New Paint........

I thought I would share some pics of my newly painted kitchen, well it was newly painted at the end of September.....To be honest, I painted it twice! I wanted to go with a lighter shade, you know, to brighten things up. Well, I picked a shade waaayyyyy too light, it was almost white & I'm not a white kinda person. So after painting it the first day, I made another trip to Lowes that night and purchased more paint. I re-painted it the next day.

This is the green I got very tired of............


work in progress.....



end result...........



Here are some snapshots of my decorating around the kitchen....there is still lots of work to do, I don't think my kitchen will ever be completely finished....












I made new cheesecloth curtains when I finished with the painting.....



I put this peg rack up yesterday.........



Witchy Fireplace....



When I owned my Shop, I was also a florist. A friend's daughter was getting married on October 9th and they asked me to do the flowers. Here are the Bride and Attendents' bouquets.


In between the painting and flowers, hubby and I had our annual Fudge/Apple Fritter/Donut show on October 2nd & 3rd. This year I made 30 pounds of fudge, 50 pounds of Donut Dough and hubby went through 11 batches of Apple Fritter batter. We fry the donuts and fritters fresh at the festival, they are so yummy on a cool fall day.


And lastly, my little girl had her 8th Birthday on the 18th...



Now, if I can just get some inspiration to start crafting, I have a show coming up on November 20th and I don't have a thing ready. Not to mention, my website hasn't had a new listing in quite some time. I've really been in a slump lately....

  1. I love the knotty pine and how your new paint lightens everything. Things really pop against it. Sounds like you have been plenty busy. The bouquets are gorgeous. The bride must have been very pleased. You have a trailer or booth you set up to fry on the spot? I love those mini-donuts they do--better than funnel cake! And when we do get pastries, it is always apple fritters.
    Thank you so much for stopping by and commenting on my grungy job! I am dipping some of them again today. I bought some instant coffee to make the wax color richer. Hope it works!
