I picked up this little wood tray at a local thrift store last week. It was originally an ugly blue/green. After a few coats of Annie Sloan chalk paint, it's now a pretty French tray. At first I painted it white, but the white didn't seem to be covering the old paint very well. So I switched to grey. Much better! You've probably seen this image on The Graphics Fairy. It's one of my favorites!...

They are flexible, yet sturdy and seriously, how cute are...

These books were 50 cents each. Looking forward to flipping through them when I have some quiet time. The little violin ornament I'm going to doll up for the Xmas tree. I found a rooster to go...

I sanded it in random spots for an aged look and added a little lait (French for milk) tag using baker's twine. I'm going to paint the second one white as well. And if I recall correctly, the bottles...
