and repeat as needed around all edges in alternating turns).
Poked around to find hinge holes under cavnas, screwed hinges to top and then to base (thank you DH).
Used ASCP and stencilled three fleur de lis.
Tried out a few vignette variations. That was fun. My fav were the additions of French Ivory smalls.
These two blogs inspired me months ago, Uniquely Chic French Influenced Striped Burlap Sewing Seat and Twig Studios Tutorial on painting strips/words on heissen.

Hi Joy, you visited me and now I'm visiting you and joining your followers. Thanks for finding me as I have enjoyed looking back over some of your blogs. I loved the pyrex ware collection. To think that I took most of mine into the charity shop years ago! What a good idea filling old milk bottles with marbles. I never get over all the things I am learning blogging! I loved a peek at your stalls and would really like to have time browsing there for real! I also loved today's makeover. I like the way you put the before and after side by side...so much easier to see what you are doing! Right...better get my day on the go. Good getting to know you and hope to get to know you better. Joan

It came out great! I've been wanting to try drop cloth for curtains in my office and want to stencil them too. Do you think that could be pulled off and look okay? Thanks for sharing at Cap Creations.
