    When I look on American blogs you seem to have a much wider choice of diy materials than we do here in Ireland. I would need to take a shopping trip to the US to specifically buy craft supplies! I don't think my husband wouls agree somehow

    Very pretty! I have to admit I'm a little intimidated by spray paint, any tips on applying an even coat without drips?

    Have a wonderful day!

    It is truly amazing how paint and color can change an object so intensely! The "shell pink" is so delicate and soft on the suface of the pitcher......love it! And your special little touch of adding the old lace and rickrack is precious!! Thanks for your visit and comments!

    Pink perfection! Love spray paint but never used the clear glaze. I see a cramped spray paint trigger finger in my future.

    I may try using some spray paint after seeing what a great job you did. That sounds easier than with a brush. You post is very pretty pinks.

    Very pretty. Love the soft pink of the pitcher. But I have to ask...was that a Longaberger pitcher you painted? Because I have a cream one the same pattern.As well as a buttery gold one and a americana one.

    Just found your site today and have been spending time going through old post. You have some wonderful transformations.

    I've enjoyed my visit immensely.
    Hugs,
    Cindy
