Vacation! not going anywhere.... doing exactly what I want, when I want!
I've had a week long vacation.... at home!
It's nice to putter around
... I'm slowly building up my gallery wall...
I picked up some cheap frames ($1 !!) at a couple of local thrift stores
a few different paint treatments...a few instagram photos...
(great memory keeper that Instagram)
the one above is the backside of the beautiful Empress Hotel in Victoria, BC
I stayed there in April, had a lovely 6th floor room with this view... so pretty

a much manipulated picture of the gorgeous Japanese garden at the Laurel Point Inn... again Victoria
but a different weekend! the frame is really cheap plastic - no glass
another $1 frame, some Japanese wood block paper and my favorite magnetic poem
a while back I painted this frame with Annie Sloan chalk paint in duck egg blue
LOVE the color... just not here
this print looks so much better with a flat black frame
my ugly orange hued pine coffee table finally gets new life
( boy do we need a new fence)
with some Annie Sloan chalk paint in Antique White
she's lovely... now for a colorful table runner....

feeling the urge to paint something..
A work in progress. Not sure what to do with this next but I will think of something. Playing with my watercolor pencils and my favorite shape making bubbles. too much fun!
I am sure someone thought these were lovely at one time. me not so much .. but they were the perfect shape for a couple of Instagram photo's. A little flat black metal paint for the frames, some Paris Grey Annie Sloan Chalk paint for the mats and ta da.
I see this little row boat on my weekend walks to the beach. I wish I could float away for a little while.
My margarita and Sweeties appy at Fred's Mexican Restaurant on Maui. Just steps away from our condo, the food was fantastic! Check it out! Fred's Mexican Cafe - Kihei
