Weekend wrap up

I got another set of bracelets from Paparazzi this weekend. The picture is not great because my lighting was bad with all the gloom and rain outside. But it has pale pink stones in it. Perfect to wear at my Thirty-One conference.

I did go to Hobby Lobby again when I wasn't feeling so overwhelmed over all the Easter stuff. I fell in love with the little Easter egg shaped saucer. 

And this plate matches the green in my spring tablecloth.

I picked up a plate holder with the thought of getting started on my basket for my table for Easter decor.

And I know I was looking at the wood white bunnies but once I saw this I knew my table needed to be in color NOT in white and tans. I need spring and freshness after all the snows and rains and cold weather this winter. I just love this little guy. He was on sale and I got him for just a few bucks.

I had bought this blue dish over the winter at Old Time Pottery but never found a good use for it. And I had picked up some speckled eggs at Dollar Tree.

I had a vase I wanted to use and I bought a spring of forsythia at Dollar Tree.

I already had a basket I planned on using so I arranged it in the basket and I like my result a lot better than the one I saw on Pinterest. It's more me.

I did pick up the salt & pepper shakers from Dollar Tree I told you about. I can't find the glass paint that makes them opaque but colorful. I will do that later when I can get to Michael's for the paint. So I decided to experiment with a blue. Got the paint for .50 cents at Walmart. 

I do not normally paint because I am messy. But I saw a tutorial where you pour paint INSIDE the bottle and roll and twist to cover then pour excess paint back out into your paint bottle. So I tried that. I did it on a baby food jar first and then on the salt shaker. It was so easy and so fast. As they were drying inside, I was able to put some jute on the baby food jar just to see how that would look. Please note what looks like a color difference on the salt shaker is actually the shadow of the jute string.

Once it dried good, I put some little flowers in it and did the first tier of my three tier stand. Still need to get more stuff for tier two and three before I show you the whole thing. But this is a good start. I just love it.

I didn't want a bow around the salt shaker because it was going beside a beach picture of me and Allen and a little angel with a seashell. So I thought jute would help with the beachy theme.

Just put some baby's breath in it. (Did I mention I keep little odd and end flowers around for just such occasions?) I couldn't be any happier with the result. 

Now I want to do a little red one and put a few small daisies in it for my craft room.
