Happy Halloween.....

This year I decided to paint some pumpkins......and that hat box I bought a couple months ago....is a fabulous way to display for the holidays.....

Have a SAFE one......enjoy this beautiful Fall weather......Boise is beautifully colored right now!

Just a little update.....

finally got one of my chairs painted and waxed....now for the seats....that's the easy part!

The second coat of wax is still drying so I'll let this chair sit for a couple days and then buff and it will be fabulously "Annie Sloan" black. I wish I had a sprayer to use on them but this way at least I'll get them finished. The wax is heavenly......

So hang in there dear ones......they aren't quite done yet.....but dang close!

Remember this is how they began.....

Thanks for stopping by.

Fall is upon us here......and it's beautiful!

Annie Sloan and I........

are working today to turn some chairs I purchased off of Craigslist in Park City, Utah about three years ago.....told you we are finally into our storage unit.......(wink)

                         So here are some before and after photos.......

Hoping that this Grafite is going to be dark enough.....

Maybe I should "ring around Annie".....and invite her over for a spot tea!

 

 

Finally......

Getting back to my blog.....seems my time is not my own ....between wedding season that totally took up so much of my summer..... and classes and just life....time slips by very quickly!
So......florals....ahe yes! My hands are sore from rose thorns and making corsages....LOL....but never the less the Brickman and I have been finally getting around to a few things here at the "old homestead"...well....you know it as the new house....:o) We have had so much in storage and are just getting around to being able to get it out as the heat has subsided and we can get into our units.
I have done several painting projects for a few clients and have just not had time to work on our home. But did throw together over the weekend a small, simple wreath for our large front mirror in our entry. I love the Fall season.....its is my favorite time of year.....

It is very simple but gives us a bit of color for Fall. Then there's a few finds that are new and some that are not. Opening storage boxes that have packed for a few years is sometimes just like Christmas!

And then there is Mr. B. A few teeth missing and a happy camper glad that his dental appointment is over and done with....Minus 8 teeth...all in front....he is doing very well!

 

 

 

I'll try to be better about posting more frequently than the past few months. I have some fun classes coming up and a great Mini-Album for Halloween.....hang in there and thank you ALL so much for the mail.....I am alive and well......so you be well and have a fabulous week!
