*************************

I had some time for a quick project last weekend...

I found these totally rad

Terra cotta trees at Homegoods a few weeks ago.

Honestly, we cannot have anything in our yard...

it either gets chewed up or blown away!

My very first thought when I saw them 

was that they would definitely be survivors!  

But the only problem was, they were kinda ugly. ;)

I was planning to run to Hendersonville to pick up some of that gorgeous Antibes Green Chalk Paint, by Annie Sloan Chalk Paint...but I just could not find time to get over there with the La Plates show & the stomach bug & the Turkey day preparations...

Isn't is pretty,

Antibes Green...

sigh...

My mommy is an art teacher.

She's the original crafting tramp in our family. ;)

She lent me some pretty green acrylic paint &

some totally RAD gold.

That pretty green just spiffed them right up!

 Then I went back over them a bit with the gold....

I finished them off with some Annie Sloan, 

delicious Primer Red dots...

(( see if you can guess what I used to make my dots...))

I finished them off with 

a good coat of clear gloss spray paint.

 & the best part...

they FIT right on top of my urn pots

on the front porch,

just like they were MADE to go there!

I love that!

I'm pretty tickled with them. :)
