It's holiday time . . .

"All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go . . . "

I'm off on a wee holiday for a few days,  so it's the usual mad rush to get everything organized and packed. 

But before I go, here's a wee bit more about my adventures with Annie last weekend . . .

Firstly,  invite artistic & fellow creative friend around for the day {with promise of roast lamb for dinner, and reciprocal assurance that she would in turn bring yummy pudding},  then cover kitchen table and spread dust sheet over floor {the initial plan was to work outside, but the morning rain foiled that one} and then at last,  let the fun commence . . .

 

Take a bunch of various old bits of charity shop finds . . .

 and some other bits & pieces . . . 

 

. . .  add some Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in a variety of oh-so-pretty colours . . .

and let the painting begin : - )

 

Oh this is sooo much fun . .
As a few of you predicted, I think I am addicted !  I keep looking around the house and mentally ticking off all the things I could paint . . .
Ok, so I know these pics look like we just used "Original", but I assure you there was "Old Ochre", "French Linen" and "Antoinette" involved too.

The two most-adorable-pups-in-the-world initially watched with interest, but soon the idea of a nap in the sunny spot proved more alluring.

Watching paint dry really is sooo boring . . . ZZzzz

But I'm afraid you'll have to wait 'til I return from my hols before I can show you the end results, as I'm not quite finished yet.  Still some sanding and waxing to do.  So that's a table, a mirror, and a cake stand added to my WIP list . . .

Arrivederci for now,

catch up when I get back.

'til then, take care and be happy . . .

xoxo
