My recent stop at a local Salvation Army thrift store was very exciting for me. 
I found this lovely mirror for our foyer and just knew I had to paint it "Duck Egg" to coordinate with our little table that was there.

This little table was purchased a few years ago at Winner's which is Canada's TJ Maxx.
The Annie Sloan chalk paint is such a nice match to the piece I just knew it would be perfect!

Our area carpet in the foyer was purchased on a trip to North Dakota a few years ago and it looks great with these pieces. Don't you agree?

Thank you for stopping in today. Enjoy the rest of your week.
Hugs,

Dreamy Image

Welcome...
While going through some of my storage pieces I came upon this lovely image.
It is in sepia tones and the paper appears vintage but I can't for the life of me recall where or when I collected it. I hope you enjoy seeing it...

It almost looks like a picture that would have been in a frame when purchased new? No matter, I love it and will have to get it in a vintage silver frame so it shows its beauty.

A few vintage rhinestone brooches...vintage linen and my silver plate tray... 

I have added my little glass scotty dog that my Mother always had in her china cabinet. 

Have a wonderful weekend filled with love, laughter & family...

Hugs,

Hello & welcome

Today I am sharing my floral bouquet that my darling Daughter In Law brought me earlier this week. She sensed I was having a bad day and stopped in for a visit with our two sweet granddaughters. 
I added some of my vintage floral postcards to the silver tray and loved the way it looks.  

We are so very lucky to have this thoughtful young women in our lives. 

Have a wonderful week!

Blessings....

Annie Sloan Chalk Paint Love.....

Happy Wednesday my fellow Blogging friends!
I am sharing our vintage dresser that we use as a linen storage in the dining area. This was my first time using Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in the colour of "Duck Egg". I just love the way it turned out! 

It covered in one coat and I finished the piece with the clear wax that was also purchased.

Very rarely do I paint wooden furniture but this piece was in need of allot of stripping etc if I was to keep it as it was. It really seems to have brightened the space and the colour compliments the other pieces we have used in our condo. 

Below is my before photo. The piece belonged to my Mother In Law so we are so blessed to have it in our Home.

As you can see the colours in the living Room are great together. Now I am checking around to see what else I can paint... 

I hope you enjoyed your visit today. Have a great rest of the week!

Tea Time...

Welcome again to my little Blog...
I am having some Earl Grey tea today... won't you join me?

Last week I had ordered some Annie Sloan chalk paint in "Duck Egg" and this is the first piece I have painted. The wood and wicker tray is a piece I made when I attended basket weaving courses some years ago.

I love the way the crisp vintage linen looks on my tray. My next painting project will be a vintage dresser that belonged to my Mother In Law. We currently use it to store linens in our Dining area. It is going to look fabulous in Duck Egg!

Thank you for stopping in to tea with me, sorry I had no sweets to serve but I am trying hard to shed some extra pounds. Have a wonderful week!

Our Chocolate Set

Welcome 
Today I am sharing our Chocolate Set that my Sweetie gifted me a few Christmas's ago. It is marked Made in France.I hope you enjoy my photos.

We haven't used it yet but someday I look forward to enjoying some hot chocolate.
I think I have been afraid to use it as it is so delicate...

Thank you for stopping in today! 
Blessings,

Wanda
