Peat Pots and Lavender

I have a lot to share this week.  Yesterday was a very busy one for me.  I got a lot done, but I didn't get many photos taken.  That's what I'll be doing today.  So, I'll be back later with another post.  In the mean time, here are a few pics of one of my small project.  Just in time for Spring.





I painted these peat pots blue, followed by a top coat of white.  No need to add texture.  I just used acrylic craft paint.  I then tore blue ledger paper, and decoupaged it right over a sprig of lavender.  I do love my lavender.








Simple, but very pretty.  See ya later.

    Hi Rosemary, the peat pots are so beatiful. I have plans for a few...love the texture. Your pics are beautiful too. I'm going to try and grow lavender this year, fingers crossed. I was surprised to find the seeds are very fragrant.

    I'm getting into painting furniture too. I'd like to layer color and add some sweeping brush strokes like Monet to a dresser I'm about to tackle. A friend of mine says you can't mess up chalk paint and I'd love to replicate the inside of a seashell on the top of the dresser. We'll see! Would also love to boost my blog, but don't know how. I love whAt you do.
