I still have a few of these large, Walmart peat pots lurking about. I wanted to paint them a color other than white, so I did these using a pretty gray chalk paint from Annie Sloan. I used the tissue paper/Modge Podge method for the image. Normally, when you paint the peat pots white, the tissue paper kind of just blends in. With the gray, it definitely stands out more. At first I...
It all started with this frame. And then this pin on Pinterest. Put those two together and you get this: I almost tossed the frame after it didn't sell at our last garage sale. Something told me to hang onto it. So glad I did! For the DIY, first I used Annie Sloan chalk paint to add a shabby touch to my frame. I then added some vintage sheet music to the back piece of...
School is over for my boys and that means summer is in full swing in our household. Lookie at this adorable printable I found on Pinterest. Love the color. Love the words. It screams summer to me! Jeanine ...

I hit a few garage sales this weekend. Sadly, I didn't score much. Yup, that's pretty much it. The little pitcher was 50 cents. So was the prayer candle. I could not pass up the bag of vintage clothes pins. These are my favorite: skull shot glasses. Now, I am not a big drinker but I do love Halloween and these are perfect for it! I got four of them and they are actually big...
