Things Worth While...

This post was featured on the Thrifty Grove

Hope you don't do what my sister did (by accident). She was rearranging my blog look and DELETED the Linky Followers (thought it was a title). 
Groan (she REALLY GROANED and cried a bit too) and couldn't get them back. 
SO If you were a Linky follower could you link up again.

Thursday I learned how to make homemade Chalk Paint and got started on 3 projects.
Here is the first one.

First project for my homemade chalk paint is a dark and unusual wall shelf.
Wow Spring Flowers!!
Mixing the Paint
plaster of paris powder 2 measures
slightly warm water 2 measures
latex paint 7 measures
Lots of surface to paint on this long ago homemade project.

I love the light green.
Starting adding the displays. Whimsical Chip Carving
Ice Pick handle with saying, always interesting.
Bottom shelf has a 1928 weeder and the Long Horn Hook made by my Uncle Dave Hunt

  3. Love the colour - I've never tried ASCP, even though Annie is English like me and I used to watch her on tv. It's just not a big phenomenom over here. I keep seeing it in blogland and I'm going to have to get some to try.
    Just noticed you live on Vancouver Island - I went there when I was six (a very long time ago) and had a great time.
    Happy painting, making and blogging !

  8. Very pretty color! And this was the fourth link about chalk paint during Friday's Refresh Your Nest party, so I'm thinking I need to jump on the bandwagon and try it for myself. Thanks for linking up!
