the chalkboard table...




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.

some nights 
we set up the lap top to watch a slide show of images 
which brings back so many memories
with each photo that pops up
they remind me of all the people I have met through this journey of mine
& help me to believe in my dreams for the future








your support & comments also help me to spread my wings a little more each day 
so thank you for sharing this with me & for being a part of my photographic journey 
it means so much
