It's a blue summer

Hello,

This summer, I have the blues-teal blue, spa blue-everywhere I look it's blue! I've never really been a huge blue fan. I usually prefer pink or red. But I can't resist this summer's blues!

Here's a few cute pics from my booth. The first is a coffee table my daughter-in-law bought and painted teal blue. Second is a bookshelf we painted and distressed in spa blue. Third is an unworking chandelier that I painted antique white and added tea lights and teal crystals. So cute in a bedroom or garden! Last, but not least, is the adorable high chair my daughter-in-law bought at the antique mall and painted teal blue-her fav color! It's all set up for our grandbabies first bday party.

Have fun being blue!

Succulents

Hello,

I've noticed succulents showing up in design mags and store displays this year. They have a quirky and charming appeal. My gf planted some in an small aluminum chicken feeder we found at a recent yard sale for $1.00. I also planted a few in my window boxes along with the flowers and herbs. Maybe you can find a way to encorporate them into your vintage decor or garden.

Take care,

Di
