A Few More Thrifties...

I picked up a few more things at the local thrift over the past few weeks and didn't get around to blogging about them.

This totally cool vintage orange beaded purse. It isn't my style or my color, but it just looked so summery and kept calling my name (I don't know how it knew it!)Another project - a little footstool with a horrible cover. Another woman at the thrift started to take this right out of my shopping cart (the nerve)! She looked all innocent and said "Oh! Was that yours? It's just what I've been looking for."
What do you think -- should I paint the wood or leave it as-is? I'm tempted to paint it something light and shabby chic and then recover it with a retro barkclothAn unusual large basket. I think of it as the 'Moses in the Bullrushes' basket, but it doesn't look very watertight. It's large enough to be a laundry basket, but has no handles. Hmmm...
