I was out doing some lunchtime garage saling again last week. I brought home this little pile of treasures.

Everything pictured will get some sort of a makeover. I started with the big wood caddy and simply added a stencil.

I believe this carrier was meant for gathering cut flowers. I filled mine with some stock (that is the name of the flower, in case you are finding that confusing). I wish I could say that I grew this myself because I think it would be lovely in the garden, but no, I purchased it from a front yard plant cart while garage saling last weekend.


The second wood caddy needed a more serious makeover. That green tree and fence stencil had to go.

I painted the entire thing with Fusion’s Laurentien.

Then I added a French stencil in white to both sides.

So much better than the tree, am I right?

I used the same beautiful stock to stage this photo, but this time it’s in a blue canning jar. I love the pale pink in combination with the pale yellow centers. So pretty.

I’m still working on the basket, the 3 small chairs and the little watering can, so you’ll just have to stay tuned to see those!

Fabulous!!!!!! Again, you transformed the baskets into pure loveliness!

They are really sweet. They need a little shoring up, so hopefully Ken can work his magic on them.

Yep the stencil totally trumps the tree. I love the paint colors too. I always think those look so hokey when I come across them in a store. You just know how to give them character. Would love that on my breakfast room table. So you keep you eyes peeled
constantly don’t you?
