**Dark photos alert.** Yup, all week we're expecting nothing but rain here and you know what that means for photos. Ugh! Very frustrating but the show must go on and here is one of my latest projects: Jardin 1914 Frenchy Drawstring Bag. I picked up a couple of these drawstring bags at Hobby Lobby last month and couldn't wait to use them. I was inspired by my friend, Susan from Homeroad, who has a bunch...
We had an impromptu garage sale on Saturday so I was not able to hit any sales myself this weekend. I did, however, make it over to Walmart and look at this super cute Mason jar drink dispenser! Can't wait to use this for summer parties. And how adorable are the cups? I also picked up this chevron burlap ribbon and larger size peat pots. I'll probably start working on the peat pots this...
These are the planters I picked up over the weekend at a local garage sale. They were a yucky green hue and had sunflower stickers on them. Not quite my cup of tea. Here they are now. I gave each a couple of coats of white spray paint. I sprayed right over the stickers because I knew I'd be covering them with this lovely French image (courtesy of The Graphics Fairy). I printed the image...

So when I scooped up this picnic basket for $2 at a local flea market, I knew I immediately wanted to copycat. I gave it a few coats of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Paris Grey. I wanted to give it an aged look, so I let some of...
Sharing some of yesterday's garage sale finds. I spent a whopping $7 and lookie what I got! I swore I would not buy any more baskets this year. I'm up to my eyeballs in them. I just couldn't seem to pass this one up though. It's going to get a quick white paint makeover this week - weather permitting. The little flower balls were 25 cents each. Score! Not quite sure what I'm going to...
Still recovering from our mini vacation, but I did find some time yesterday to make some new Frenchy pendants. I bought the kit while I was at Hobby Lobby. It comes with the pendants, some numbers/designs and plastic inserts. The number 2 is from the kit. For the others, I wanted to add a Frenchy touch. Problem is, the pendant space is super skinny. Not too many images will fit into such a tiny space....
