Remember that mirror I got over the weekend at a local garage sale? Feast your eyes on it now! I actually used the chalkboard paint over the mirror. I didn't know how it would come out but it actually is holding quite nicely. You'll notice it's on the floor because I still can't figure out where to put it. I'm running out of wall space - ha!

Super excited to share this morning's garage sale finds. So many sales, but so little time since my husband's niece is getting married later today.

I bought a bunch of these little chalkboards today for use in my Etsy shop. Here is the first one I did and truth be told, I like it so much, I'm keeping it for moi! I used some Distressed Ink to "age" the wood frame. Then I tied some twine around it and added the coffee-dyed hang tag and French paper.
