~ 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 have one of these things that I got from Julie at Gilded Moons...it has been sitting under my bed while I try to figure out what to do with it! I will give it another look because I just couldn't resist as well! Hope all is well, Anita

    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!

    Thanks for your kind comments,

    It takes a good eye and an open mind to find the beauty beneath the surface ... or should I say...
    Dont judge a book by its cover ..its whats inside that counts....

    STUNNING!!
