FRIDAY FINDS


Looks like it's a Crazy Wonderful kind of week!
Once again, I'm singing the praises of Shelley.
She so graciously agreed to share her favorite find with you all.
Before I hand it over, check out this fabulous fixture she just added to her dining room.
I can't wait to see how this room turns out.
You can follow along on her decorating and DIY adventures here.

Go for it, Shelley......

Hello, hello!  I'm Shelley from Crazy Wonderful, and am thrilled to be a part of Andrea's series!
Isn't Andrea great!  Love her.  And, I CANNOT wait to see what she does with that fabulous wingback she posted about for her first Friday Find.  I wish that was my find!  Her inspiration photo has me adding that chair to my wish list when I'm out hunting for stuff.  Gorgeous. 
So, one of my favorite finds is this old chandelier I picked up at a flea market.

I loved her delicate shape and pretty leaves.  I did not love the scary, old wiring.
ZZZZZAP!!!
So, I ripped out the wiring, sprayed her, and stuck in some taper candles where the old bulbs used to be.
Perfect for right over the tub.  And, I don't have to worry about getting zapped.  Just burned by any dripping wax ;)
One of my favorite parts about it is the scalloped piece that attaches to the ceiling.

She's pretty, and she makes me smile.  Every time.
Thanks for having me over today Andrea!

Such a great find and I love the personality it adds to her bathroom. 
Thanks for sharing.  

Hope you all have a great weekend. 
I'll be busy hosting a birthday party for a special little eight year old boy. 
He knows he's having a party, but the details are a surprise.  Can't wait to see the look on his face!
I'll share details next week.
