Last Blooms of Summer

My Garden is Literally Bursting with Color
 
 


But in a very short amount of time
all these lovely blooms will be gone....
So I am enjoying them while they last.

On another note.....I found these fabulous letters and numbers recently and
just wanted you to see them....



I love when I can make words out of the random letters found

Have a Great Day!

A Real Farmers Farm Table

This Chippy Paint Door Makes The Perfect Farm Table

Original layers of paint on this door with several coats of poly (polyurethane) to seal it

The layers of paint add interest and dimension

Key hole and handle holes left as is

One of a kind

 

Just happened upon these perfect chairs

Look at the depth and character

I am in total love with this table

Meet our antique ceramic frog.....up for adoption

The original hinge cut-outs.....more character
This is such an easy project....
literally anyone could do it....just add an apron and legs.
The trick is finding the perfect door!
