Bringing Shawnee Pig to Life

Have a pig cookie jar that came from my Grammie Eilene years ago. It's a 1942 Shawnee model. Through the years the original paint slowly faded away and, after a certain ex-husband put it in the dishwasher (hello...1942 pig here) it ended up naked.

I decided to decoupage and paint it so it would give it more oomph. Spent several evenings pouring over napkin styles on Amazon before selecting the right ones - hydrangea along with a western blue bandana.

Here's the after!  Turned out so cute! Applied a coat of triple thick gloss to protect it and bring out the shine. 😊🐷
