A Little Bird Told Me...


I did not notice...


Today I was outside in the heat,
taking photos of a large number of items.


Some, I had painted with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint,


and others, I had revised 
with good old spray paint. 




Some I had found at garage sales,
and half-price day at a thrift store.

As I was gathering them up 
to bring them inside, 
I noticed a flock gathering.

Not birds of a feather, mind you,
but different kinds of birds.

A little faux wood bird...


looks nicer with a coat
of Oil Rubbed Bronze...


And these votive candle holder birds
from Dollar Tree look even more charming 
with a dry brushed coat of Old White.


I didn't photograph them before painting them.

Believe it or not, I don't think 
EVERY item I paint is blog worthy!

 However, I AM documenting
the number of items I paint 
with one quart of ASCP, 
just for my own curiosity. When I 
run out of Old White, I'll post 
about all the items I painted.

Word for the Day:
Ecclesiastes 10:20
Even in your thoughts, do not curse the king,
    nor in your bedroom curse the rich,
for a bird of the air will carry your voice,
    or some winged creature tell the matter.

Found Objects - What Is It???


Do you know what the heck 
this three-legged thingy is?

I bought it yesterday for a buck 
at my fave little thrift store.


 It is rusty steel, and it has
a hook to hold something.

I wonder if it is something that was used 
to hold a little kettle over a ground fire?

Some of you (Lisa? Pat?)
know what all kinds of things are.

If you know, please enlighten me!

Word for the Day:
Luke 15:6
And when he comes home, 
he calls together his friends and his neighbors, 
saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, 
for I have found my sheep that was lost.’
