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.’
