My local church thrift store has been a little hit or miss lately, so I was super excited with my latest haul! I picked up three Mason jars which I'll be using to create more faux Mercury-glass. I was intrigued by this book. It's from the 1950s/60s and I'm always amazed at what kids did back them. My boys get a kick out of these books too. They don't understand a world without an...
I'm obsessed. I finally picked up a can of Krylon's Looking Glass Spray Paint at my local Ace Hardware. All I can say is: I. Am. In. Love! I found a tutorial on Pinterest detailing how to make your own faux mercury glass-looking Mason jars, apothecary jars, glass bowls, etc. This guy was my first attempt.

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...
