Hi, friends! How was your weekend? Well, yesterday was a bit of a cracker in old Sydney town. Perfect weather - warm and sunny, no breeze. With winter just around the corner (albeit fairly mild in these parts), days like these are to be savoured. Sunday gave us great weather for getting outdoors, cooking sausages on the BBQ and watching paint dry. Yes, I finally found the time to finish painting this children's table, a side of the road freebie care of our suburb's rubbish collection day.

Inspired by images like this one, I decided to convert this attractive purple and white number into a chalkboard table for Lily (...the easel is on it's last legs). We already had white paint on hand but when it came to the black chalkboard paint, Bunnings wanted $24 for half a litre - too pricey and too much paint for the task at hand. But then I found a local supplier who offered half the amount for half the price - sold!
P.S Thanks again for all your wonderful reading suggestions - lots to add to the list.
