~Aqua~


Finished painting my .50 cent frames and did a little stenciling on background papers~~


Used the "autumn" bucket for some aqua Christmas~~spray painted the branches white and re-used the same jute bow~~several big pinecones and faux greenery~~

Below~~my inspiration junk finds~~






I add a little Christmas decorating to our Thanksgiving; we aren't all going to be together at the same time on Christmas~~this is my way of bringing the two holidays together~~



Using Krylon "mirror image" spray paint~~to a huge glass container with a flameless candle inside~~


Can you see the stamped "vintage Santa"?  I love this image~~


Need to re~do some Christmas type pillows~~the fern pillow is the right color, but not happy with the summery look~~so making something different for the slipcovered chair~~eventually!



Still working on this room and finishing up my tables~~hope to post my results by the end of the week~~sun is out today so we'll be working on the siding and windows; and getting the on~going list ready for Thanksgiving.  I can hardly wait til the kids come home~~~

I'm linking up here for these fun parties~~

    This is beautiful!!! I love it all. That jute bow is TDF!!! Hard to believe that is supposed to be used to support upholstered seating! Those aqua Shiny Brites are fab as well!

    The mirror image spray paint did a great job! I've never heard of that but will soon be buying some. Looks like mercury glass. Thanks for the tip. Your vignettes look lovely. Happy Thanksgiving. Oh, and I LOVE the soft turquoise Shiny Brite ornaments. Nice find!

    I love your touches of aqua with the stencils and the burlap. Great mix of textures. I picked up some aqua ornaments after Christmas last year and you've given me some great ideas for them.

    This made my heart skip a beat. I use a bit of turquoise in my kitchen/family room Christmas decor. This is so darling! Love the stencil graphics. I have vintage ornaments in that same box. Some of my fav's.
