Before and After

My new Check Out

I have been looking for a cash register/ check out stand for a while now. I have been using a cute suitcase on a stand but didn't have enough storage. I finally found the perfect piece to turn in a check out stand.

Wheels? I'll take it....this is going to make my job so much easier.

I wanted to create a shelf to add to the front for the customers to rest their check book. Every show I see them looking for an empty space on my tables....to write a check.

I used part of a chair and cut a piece of wood to screw on top and made a shelf. The next idea is so, how should I say it....cheesy? I love the look beaded moulding but didn't have any in storage so....

I used a string of beads and glue it between the shelf and the chair piece.

and voila'
the new stand is ready for the next show!


oh, yes and I drilled a hole to fit a test tube to hold a pen... a "soldered pen".


my lucky duck has a new home.
I really enjoyed working on this project.

Ciao for now
Rita
