antique show 2011...
a few weeks ago the hubs & i headed up to the annual spring antique show near dundas.
all i can say is~ i love this show!!!
every year the vendors are up with what the big trends are in home decor.
this year it seemed alot of the vendors had these old weigh scales that people are using for coffee tables.....they're all the rage(an expensive one at that!)
vintage quilts & blankets.....
vintage tins & toys....
vintage clothing & jewelry.....
bistro sets were really popular this year too....
anything 'coca~cola'....
architectural hardware & other interesting finds....
they even had a table with my name on it...
i didn't come home with anything big, or weird.....
all i came home with were these cute, enamel bowls....
yup, that's it.
i hear what you're thinking...."that's it???"

but i love 'em.

one for the books....
sooo, my evening tonight.....busy.
but i had to quickly jot this one down....
"dan. please set the table."
"k"{as she's looking over her sis's shoulder of pics on elma's blog}
i continue sorting the dirty laundry from the hampers lined up in the front hall.
as i empty her hamper, i tell her...
"run downstairs & put your hamper away & please bring up the 2 laundry baskets sitting at the bottom of the stairs"{thinking she's finished setting the table already}
so, like the good & obedient kid she is, she goes & does what she is told :)!!
i finish up making supper{it's an easy one tonight}....'15 minute taco in a pan'
wayne comes home & i notice the table's NOT set!
"danielle, how come the table's not set?"{said in a louder tone :(}
"what? you didn't ask me to set the table!!"
"PARDON? i asked you when you were looking at the pics on the computer!!"
"oh ya, but then you asked me to put my hamper away & bring up the laundry baskets..... then i forgot to set the table!!"
then she quips....."pre~occupation, mom....it ruins the mind of a genius!!"
eryn's{ the one who was actually on the computer} jaw falls open.....
"she actually sounds smart saying that!!!!"
this is too funny :)
where does she get these sayings???~she has a million of them!!

word art...
this is something that i've been meaning to do for a looooonngg time.
i like word art.
i wanted to put words on canvas so i could move it around, you know, change things up a bit from time to time.
my problem is.....no 'silhouette' cutter~yet.
what is a silhouette cutting machine, you ask?
weeeelll....the silhouette is a digital cutting tool for personal use.
it connects to your computer just like a printer, but instead of printing designs it cuts them with a small blade.
with the machine connected to your computer, you'll get access to all of the fonts on your PC plus the thousands of cuttable designs!
you can create....
scrapbook pages,cards,custom apparel,vinyl décor,etched glass,sketch designs,temporary tattoos&paper crafts
yup, this is what's on my birthday list.
this thing is soooo cool.
anyway, i digress.
this is what i made~so NOT professional looking, but hand made non the less.
my feeble attempt at word art.
it will have to do(until i posses the silhouette)!
i used a small canvas that i had already.
grabbed some old paint from the basement....the colour from eryn's room~benjamin moore's grey mirage.
i then basically dry brushed on the paint, to give it more texture(you can't tell from the pic~maybe if i had used a darker colour, you'd see the effect better)
next, i added the letters.
project....done.
there you have it.
i know the words are not very well lined up....i'm a bad one for just 'eye~balling' things & then getting it crooked.
oh well, too bad....it's hand crafted after all & only cost about $2.50 to make!
my happy!!
these are words to live by.....micah 6:8 {esv}
'He has told you, O man, what is good;
and what does the LORD require of you
but to do justice, and to love kindness,
and to walk humbly with your God?'
