I have a few thank-yous to address frome some awesome blog friends!

I won a giveaway from Allison at Fab Rehab and received a whole box of supplies, including loads of fun zig-zaggy painters tape! She even threw in a couple of things to keep the kids busy so I can paint! πŸ™‚ Thank you so MUCH, Allison! And please pay her a visit- she is a fellow furniture facelifter, and has done awesome projects including these…

Lovely, aren’t they?  Go pop over and say hi to Allison!

Andi made me this adorable antique brass nest necklace! I love it!  Before you look at these pictures, let me just say I am not wearing any makeup, and it is rainy here today, thus hair issues…  But that necklace sure shines anyhow!

 And I love to pair it with my owl necklace from Ali!  Andi has a brand spankin’ new etsy shop where she is selling these necklaces and rings like it! Check it out at Natalily Designs.

And lastly, a gentleman emailed me last week and was cleaning out a barn with his dad and found a couple of old metal owls circa 1970.  He wondered if I would want them…. Would I?  Well yes please!  They arrived Monday, and are awesome!  My husband said they were the cutest he had seen.  I even pointed out to Chris that the owls had swee heart-shaped faces.  He looked at them, looked at me and said, “What can I say?  I am a guy.  I look at them and I see boobs.”  Nice, huh?

 But wait, there is more to this story!  Nick told me that I had inspired him to refinish some pieces to sell as well since they have a new baby to care for.  (And boy, are babies expensive!  But worth every penny.)  He sent me a couple of pictures of dressers he had worked his magic on.  Well, last night I was going through the party links, and what do I see, but Nick’s dresser!!!  He started a blog, Painted on Hartland.  Here are a couple examples of Nick’s beautiful work!
