So this is the stool I picked up from the thrift store last week now... It's so petite and I was really excited to give it a fresh look. I first gave it a few coats of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Paris Grey. I wanted to try the wax paper transfer method, but it was an epic fail. I'm not sure what I did wrong, but I could not get the ink to transfer...
Autumn officially starts in two days, but it's in full swing in our house. I created a sweet vignette over the weekend using the old desk in our dining room. The printable is from Pinterest - in case you are interested in printing one out too. I hit my local thrift store on Friday where I scored the wood pumpkins and... ...this cute little stool and black candle holder. I also whipped up some...
Much like my blog, I woefully neglected my Etsy shop this summer. Now that my boys are back at school, I have a bit more time to devote to both. I whipped up some cute silhouette tags earlier this week. I really adore making tags. It's how I started my crafting endeavors years ago. Don't kill me, but yes, I've started making Christmas items.

Looking back at some old blog posts, I usually have a ton of Halloween items made by now. Eek! So last night, I broke out some glass ornaments that were sitting in my craft room since last year, and decided to turn them into Halloween ornaments. For this one, I used...
Hope your holiday weekend is off to a great start! I've been relaxing after a long work week, which didn't leave any time for real crafting. I did manage to arrange a basket o' pumpkins for my porch. The basket is a garage sale find that I painted Paris Grey (Annie Sloan Chalk Paint). I also framed some autumn printables I found on Pinterest. After that, I decided to reward myself with a little retail...
