Friday Favorites and a Frame Project

I have already done a Friday favorites post on my love of all things rooster. Click here to see it. But, I wanted to show 2 more rooster things I bought recently to add to my collection. I had to have this pear and plate when I saw them. I love the colors and the roosters and flowers painted on.




I got this cute notebook and toile notecards at one of the best places in the world, Hobby Lobby. I know I have told you many times of my love for HL. I use little notebooks like this one to write down all kinds of lists, ideas, measurements, whatever and then take it with me when I go shopping. I totally didn't need the notecards, but had to have them when I saw the red toile. I thought $1.99 for 20 cards was pretty cheap.


Here is a picture frame project I did yesterday. I bought an unfinished frame from Michaels for $1, painted the edges that would show black, modpodged scrapbook paper on, and hot glued on a little fleur de lis Christmas ornament. I love how it turned out and I am going back to buy several more of these frames to decorate. The possibilities are endless with all the gorgeous paper out there! I hope y'all have a wonderful weekend and Happy Valentine's Day!!!

That's such a pretty pear! Hobby Lobby is wonderful - I'm going tomorrow and I'll have to look for the notebook. I need a new one. Scrapbook paper is wonderful and so versatile. I glue it on all kinds of things!

Your fames are darling too.

Thank you for letting me know about the shutters! I can't wait for it to get warm enough so that folks around here start having yard sales. Maybe I will get as lucky as you!

Happy Valentine's Day!
