white painted frenchies

I've got a bit of a natural wood glass paneled door collection on my hands in this house. One pair of french and 4 more singles. Thats 6 doors or 12 sides which need 2 coats of primer each= 24 plus 2 more coats of white trim paint= 24. 24+24= 48 whopping coats of paint not to mention all of the scraping afterwards. So far I've got one side of the frenchies totally done. 8 down 40 more coats to go. 

I need a little inspiration to keep me going! 

wish me luck!

friday finds and ball jar winner

Whew! What a week on Etsy, thanks to Jen over at the Cottage Nest! We've been so busy packing up treasures to ship out that the blog suffered slightly. On to the Friday find: This beautiful horned milk glass vase features a pretty scalloped opening at the top perfect for your favourite bouquet. Vase is in excellent condition inside and out with no chips, nicks or cracks. It measures at 9.25'' tall and 5'' in diameter from the opening. I sold one last week and then out of sheer good luck I acquired 2 more this week! Hurry they won't last long.

Back to jen and the 1908 Aqua Ball Jar give away she so sweetly hosted the lucky winner is....."Aunt Grits a.k.a. Maggi" from the "Life Under the Big Oak Tree Blog." Aunt Grits if you could email me your address at sarah.arkanoff@yahoo.com I can get that pretty ball jar on its way to you! Congrats!
