Ducks

So, I am not a big fan of the "hunting" look. I don't gravitate towards hunter green, burgandy, brown, etc. It's just not my style. So, I also happen to think that duck decoys as decoration are hideous. I would much rather look at a real duck thank you very much. But, I do love ducks so I decided to "cute-ify" some duck decoys. (you like that word? I made it up) Remember awhile back I made this sweet duck...



Well, I found some more decoys!!
Before...



After!....



Much better!

This is a test!

So, I'm blogging from my iPhone! This should be interesting. I hope it works...

What I'd like to show you is a jewelry box I re-made.


I am getting excited about giving old beat up jewelry boxes a new life. This is my first wooden one. I did this one a couple months ago


But, silver ones are hard to find!!
I painted the outside, relined the inside and made a big dahlia on the top and I seriously want to keep it!






The jewelry box will be available at the "Saturday stroll" here in Richmond this Saturday, come on down and visit!


And happy FIRST birthday to my baby girl!
