My Garden Sign and Tuesday’s Treasures

Over the weekend I posted about my gardening bench,
 thank you for all your sweet comments!

I made my garden sign a little different then my previous signs so I thought I would give you the low down.

Found a piece of scrap wood and spray painted it

Printed out my letters and traced over them using carbon paper

Took a sharpie and colored the letters in

 
Took some sample paint I had in the garage and lightly brushed over the wood
Wiped it off with a damp rag, added some stain and sanded it very lightly

Voila!

Here are some of my favorites from last week!

A Sort of Fairytale new sideboard, so pretty!
Shabby French Cottage amazing kitchen makeover!
