I Need A Snickers Bar!

Hey boss, my back hurts! I better eat a snicker's bar before I turn into Rosanne Barr. Ha!
 I'm tired and my back hurts... LOL. No, seriously! There's this one for a customer, then afterwards I painted and distressed two noodle boards, rolling pin keep, and another shelf I'm working on.
See my new old spice jars? I'd been shopping around for and found me a set of vintage Griffith's spice bottles for a cool $50 that I couldn't pass up. White milk glass with embossed labels, not paper and in very good vintage condition. I needed them since I let my other spice jars go.
 By the time this one rolled around, I was too pooped to do a full staging, but it still looks good without.
No worries though, today I'm back at it with a full tank of gas for this one. I know, I know, I couldn't let it go. I just had to paint it.  I really like how it turned out. It is listed on etsy for sale.
So now that my tank is empty again, this ole gal is going into the prone position for some R & R and kitty kat tlc. I bid you fairly well until next we meet.

Those spice jars are quite the find. I only seem to find them with paper labels.

Your cabinets would be nice for sewing supplies too, lots of space for spools and notions. I love using old wood shelves and things on the walls to hold things in.
