A Dry Sink Do Over!!

 Hi Sweet Friends,

I tackled a new DIY project
last week and wanted to show
you what I had done.

I bought this cute little Dry Sink
a couple of weeks ago and thought
it would go well in my antiques booth.
This cute Dry Sink was "stark" white
and I felt it need some depth of character.

And soooo





 I bought a tube of heavy body Acrylic paint in a tube by Liquitex in Neutral Gray.
 I thought black would be too harsh a color...I think the gray worked out really well.


Using the heavy bodied
acrylic gave me some play
and flexibility where I wanted
the color to go. I also kept a damp
cloth close by if I did not like what
I did, I could just wipe it off and start
again.

I lined the drawer as well with 
some cool vintage book pages
with Mod-Podge in Gloss/luster.








So her the little Dry Sink sits...waiting for someone to fall in love with it!!!
So my friends what have you been up to lately??


Don't forget my Giveaway is still going on till
the 20th of February.

Create something beautiful...or just dream beautiful thoughts

Love and Grace,

Susan

    Dear Susan,

    I love how you spruced up the little dry sink. I also love your antiques booth. I wish you much success with it. I have been having so much fun with my new hobby (blog land) and I will never forget how sweet you were to me when I reached out to you. I have been making some fun things too!

    Happy Valentine's Day!

    I love the shabby chic applied elegance...sometimes pure white just won't do! Great job.

    Ciao bella.

    Absolutely beautiful. Now the funny thing is we have one we are working on now. I have decided to remove the door and keep the one drawer......as id...for a visual different look. I need to line the inside of the drawer. Hugs Mary

My Beautiful Sam Passed Away This Afternoon......

Image
Hello Dear Friends, With an extremely heavy heart I tell you that I have lost my little friend tonight. I thought he was having hairball problems and so my husband and I brought him to the vets late this afternoon. Upon arrival Sam was gasping for breath and they rushed him into a room and gave him ogygen. The nurse asked us if she could take an x-ray to see what was going on. When the nurse came back to the room she told us the devastating news, that Sam had a tumor next to his heart and that his lungs were filled with fluid. I was just floored....I am still in shock. We had Sam for 4 1/2 years and he was...well how do I explain to you the love that he gave us....he was always there for me....he would lie by my side in bed when I was ill and after two major surgeries....he would eat, have is water, and just stay with me. I always said he was a gift from God and he truly was. Tonight this is what I have learned.....even after my Sam has passed away he leaves this last gift   ....

Friends and Flowers

Hi Blogging Friends, I wanted to share this lovely bouquet of flowers that was brought to my door this afternoon. My dear friend Maggie sent these to me for my birthday.....they are so Beautiful and Maggie is an absolute doll to think of me. I know we all talk about our friendships here in blogland that we have found, and I know we appreciate each other very much. My life has changed so much in the last 9 years. I have had many surgeries and things going wrong physically which limited me quite a bit. Since 2003 I have not been able to drive anymore and that in itself was a big blow to me. I inherited a rare disease of the corneas in which I have had multiple surgeries for over the years, hence no more driving. Well I can go on but I will stop there. The real point in all of this is I have been lonely and needed somehow to connect with people and then I discovered the World of Blogging!!  WOW...I never dreamed that I would meet such loving and caring folks....
