another month, another post

I was talking to a friend over the weekend who said she had just been on my blog to get suggestions on spray paint and primer. It was then that I realized how long it had been since I had blogged. It gave me the motivation to finish up a couple things today (so thanks Amy!).

The first is a chair I got a garage sale for $1. The best part is the previous owner had done most of the stripping already.


I whipped out my new paint sprayer along with some paint I already had. A little scrub down with a sandpaper sponge and here it is! (Although it is very hard to see the distressing in the picture)


My new favorite find is this 1950's white metal garden cart. The wheels still even work! I had to look three times at the sticker to see it was priced at only $2!
I look forward to our landscape redesign and finding it a permanent home. For now it sits amongst my hydrangeas... which I cannot wait to bloom so I can enjoy them on my mantel.


Finally, I cut some fern leaves out of our yard to use in my ironstone creamer, which was only $1 at my fave thrift store
