Mother's Day Weekend

Mother's Day was last weekend.  I'm sure you were aware of this.  Anyways...  I had to work on Sunday so I spent Saturday with my mom.  We went to the Ethel Edith spring show, and I picked up this fun pink chair for my craft room.


I made these flower pots for my mom & mother in law.  There was a how-to on a blog somewhere.  However, I have no idea where.... I just made a mental note of the process and moved on.  Oops!  Basically, I painted the pot with an off white acrylic paint.  It was almost dry brush technique.... to give it an "aged" look.  I printed a vintage French label graphic from The Graphics Fairy blog and mod podged it onto the pot.  After it dried, I sealed the whole thing.


My mom sent me home with these yummy farm fresh organic strawberries.  They grow organic produce on their farm.


I hope you all enjoyed your weekend, as well.
