A Little Bit of Everything Weekend

This weekend had a little bit of everything for me. It started on Friday when I went to Hobby Lobby and browsed their clearance section and found these great little pieces...



A large candleholder for $4!



This cute little lighthouse! I did pay $8 for it but it was the right height for what I had in mind.

Both of these pieces, of course, were SCREAMING "PAINT ME!!"

SO....


My husband, son and daughter quickly went to try out the tag-along that we borrowed from my sister-in-law. He tends to cringe when I get out the paint.



I dug into my collection of spray paint. I chose a cream color for the candle holder and a basic white for the light house.



Put the them both into a box because......



my other projects tend to make their mark on the driveway....

oops!


While they were drying we decided to go to our county fair for some of the best junk food EVER.....



ELEPHANT EARS!!!!!



After our bellies were full we went back home and I finished putting the finishing touches on my pieces.


I sanded them a bit and on the candle holder I placed a cute little aqua ribbon with a starfish ornament that my mom bought me a while ago.

I thought that it looked perfect there!




The only thing that I added to the light house was the blue thin ribbon for the rails.





We also went to a local antique store and I found this great old wooden tool box that I am going to re-new this week.


Stay tuned to see how it turns out!!
