Wow, I have a lot to share on my blog but in order to procure all this funness I have put 400 miles on the Prius odometer. So I will get it all organized and imaged up pretty, ( I hope).
My sojourns to the DC burbs are always a sweet treat, especially because I hook up with my BFF Beth and assorted partners in crime.
So I will get this all posted next but before that I wanted to share a recent thrifted find. I love it, not just because the thrift store had summed it up and tossed it into the fugly zone (priced $1), but because it is a fabulous before/after garden junk makeover.
This wonderful "planter" is curled wrought iron painted gray. Did you know that in the hardware store they sell outdoor paint in a battleship gray? I see so many outdoor ornies painted this hardware store gray. ugh.
Beth and I had a smashing good time at the Big Flea and my weekend visit in general. I have pictures to prove it!! I have a fabulous prom dress to photograph, you just wait!
Hi,
Oh goodness – what fun you had shopping and what a great planter you found. The green paint makes such a difference. Can’t wait to see your new prom dress – knowing you it will look adorable.
Have a lovely week.
Blessings,
Erin
