a makeover so small its more of a "look what i found" post

a few weeks ago i found this wooden shoe form at the thrift store for $1.  i thought it was so funny that the previous owner had tied a ribbon and hot-glued fake flowers to it. i think the picture actually flatters this handiwork, it doesn't look all that bad here.  but trust me, it meant to be cute...it just wasn't.  in fact, i pictured the sweetest old granny had made it.

so i gave this old shoe form a new lease on life.

 "before"

and

"after".  i just pulled everything off a tied a little string on. clean and simple.

p.s. this little wooden foot already made an appearance in my japanese tape post.
