What a Jewel

The little chair was originally used in a home that was built in the 1930’s.  It was picked up and given to a thrift shop in 2006 and hidden in the back of the store until the artists came looking for a sweet item to donate to the Chair Affair.   After Valerie created the chair’s  “look” with her own contemporary and organic style, Sharon felt it needed the touch of jewels.  Like the faux jewels, it is surely now “precious”.
