Happy Spring! I’ve been thrifting again (are you surprised?!). I am trying to decorate my house on a budget and I keep finding all these amazing things at the thrift store! Today’s project is a simple one, but sometimes you have to think outside the box a little in order to find the beauty in a piece.
It’s Springtime at the Hepworth House and I’ve been painting and crafting like crazy trying to get ready for it.
I bought this stand and wooden box as a set at Gwill for $1.99.
(I showed you it mid March in Keepin’ Myself Busy.)
I am using the wooden planter for another in-progress Spring project, so I was left with just the frame. I totally lucked out and found this platter at Wal-Mart on clearance. I bought it and prayed it would fit.
(It fits!)
Part one of this post is a success!! Now for part two…
I am jumping on the Dollar Store bird-wagon!
Aren’t they just adorable? Well, the shape at least (not the color)?!
A little Heirloom White spray paint later…
So now I have this stand and these birds… hmmmm…
I decided to “kill two birds with one…” Wait. That is not an appropriate phrase for this, is it?
Throw in a little moss…
Chirp. Chirp.
Check back tomorrow for a fun Spring vinyl project!!!

This is my first time visiting your blog and I totally love it! I love the crafts, your sense of humor, the bargains you score, EVERYTHING!
Congratulations on a great blog, I shall return often.
Greetings from Mexico
How Cute! 😛
I love getting deals like that at Goodwill- I don’t get there as often as I’d like, but I love making something better from what was someone else’s “junk”. I love the white color for the birds and the moss just makes it perfect. You have a great eye!
You did a great job! It is very creative and looks lovely.
Adorable!! Love the birds! I would have walked right by them I think. Well spotted.

You gotta love it when things just fall into place! It is so sweet. I love it.
Very cute! I was thinking that you were going to stand the platter up in the base!
so cute! everywhere i go i look for stuff i can spray paint white!
How lovely. Be blessed. Cindy
Oh, you are good! Very very Good!
That is adorable! I can’t believe the luck, that the plate fit on the metal thingy. Love the look. And the birds, I love knowing you can spray paint them and they look great. What can’t you spray paint, right?

Love it. You’re turning me into a Goodwill Shopoholic!
that looks fantastic! love how the little birds turned out!
Allison, you’ve done it again. This is super cute. I have a few of those dollar store birds lying around. They’re too sweet to pass up for a buck.
I would never believed in a million years that those birds could look so classy. I love this. You keep me coming back always looking for all the awesome projects you do.
I absolutely love these! They are really great!
WOW! Those birds are quite the transformation… I really need to start looking at things with your eyes!

I love what u did with the neat birds. Birds and all the stuff goes 😉 with them I love, Birdbaths, Nests,bird houses Etc.
