FINALLY Furniture!

I have a basement (heck, a garage full) of furniture that has been dying to be painted. I finally decided that I needed a goal. So I doodled a lovely little list of things that needed to get done and I am FINALLY crossing things off my to-do list. It feels good :)

Here are a few sneak peak pictures of items my sister and I have been painting.  They will be available for sale (with the exception of the high chair which is sold)... All items have been made with Miss Mustard Seed's Milk Paint which you can find at The Cottage Collective in Wichita.  Miss Abbe Doll has a LOVELY new blog with how-to tutorials on how to mix and use milk paint. I recommend checking it out.

 Keep checking back on new furniture... I have some pieces that just need a little sanding and waxing before I post. and because I got super organized, I even had time to make new signs :)

Don't forget, you can come make a sign too :)  For more info go here.  I will be announcing some pretty awesome secrets at this painting party, you won't want to miss!

The Fourth on the Eleventh

While I love what this holiday stands for... I am a little on the nervous side with fireworks.

I do not like them.
The "fire" part scares me.
They are noisy... and not good for peoples hearing (that is the speechie coming out in me)
Fireworks make a mess.
They cost too much...

While there are many things I don't like about the Fourth, there are just as many reasons why I do like it.

I like that we get to meet up with neighbors, friends, and family.
The food is always yummy (I am sad I did not get pictures of the AWESOME spread we got to eat)...
I made these two desserts: Butterfinger Caramel Cake & Mary's Mason Jar Cheesecakes
and I can't deny how beautiful the night sky is with the fireworks, regardless of the silly reasons I listed above.
Oh, and the most important part... it stands for FREEDOM, it stands for being UNITED, and it stands for all of those men and women who have served or are serving.

Hope you all had a great Fourth.

On another note... I (along with my cousin Madi) have been busy painting furniture. I am going to post photos this weekend, check back :)
