This is one of my early thrift store makeovers from about three years ago! I found this old jewelry box with a mirror at Goodwill. It's been a while but I think it was $2.99.

How to Paint Glass with Chalk Paint

Recently there have been some painted canning jars for sale at Room With a Past, too. But I could just see in my mind one of these glass florist vases painted and distressed in Memphis Blue (my current favorite CeCe color!)
