This $2 garage sale frame has been sitting in my home office since July. Yup, July. I kept knocking into it this past week so something just had to be done with it: I have been wanting to use this Graphics Fairy image for a while now. I printed out the image onto transfer paper and ironed it onto a piece of scrap Osnaburg fabric. I gathered up some random French-y pieces to add as well. I...
I'm so happy that my kitchen is finally finished! My husband did everything himself so I can take 0 credit. You can see a bit of the before here.

I have a ton of these apothecary jars on hand at all times. Whenever Michael's or AC Moore has them on sale, I stock up because they really work well for any holiday-inspired projects. Of course this morning, I decided to do a Halloween one. I printed off the arsenic image from The Graphics Fairy (did anyone else notice Martha Stewart Crafts has a very similar label too?
