Tea cup treasures

I spent the weekend going to a few of my mother and mines, favorite places.

We spent Saturday at a teddy bear tea and Sunday we visited Suzanna’s!

I scored these two lovelies!

They are in pretty good shape and I am very pleased to add them to my collection!

I was the big spender. Yes ladies these beauties put me back $3!!

I will have to wait until it is cooler to go through my stash in storage to find my other cups and saucers, but these will be fun until I find them.

Hugs, Lisa

Inspired

I was on Facebook today and a friend posted a picture from another blog.

This was on Shabby Addicts Blog. Don’t you love this kitchen! It is a dream of mine to have shelves not cabinets in my kitchen, AND a HUGE farm sink!!!

Here though I was inspired by the chairs. I have 4 chairs, pink, green, (bought that way) and 2 brown :(

When I bought them they worked with my décor, anyway I bought the pink and green one with a new table and had the brilliant idea to paint the other two.

After long looking and buying paint and taking it back I got light blue and yellow. The yellow I wasn’t sure about but thought I’d like different colors.

Started with the light blue

Worked really great I think. covered easy and is lighter than I expected and I’m pleased!

Yellow, well did seriously think (ONLY THOUGHT) about painting the chair white first than using the yellow, I repressed that urge :(

It looks better here than in person. You can make out some of the streakiness on the top. Took the whole can. I will need another to finish the chair :(

I am pleased that it is a paler shade of yellow than the can suggested so I think it will go in my palette better. Do wish the project was done though.

I will post when the set is complete!

Happy Saturday!
