Snow Day Flowers (in a Chalkboard Crate)

February 8, 2012 by Cassie 39 Comments

We interrupt our regularly scheduled program to bring some flowery cheer to your day!
Click here to see today’s earlier planned crafty post!

It is snowing here, too cold to work!  But I managed to finish up a little project I worked on this weekend.  I painted a, old fruit crate with chalkboard paint, filled it with the lovely flowers my brother and Viri gave me, and am enjoying it on this snowy day!  Though it will be landing in the shop soon.
(Clearly I am on a chalkboard kick- there was yesterday’s gold chalkboard, and check out my chalkboard conversation hearts in the background I made from 50 cent wooden hearts I found at the Salvation Army!)

I hope this project brightened your day like it is brightening mine!  And I hope if you are getting snow, too, that you are enjoying the view out the window as well!

    That’s adorable! We actually have daffodils blooming right now because they are tricked into thinking it’s spring down here!

    Wow, I remember snow- I can’t believe this winter! Middle of Feb practically and I could go out and mow my lawn if I wanted too. I love that crate- so simple yet so pretty! I’m ready for spring 🙂

    I’m enjoying the snow today! And your chalkboard crate is super cute, especially with the tulips – one of my favorite flowers! I haven’t used chalkboard paint for a few months. I need to break it out again!

    I love it! I think you ought to keep it. You can use it for so many things and the flowers are beautiful in it. Tulips are one of my favorites…a fresh breath of spring soon approaching. So sweet of your brother and Viri to send flowers on opening day.

    Love this! In my opinion, everything is better with a little chalkboard paint. Tulips are my fav flower, I’ve been buying them for myself these past few weeks 🙂

    Love this fresh pop of colour in your crate upcycle. I’m such a sucker for chalkboard anything, even though I’m a lefty who smears everything that I attempt to write on a chalkboard!
