A very good friend gave me this cute little wooden recipe box one of her daughters painted her as a child. She hoped I could give it a new look.
With Fusion Mineral Paint's new limited release color called CUREiously, with $1 for each can sold going to cancer research, I knew it would completely transform it. I also knew I wanted to auction it off with ALL PROCEEDS going to the Canadian Cancer Society.
Step one was to take off the solid brass RECIPE and lid

Canadian Cancer Society as well as I offered free shipping anywhere in Canada. I was so happy to have it sell for $50, thank you Shelley C and thank you
Fusion for the fun color.
