We spent much of our weekend, cleaning the yard and taking the boys into Manhattan, so I didn't have time to devote to any projects. And the boys are off from school this week, so I'm sure I'll have even less time for crafting but here are a few things I worked on, picked up and have plans for. I picked up this pretty spring wreath at a garage sale literally a stone's throw from...
I picked up a vintage metal bulb planter at a local garage sale last summer. I wanted to give it a quick makeover and a new purpose: a photo holder. I didn't think to take a before picture - boo! This is a side view so you can see that it is indeed a bulb planter. I started by giving it a few coats of white spray paint. Once the paint was dry, I used...
I was able to get some spray painting in this weekend. Yay! First up was this bunny that I picked up at a garage sale about a year ago. I wasn't jazzed about the original coloring so I gave it a quick makeover with a few coats of white spray paint. Here's the after: I'm loving it much more now! It's amazing what a few coats of paint and some tea-stained seam binding can...

I originally bought them to redo as shelf sitters but the more I look at them, the more I like them for Easter. You know me, I never met a Mason jar I didn't like. I also picked up this...
After two disappointing trips to two different Goodwill stores yesterday morning, I settled for a little painting using Mason jars I already had. I used some Annie Sloan chalk paint in Louis Blue, which is the perfect pastel hue for this Pinterest-inspired makeover. I gave them an Easter touch with some faux moss and egg soaps - both of which can easily be switched out if I feel like adding candles or summer decor at...
It seems spring has finally sprung in my neck of the woods. After a kind of freaky snow/slush mess yesterday, we have beautiful blue skies today and our yard is slowly waking up! Our tulips and daffodils are popping up all over the yard. I'm not sure what these little white flowers are. I do know they are poisonous and oh-so-pretty. Love this touch of color! I even opened up the tea room to let...
