Do you have any of these?

Just curious, does anyone out there have any recycled flower pots made from tires?  I think they are really neat and would probably last for years.  I love the ones with handles!  Just curious....before I get serious on buying some.  What a cute Mother's Day gift and earth friendly too!

Fast as a bunny...TUTORIAL

I am finally back home, yippee! My Dad had a back fusion, doing fine, but he's 200 miles away, so I have been gone for weeks.

I found this papier-mache bunny at a thrift store for 69 cents. I wanted to try this stone spray sooo bad. It is easy and way too much fun.

I sprayed the bunny with white spray paint first, let it dry, then the stone spray. It still was too white for me, so I used Delta's hammered iron paint mixed with water and gave it a coat of that too. I brushed it on and dabbed it off with a rag. Make sure it is really dry before aging it or you will wipe off the texture.

This is how it looks now. I finally purchased some metal letter punches, and made the garden charm. They are super fun too. There are so many cool things out there.

You can see the texture better in this photo, it looks like old concrete. The possibilities are endless with this spray. You can make anything look like it came from a French garden. I am going to work on some pots, I will post the pics. I am going to make them more aged, and add moss.

This bunny is headed down to our booth at Old Town Antiques. We have lots of spring decor for sale now.

We have cleared the site for our NEW shop at Krista's. We are super excited, and hope to be open by mid summer. We will keep you posted.

Have fun!
