I'm really enamored with painted peat pots. They are so easy to dress up. And really fit anywhere in the house. I like to give them a French touch or two. Yup, it must be love! Linking to Faded Charm: White Wednesday. Jeanine ...
I was browsing the Pottery Barn site the other day and came across these pretty numbered frames ($39 for a set of three): (Photo courtesy of Pottery Barn) When I saw these oval frames at my local church thrift store on Friday, I knew immediately that I could do something similar with them.
