Farmer's Market Find

Farmer's Market Find!!!

LOOOOOOVIN' IT!

I found this totally awesome piece for only $6 at our local farmer's market.  Gotta tell ya...if you live here in Canby, OR....you HAVE to check out the FARMER's MARKET!!!

I want to apologize for not posting much this week....my kids have kept me CRAZY busy and I just havn't had a chance.  Thank you SO much for your understanding!

So.....I found this AMAZING  piece at our local FARMER's MARKET!  I didn't know WHAT I was going to do with it but....SOMETHING...had to be done....

Started with this...beautiful cedar piece!

Soooo...what do I want to do....what do I want to dooo...what oh what oh what??  I decided on a centerpiece for the table.  But I wanted it distressed.....so I started with a green I already had....

 see it alllll. green here!

Then...I painted it an off/white/khaki color....

then...I needed to distress it....

I wanted the green to show through...but not tooooo much!

Then...I added a few canning jars...a candle, and a few cuts from my garden pots...adding water to keep them alive.

LOOOOOVE that you came by my blog and I would love even MORE if you left a comment or became a follower!  And be sure to let me know :)  You all keep me alive!  Over  visitors in not even 2 months!!!!!  Thank you!

Zebra Print Table Runner and Tray

Zebra Print Table Runner....And Tray too!

So...I wanted a new table runner for my dining room table and as I mentioned before, I'm trying to add more GREEN!  I saw this fabric at the fabric store and I LOVED IT!  Had to have it!

OH....AND THANKS FOR STOPPING BY MY BLOG!  I WOULD LOVE IF YOU CLICKED ON FOLLOW IN THE SIDE BAR & BECAME A FOLLOWER!  THANK YOU!

Bought a couple tassels to match...and I was in business!

I used a table runner I already had for measurements....

I trimmed up around the edges leaving about 1/4" to hem

And the finished product!  Added a couple tassels and I was done in about 30 minutes!  LOVE IT!

Zebra Tray

So I had some left over fabric and I wanted to cover the bottom of this tray I have had forever.  Just wanted to give it some interest.  But I didn't have a BIG enough piece to cover it soooo.....

I DECOUPAGED WITH FABRIC STRIPS!

So I grabbed a bottle of Elmer's glue left over from 'school supplies' from years ago...

Added some water....

Started dipping the fabric strips into the glue and lining the bottom of the tray.

 Then....I let it dry and it was EXACTLY what I was hoping for!

What do you think??
