Happy Monday

I can't believe September is already half over. So far I've accomplished a random assortment of activities, including some landscaping work and cleaning up some of my flea market finds. Remember the rusty old watchmaker's cabinets I got in Hillsville?


I've been working a little each night on the three cabinets, sanding, priming and painting. I found this really great spray paint at Big Lots (don't get me started on the fabulousness of Big Lots... that's a whole other post). Kilz brand spray paint in "pistachio cream" for $1.50 a can! Unfortunately I'm a moron and only bought 2 cans, and now they're out and I can't find it anywhere else. So I got the little cabinet completely finished, but the largest cabinet could really use another coat. I think I'll just let it be and hopefully I'll have enough stuff piled on top and around it that it won't be noticeable. Here's the little cabinet after it's makeover:



Those are actually the same knobs... I just discovered the wonders of Brasso. :) Good stuff.


I also have a card to share. At work last week we threw a little shower for my coworker Mary who is getting married October 4. Her wedding colors are black and white, with flowers in autumn leaf colors. We decided to go with a fall leaf theme for the shower. We had an autumn leaf tablecloth and napkins. I made this little shower card to go with the theme:
The picture came out a little blurry. The "Bliss" sentiment is attached with foam dimensionals and embossed around the edge using my Scor-pal. I lined the envelope with some of the leaf paper to match.
