Surprise!

ok ok, enough waiting...here is the surprise my dad got me from Goodwill!  Isn't it great?  It's solid wood and had great lines, good eye dad.

it had been painted several times, several different colors, including hot pink...

just needed a little sanding, some new hardware (which I got for $0.50 at the habitat restore) and some paint...

These pictures are really dark for some reason, sorry about that...

and good 'ol honest Abe...I've been wanting a bust for a while, preferably a larger one and I happened to find this one at Goodwill for $0.99 and thought it was just too cute.  It's actually an old Avon perfume bottle.  Who wouldn't want their perfume in a bottle that looks like Abe Lincoln?!? ;)  Anyways, it will work for now, but I've still got my eye out for something bigger
