Chalk Paint - My first attempt

And I love it! :)  I had purchased an old toolbox that had really seen better days.  I used Jamielyn's mix over to I {Heart} Nap Time - How to make chalk paint.   It worked like a charm.  I hope you'll stop by her site and give her a hello and check out her post on how to make chalk paint.  

This is my toolbox I painted and filled with goodies and topped with my cast iron fairies.  Three for each of my grown daughters.  Every time I look at these sweet fairies I think of them.  They are all three very close in age and at one time all resembled these little fairies in size and features.  Well minus the wings. ;)

hmm..my table looks warped in this photo.  It's not.  It must be how the morning light is coming in the window on it.

I hear a freeze is close to nipping my flowers here. *sigh*  Have a wonderful Fall weekend!

Getting all comfy cozy....

Enjoying Fall and beginning of my settling in for the winter. My new addiction....tablecloths.  Well not exactly new...but renewed?  I just love this new to me huge doily. I would never have the patience to make a doily this large...but it was easy paying for one. ;)  My first attempt at creating a doily ended up the size of a coaster.   Seems I've been on a mission lately buying up all the cotton vintage tablecloths I take a fancy to.  *grin*   I'll have to take some photos of them another time.   

I've not been on a whole lot in the past few days.  Between my wifi acting up and my youngest granddaughter being involved in a horrific car accident (5 deaths) this past weekend.  I haven't thought much about updating out here.  She's coming home today from the hospital hopefully.  So that is good news.  :)

I'll be trying to catch up on your many many blogs that I have missed this weekend.  That is if leaf raking doesn't take priority. *sigh*  Can't they just all fall at once..so I can rake just once? ;)
