Our Hopeful Home: paper butterflies

June 3, 2011

Yesterday while driving to my son's end-of-year field trip, I spotted a store that gave me pause. "Community Thriftstore" it said. Since we live a half hour away and don't frequent that town I had never seen it before. Needless to say I was thinking about that store the entire time we were on the field trip! So of course we stopped there on the way home.

The place was h-u-g-e! We didn't have a lot of time to spend, but I did find this little beauty.

I added the shredded paper and paper butterflies (thank you, Jen @ Jenniferrizzo {dot} com ~ Blogger's not letting me link up!) made from vintage book paper.

I know it's small for a "trophy cup", (okay, some might say it's more of a two handled cup) but I've been wanting one for a long time. They're pretty hard to find and they're so expensive. This, however, was not!
