Oh Sweet Gifts!!

Have you been to Canton Trade days?

One of my girlfriends and I went a few years ago and I feel in Love!!! It was dreamy...rolling hills, trees...lots of trees! I love being surrounded by all of God's beauty! I love going to different areas and seeing the wonderful creations God has made in each area that defines it! Plans are to head back this spring and I am beyond excited! 

She brought me these stools from sweet Canton...I'm heart skipped a beat when I seen them! Hahaa...she knows me!! I adore her!! She is one of the kindest people I know, always wanting to be a blessing to others, always helping others! She has taught me so much...

I need to get out more...see her more, bless her & all my sweet friends!

I'm such a home girl..I love just being home! I love being surrounded by my little family. I love being crafty, I love how all my kids love it too.

 ART is everywhere = LOVE!!!

 It's hard for me to get out with 4 sweeties..you know the mama guilt?  Don't know why we as mamas all feel that?!! 

These sweet stools have the perfect patina!

I went to Lowe's and got some small wood table tops that are all ready to be stained or painted. Since I adore Walnut, these tops got 2 coats.

One of the things I've fallen in love with is numbers stenciled on just about anything...this was the perfect pair for it. I cut some stencils with my Cricut and painted them in the center.

...the tops then received a good sanding! I'm a distressing junky...I have no problem admitting it!!

They make me smile!!

They will be loved well beyond my years I'm sure...serving any purpose imaginable! 

They will always remind me of my sweet friend.

 I love having things that remind me of others!! 

I love old, used things...there is a story already there, and I feel when saving them, it makes their story continue!

Many blessing to you,

Love,
 Naomi
