Happy day, friends! It's been a couple of weeks. Again, I find myself apologizing for taking so long to post. We have had family in town for a week and my work (yes, I still work a "real" job) moved to a new building last week. It's been super hectic.
While the hubs folks, sister and her kiddos were in town, we managed to sneak away to the auction here in town. We are lucky to have an auction house 2 minutes from our home. It's pretty great - dangerous, but convenient and FUN! If you haven't been to one, you should definitely Google auctions in your area. Even if you don't purchase something, it's a blast! Go in with a budget, though. It's tempting to try to out bid that jerk, ahem, I mean nice man, with loads of dough! Don't do it!

 $10 Auction Steal - BOX O'FRAMES |  Kind of ugly before... |
Hubs and I "stole" this box of frames for ten bucks! Actually, the picture of the box above is short about 5 frames (I had already taken them out to work on when I took the photo). Some of them were old, some not so much. Actually, I guess some were probably vintage 80's, haha, I guess for some of you, that might be old. Anyway, Everyone loves a good frame, right? They were mostly wood, but there were some metal ones in there too.
ASCP mix of Florence and Pure White. I painted complete, waited for it to dry and then took a wet rag and rubbed the raised edges, so the silver would show through.

I painted these up with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint, waxed them and added some pretty scrapbook paper. I know the 4 together are a little crazy as far as color combinations go, but I try to mix it up a bit when thinking about what will go in the shop. What floats my boat might not float yours!
The ever present wet paint rubber/stepper/sitter, Baby.
Pretty little bird frame looks nice on the hutch! Alas, I have decided to stop hoarding everything and am selling this one in the shop!
Thanks for stopping by, my friends! I'm hoping as summer winds down, I'll be able to post at least once a week. Who knew that working full-time, painting AND blogging could take up so much time, haha!
Until next time...
