Drifting Away
Rainy weekend here. Perfect for a little creative time.
I've been playing with paint and some of my driftwood sticks.
Did you know I used to paint rocks when I was a kid and then go door to door trying to sell them to my neighbors?
Guess the sticks aren't far off.
I think they'll be a fun addition to our booth at the craft fair.
This one though, is all mine. It's so small and sweet.
And mine. All mine.
I've been working on another little craft project....more on that tomorrow.
LAST CHANCE TO ENTER
The September giveaway ends at 12:01 tonight. So if you haven't entered yet, or if you want to earn more chances, go here NOW!
Hope you're enjoying your weekend. I've got to go. My husband just got home and gave me beautiful cala lilies and I have to put them in some water. They're so tall, I think they're going to need my tallest Waterfor vase. Nice, huh? Love that man of mine.
Enjoy your Sunday,
Love the colors you chose for the sticks. What do you plan on doing with them?
ReplyDeleteHi Eyelah...hey, did you notice I put your button in the sidebar? Hope things are a little less 'stressful' for you. I think I'm going to leave them as is, they look really nice sitting on a bookshelf. Will bring all but the little one to the craft fair we're doing next month. We'll see what happens. They'd be really nice strung together to hang too, I think.
DeleteLove the colours you painted them! Sounds like you were a thriving creative entrepreneur from a young age. The feather looks perfect alongside the sticks. Nature is most inspiring! Happy week my friend..xo C. HHL
ReplyDeleteHi Celia, oh yes....such an entrepreneur at such a young age. Not sure how many rocks I actually sold, but.........still funny thinking about it. Have a great week!
DeleteI think every entrepreneur sold either painted rocks or lemonade as a kid! What craft fair are you doing?
ReplyDeletecracks me up. connected with my etsy friend susie (harris marks furniture) and we found out we both painted rocks. so obviously it was a big thing. how about painted rocks AND sold lemonade? for sure.
Deletegar and I are doing a craft fair on October 20th here in Stratham. It's to support the library. If you're interested, let me know and I can forward you lori's contact info (she's organizing and she also has etsy shop BeJewelledNH). OR if you're looking for something to do that day, we'd love to see you!
I LOVE the colors you used! They would be great used as a sort of frame too...maybe?
ReplyDeleteOh yeah Amy, for sure.....on a frame, on a mirror, could even be cute as a handle on something.
DeleteI like them! One year my daughter glued a stack of small rocks together and I love it, it's still sitting on my shelf.
ReplyDeleteoooo Laura, a rock cairn!!!! LOVE them. love starting them on the trail walks we take and then the next person adds to it. so cool. i have a friend who makes small table top ones and oils them with olive oil and they look gorgeous.
DeleteYour painted sticks are really cool, and what a great way to add extra color to your booth. I loved painting rocks when I was younger as well, I bet painting those sticks was fun.

Everyday Inspired
isn't that too funny........Kathy must be right. all of us creative types must have started out painting rocks! that makes me smile. thanks V....this was fun to do while sitting inside on a rainy day.
DeleteThese are lovely and remind me so much of Bonjour Frenchie! She also accents them with a feather.
ReplyDeleteHi Anon, I LOVE feathers.....I'm always collecting them on my walks.Same can be said for driftwood or any branches that interest me on our beach and woodland walks.
DeleteDoes bonjour frenchie do sweet little watercolors of cities around the world or am I thinking of another shop? I think I've favorited some of bf's work before. Will have to take a back look through my etsy favorites.
Thanks for stopping by, hope you come back.
it wasn't bonjour frenchie i was thinking of for the watercolors it was sketch away
