitch it Bentley?

Hugs,
Susan and Bentley

    They look fantastic. I'm not sure how you did it though. Is the oil cloth like a contact paper? I have a few old thermos bottles down cellar I would like to fix up to look as lovely as yours.

    Susan,

    Please come back to Blue Monday and link in again. Your original link was defective, and I can't fix it.

    What a sweet idea! I often pass finds like this up, just because I am not attracted to them. But with the face lift! Now I want to get one!
