Painting Smalls

Beginning a new month. June. Last month of the school year. Bumble bees are singing happy songs. Plans for July and August are discussion topics. Tomatoes are planted, kale is growing, the beans look a bit stressed.

What project will be next?

Here is the 'after'.

I found 3 small shutters last weekend at my favourite church sale, shutters still in their plastic wrap.  

3 coats of CeCe Caldwell Simply White. The shutters will make great for background for photos. It takes hours to paint shutters (feels like hours, likely was about 1 hour with lots of drying time).

Stencilled Dream Believe Hope in pink. 

Could not resist adding the battery operated lights to a vintage jar. Picked the two peonies that have bloomed and one iris. The small shutters would be useful holders for vintage broaches.

The reverse side of the shutters are plain white.
The peonies opened up overnight and smell so sweet.

I am posting again tomorrow afternoon at 5:00 pm for those who want to visit again this week.

Thank you for visiting.
