I want to show you my pears. I really really like them.
A few weeks ago I bought 3 pears for $1.00 at our Hospice Thrift Store. They looked OK as they were but I knew they would look sooo much nicer in white. Here they are after 2 coats of white spray paint. I bought the little pewter bowl for .50 cents. It is marked Jostens Pewter Paul Revere Reproduction. I priced several on Ebay from $10.00 - $25.00! I also got the little angel candlestick for .50 cents. I think $2.00 is a great price for all these pretties. I almost wrapped them in jute but I'm liking them white. How do you think the pears look in white?
I'm linking this little pear makeover with Susan at Between Naps on the Porch for Met Monday and with Rhoda at Southern Hospitality for Thrifty Treasures Monday. Go visit both parties and you will be inspired with other makeovers and thrifty treasures.
Some great finds, the pears look great!
ReplyDeleteLove the pears. They look great white. Thanks for sharing. Karie
ReplyDeleteThe pears look great! I love the peek at your porch!
ReplyDeleteLove those pears! I can't believe you got them for $1 each -- they're beautiful. And I like the white as well.
ReplyDeleteThose pears are just awesome and I can't believe they were $1! The white looks great. I just love those thrift stores!
ReplyDeleteOh my,this is such a delightful post! I love the setting with all that gorgeous green backdrop and the blue hydrangeas. And your linens are exquisite! I love all your treasures, especially the angel candlestick and the white pear... I like the pear in white, it blends so perfectly with your beautiful vignette. I'm happy to be your newest follower. Would love you to visit me sometime. Have a lovely week!~Poppy

I like the pears in white. You can always change your mind in the autumn and wrap them in jute then.
ReplyDeleteThe pears are lovely in white! Love your hydrangeas too.
ReplyDeleteI love the way your pears turned out, would never have thought about doing that..I have tons of pears around here, may have to try it.. Your hydrangeas are beautiful. I have 2 plants on the East side of the house and have only had 1 bloom in many many years..maybe I need to treat the soil or something.. hugs ~lynne~
