one more chalkboard never hurt anyone, right?

Remember my entry?  I think everyone agreed it needed a little something in that ginormous gap of blank wall staring at us.


Today, my husband and I went to a local antique mall for a couple of hours and I found a gap filler.
Sorry it's so blurry but the lighting was off.  You know, it wasn't dark enough for a flash but not bright enough for a great picture.  It just confused the camera.  You can still check out my large vintage chalkboard.

It was only 20 bucks and is perfect.

While we were there, I picked up this big "G".  It's about 2 feet tall and it's not old but someone did a darn good job of faking it.

There's some good chippy white paint on that big "G" and it's going to make me happy in my sunroom.

I also picked up these 3 little chalkboard tags with little keys and twine.  They were so cute and only $4 for a package of 3.  I have no idea what I'll do with them yet (except maybe make some of my own for even cheaper. Shhhhh, don't tell)


I may link this up to a couple of my favorite link parties in my list above or down on the right.

  9. I, personally, do not think there's any such thing as too many chalkboards.

    (PS, I think I may have gotten the google account thing to work. Maybe.)

  11. Hey, that's a great idea to add a chalkboard.
    I'm thinking of all the messages I could write to my children to save me telling them what to do when they come home from school!

    I'm loving your blog. I'm your new follower!
