Dress Form Makeover

Dress Form Makeover

Do you have that one item that you always keep your eye out for when you're shopping?  I'm always looking for a dress form at auctions and thrift stores and garage sales.  It would make a great gift *hint*hint* or if you've got one laying around you'd like to recycle to me I'd be ever so delighted!

I'd love to have one to decorate with as well as be functional so I could 'play' with design and see it in 3D.

Until then... I was super excited to find this little lady at a Goodwill Store in Ft Wayne Indiana.  I highly recommend the Goodwill off Exit 25 on 469!!  It was super neat and clean and the employees were very friendly and happy to be working.

Here she is my $5 bargain!

We'll call her 'Goldie' - she doesn't look so good above...  She's a candle holder but I think she'll make a great place to hang some necklaces on too!!

Here is 'Goldie' in her own little black dress (aka Rustoleum Gloss Spray paint).  What a BIG difference a little spray paint can make!

I also found this awesome lamp there - I'm not sure what to do with it... It's one of those pieces that caught my eye right away but I left alone because I really didn't know what to do with it...  Either way $5 later he's mine - we'll call him 'Blue Bandit' since he stole me eye the first time I laid eyes on him...

Any idea what to do with him or where to put him?
