A Few of My Favorite Painted Words

I love making up signs from things I bring home from the shore, or in this case from a day spent out thrifting.

It started out as an old sled that I had found at a barn sale for cheap.

I like the way it looks with my watering can.

That silver area on the wood is glitter, but I need to work on how to make it show up in a photo.

Here's a boat-shaped flower box that I painted up in aqua. I just painted over the boat's original red and blue color, and then I decided to give it a Maine boat registration number

I decided I would give a special name to this board that I found washed up on shore. This is the name that Sorrento used to be called before it became a town in 1895. It actually still shows up this way on some maps.

When I found it, the board was already painted yellow, and was perfectly distressed from it's time spent in the ocean.

This green birdhouse came from a thrift store. As soon as I saw it, I knew it would pair nicely with this piece of driftwood that was once a tree.

Also, attached is a driftwood board that I painted aqua and decoupaged imperfect lettering on, cut out with an X-acto knife.

Here you can see the bottom of the driftwood tree.

It already seems right at home in the middle of our tiny flower patch.
