I love what I see, and I will DEFINITELY be back ... in fact, I intend to hit the Follower button AND add you to my sidebar as soon as I finish here. As I'm reading, I discover that you're just up the road from me! It's a very small world. (This also reminds me that it's been too long since I have seen my brother and sister, though they only live about an hour away, so I think I'll pick up the phone this evening and see how they are doing.) I'll be back ... you can guarantee it.Connie in Hartwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09127877285792861166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2740949879488808522.post-32805000588598264252011-10-20T14:39:18.410-04:002011-10-20T14:39:18.410-04:00I need to stop by Fox Den and visit the tables...g...I need to stop by Fox Den and visit the tables...gorgeous!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2740949879488808522.post-67455794573856516882011-10-20T12:04:54.397-04:002011-10-20T12:04:54.397-04:00I always leave here in an inspiration-overload sta...I always leave here in an inspiration-overload state, Janet...wanting to do or make every lovely thing I see you post!

How cool that your sibs love to get together:>) It sounds like you had a really great time. I love the painted bottom of your new table, I have a table I have been eyeing to redo in the living room and I may see about some AS paint to do it since yous seem to be having such great results. SO far I love everything you have redone with that paint and the fact that you don't have to sand before painting appeals to me a lot!Kathleen Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11551093555973581448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2740949879488808522.post-18363819700876623292011-10-20T08:20:58.024-04:002011-10-20T08:20:58.024-04:00Oooh, aren't you devious..........what a wonde...Oooh, aren't you devious..........what a wonderful surprise for Bobby.

And if I ever come to your part of the world, I definitely want to go shopping with you! I can't believe the things you're able to find. I'm hoping this winter to make the trek to find the chalk paint and start doing a bit of refinishing on some of my old tired furniture! I'm sure I'll be referring back to this post for inspiration.Atelier Contihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17406574186162890210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2740949879488808522.post-22964938902585090622011-10-20T02:27:14.522-04:002011-10-20T02:27:14.522-04:00Sounds like a perfect weekend.
