Easy Project from a Flea Market Find

This was a spoon rack in a former life. The kind that hold collectible spoons of the month. You already know I love spray paint. It kills two birds with one stone. It is also a way to display our mother's hankies. Some of which have beautiful handiwork.

curious about how you keep the fabric in such beautiful condition. Do you frequently dust or launder the pieces? I guess we can't expect our family heirlooms to last forever, but it would be nice to know how to preserve them.

They were in a little wooden box for a long time. I think that they were just well preserved. Happy you like my little project. A friend found the idea on pintrest I think. We have done a lot of spray paint projects.
