Shall we continue on this crafty theme?

Clearly I have been in a mood lately. A crafting mood.

I've seen people in the "blogosphere" painting thrift store vases and pitchers lately so I thought I would give it a shot.

I found this pitcher and basin(?) at Goodwill the other day for just $2.50.
 I felt a little guilty covering up all the hard work that some machine in China did, but oh well. It needed a new life. 
 I always worry a little when I paint something that some Antiques Roadshow person is going to randomly see this and recognize it as a million dollar artifact.

That I ruined.

But too bad. I like it this way.
I primed it with the expensive primer, and then I used the 97 cent economy spray paint on top. I think it worked well.

Now I need to decide where to put it...
