~ Beauty is in the eye of the beholder ~


People kept passing it by, only seeing the ugly celluloid ovals.

She picked it up and shyly asked the dealer the price.

The item was bought for a song. She took it home, and pulled out the cracked panels.


Because in the eye of this beholder, the beauty was here. . .

Add flowers and the picture is complete

I love finding a diamond in the rough....something that quickens my pulse when I see it...because I know where I can take it. Did your heart beat a little faster when you saw this piece? I'm betting yes. Beautiful!
