My thoughts and prayers go out to the victims of yesterday's horrible tornado in Oklahoma. I'm just so heartbroken for the residents of Moore. Hugging my boys a little tighter today.

Remember the little wood tray I picked up over the weekend at a local garage sale? It has officially become part of my beachy porch.
I wanted a little tray to serve drinks and snacks on and well, this was just perfect. I gave it a fresh coat of white paint (a couple actually), did a little sanding around the edges and added the lobster image (from the Graphics Fairy).
I used waterslide decal paper again, although I'm a little nervous since this will be outside. I'm sure the heat and humidity will do a number on it, and I'll have to redo it before summer is over.
For now, I'm enjoying every minute of it. Drinks are served!

Between track, little league and Cub Scouts, I haven't had time to hit too many garage sales. I did pop by one yesterday on our way back from track practice. Scooped up a few goodies for about $5.
I love the vintage look of the Toilettes sign. I can't resist little wood trays so that got snatched up too.
My hubby collects salt & pepper shakers so I grabbed the fish ones for him. The glass ones are for moi.
It's raining here today so I think that's about all I will get to nab this weekend.

I've mentioned before that I'm noticing A LOT of spam comments on my blog. You can probably tell they are fishy because they are almost always anonymous and they say things like,
"What an interesting topic. I'd like to know more..."
Sometimes, it's just gibberish.
Anywho, found a great web article I wanted to share on how to detect spam comments and how to beat them at their own game. Just click on this link (I promise, it's safe and not spam!).

I picked up a pack of these grain sack placemats at Home Goods yesterday. They were only $9.99. I knew immediately they'd be getting a quick Frenchy makeover.
I printed out this great French image from The Graphics Fairy onto iron-on transfer paper. And voila!
Instant French placemats. I would have liked to make the image a little bigger but I only had one sheet of transfer paper left so I had to use the 3"x4" setting.
Isn't the image perfect for them? It's like it was meant to be!
What's nice is they match my grainsack towels from Ikea, and a table runner I made using fabric from Fabrics.com.

Lookie what my Dad made for me! Another whale for my beachy porch!
Yesterday was his 76th birthday and I swear this man has not lost his craft mojo.
I can't wait to hang him up!
