You did a wonderful job, they look great!  May I ask, where did you find them?  I love nutcrackers, I have a large collection from Germany.  Thanks!

Hey Girl!

 

The nutcrackers look really lovely—sort of elegantly aged!

Enjoy them!

Hey you,

Thanks, that was the look I was going for but didn't know it, haha....elegantly aged....(I love it!)

 

I love refinishing, aging, faux finishing things. It's amazing what a little paint can do...

Oh they came out great!  I love 'em! Nice job!  Makes me want to hum the March from the Nutcracker ballet!

Re: I finished my Nutcrackers.....

@GingerHead !!!   I can't believe it--  the pictures this time, don't show up for me.  Remember when you first posted your new finds--  I and most posters could see them, but at least one person ( or 2?) could not?   

 

Well, now I can't, bummer!   I'm sure you did a fantastic job.  If anyone knows how to re-post them in maybe a different format, do tell.  

 

What fun you will have with them in your displays!
