What a Weekend!

What a super busy weekend we had! We visited the American Girl store at the Mall Of America on Saturday (had a blast, although whoever invented these dolls are crooks, lol:), spent the night at friends in Blaine and then Sunday went to a Twins game (*snore*). It was a great time with the girls, and of course *I* had a blast at the AG store too:)


I am linking over to Between Naps on the Porch for Metamorphosis Monday , Rhoda over at Southern Hospitality and Twice remembered for Make Your Monday

I had gotten this wooden tray from a thrift/antique store last year, and I LOVED the Americana theme, However, I am some what getting rid of that theme, so I decided to paint it, and stencil our last name initial, and the year we were "established", lol. Turned out great!

This one I bought this summer at an antique store also, but it was a very light yellow color that just did not go with the colors in my house. I spray painted it, and stenciled the number 5 on the side of it. I filled it with some of my tobacco tins that I collect and set it up on top of my cabinets in the kitchen. Looks much better!

Amazing what a can of spray paint can do!
