Coastal Charm: I Have This Number Thing Going On

Do you have a number thing going on at your nest too? I have been meaning to get around to adding some numbers on a few accessories here at Coastal Charm, but I just kept forgetting to do it...I blame it on old age...I know some of y'all can relate to my condition. Finally got some stencils from Michael's and got busy playing around with a few items...want to see what got a number added to it? Okay...here we go taking a look at who the victims were. If you haven't entered my FLORA DOORA GIVEAWAY...click here...you don't want to miss out on the chance to win one of these darling bags. I love my FLORA DOORA...it lives in Mary Claire's room and I keep two cute little white starfish in it...so many neat ways to use these cute bags!!!
                         So glad you came by...so
                              please come again,
                                       Linda

Oh my goodness...isn't she a cutie pie?

Finding her new home here on
top of my vintage picnic baskets!!

I used some ASCP (old white) that I had on hand.

Added some goodies from around

my nest...

and this old vintage sewing box

is now something special

here in my nest!!!

Now how much did she cost me?

I think I remember paying about

50 cents for her at a garage sale

a few months ago, add some

FREE paint and a stencil that

I will be using over and over,

then she came way in under

a buck...not bad at all!!!

Does anybody remember my FREE

basket that I had planned on

turning it into a moss basket?

Well now it got a number instead!!!

Instead of painting the number, I

just outlined it and filled it in

with a sharpie...so very

EASY!!!!

                           You don't think that I'm stopping here
                            do you? Oh no...more victims will
                                     get numbered really
                                             soon!!!

Anonymous said...: FAB Linda! Absolutely Fabulous and no two comment about it. I heart your vintage sewing box and the stenciled art.

by the way, my PC had been behavin quite funny lately and i commented on Diann's blog by Linda! Ask how? This stupid pc. It auto changes tabs, u know of those super sensitive to touch idiots, so in stead of commenting at yours, Linda stayed same and rest of the comment went absolutely haywire. I didn't notice and posted it. Such a silly thing to do. I need my old dumb hit and use PC :(; October 14, 2011 at 11:44 AM
