This happened the other day. Oh, my heart.

I found the chair at a yard sale and scooped it up for my daughter, Shire, to paint. She has grown very curious about what I do in the garage and has her own little opinions about each piece once it's finished. I thought she'd love trying her hand at refinishing. When I showed her the chair she just couldn't wait to get started and picked the color herself, (Antibes Green by Annie Sloan chalk paint)

Interesting work ethic from this generation; Shire kept taking breaks to go run through the sprinkler with her brothers. She went back and forth, painting here then sprinkler there, for about an hour straight.

Oopsy daisy...

She sure has her own unique technique!

Job finished and so proud.

Posing with/enjoying her first piece :)

Shire has decided she wants to sell her chair rather than keep it so she can take Daddy out on a date.

So, this piece is available for sale. Price $25 - SOLD

**I evened out some of the thick spots and smoothed the finish with a medium sanding sponge. Piece is lightly distressed.

**Update - since this post Shire's Pops, (my Dad), called to buy Shire's chair. No longer available :)

Thank you for reading!

True story: This past week I asked a friend how her recent getaway was with her husband. She looked confused. I explained that she had told me she and her husband were going to Europe together and I had looked forward to hearing about it. She very sweetly told me that trip was last September.

I'm a horrible person!

That aside, this last year has flown by. There is nothing I can do about slowing time down, but I can slow myself down. I'd love to use Friday's to just recap our week here, more for my sake than anything! It's been fun the last couple weeks to sort through some of my favorite captured moments and document them here. Aren't we spoiled in this era of uber easy/convenient technology?! But hey, who am I to turn down a little easy and convenient these days :)

This week...

Nap with my baby

Summer ready toes

Watching Daddy play baseball over a pb&j picnic...

...then playin it off behind the bleachers

Home and garden

Pigtail messybuns

Watching Shire's hanging butterflies dance under the ceiling, (by pointing a fan on them...magic to a 3yr old!)

And believe it or not my Love agreed to marry me the day after my birthday - this weekend we will celebrate both! Looking forward to some "Chillin' and BBQ Grillin'" - say the awesome napkins I got from Target :)

Have a great weekend!
