Another chilly day here. A bit of snow is still on the ground. The ground hog in this neck of the woods saw his shadow on Saturday and you know what that means: 6 more weeks of winter. Sigh! I'm so ready for spring. I'm thinking about warmer days, blue skies and all of the projects I have waiting for spray paint or chalk paint. Too cold to do them. Dreaming of my toes in...
I picked up this little wood plaque a few months ago at the local church thrift store. Last night I gave it a few coats of white paint and decided to make a sweet little French bird plaque with it: I used some waterslide decal paper again.

Then I ran some tissue paper through a printer to get these great French graphics. I used Mod Podge to adhere them to each pot. I...

It was nice and clean but way too early for any real treasures. A lot of Target cast-offs but I did manage to find this sweet pedestal bowl: Not sure if you can see the etching on the sides. I couldn't get a really...
