This week's Thrifty Thursday post has nothing to do with stitching at all - it is just something I came across yesterday that I could not resist! I love this colourful firescreen I found at the Salvage Center. It is sturdy, made of painted tin, and makes me smile every time I look at it. The price on the still attached tag is for $45.00 which I wouldn't consider a bad price but probably would never have paid. So when I saw it there and asked for a price and was told $10, I thought why not treat myself? I came right home and set it up in front of the woodstove and it is jumpstarting my urge to decorate for the holidays!
So, here it is... finished! Once again, this was a workshop taught by Kim Beamish. I love her projects- they are such fun stitches. Managed to frame this one myself with a thrift store frame complete with matts that I repurposed and I am very pleased with how it turned out. I will be stitching this again because I messed up several times and want to do it again and get it right. Even with the mistakes I made though - I love it!
