Before And After

Just a couple of little things today...
I found a small bag full of assorted hand-painted animal ornaments  from Mexico at a thrift store.
 I liked them, but I didn't much care for the matte finish on them:

I don't know whether you can really even tell the difference between the photos, but I coated them with some Mod Podge, and now they are glossy, and I like them much better.
There was a cute little red ladybug, too - but I gave that to my friend Heidi.

And I also rescued this kind of sad-looking and dusty vintage covered glass jar from a thrift shop:

"Viva Of California
 Original Specialties
 We're Designing For You"

Sorry, Viva, but I didn't care much for the design.
I removed the little dried flower arrangement (saving some of the little flowers), washed the jar and lid, and used it as a candy jar to hold Hershey's Kisses for Valentine's Day, instead!

Much better.
