Happiness is.... New Power Tools

You would have laughed if you saw my reaction to my new beauties...

I think I danced, sang a song, and jumped up and down.

No it wasn't flowers from my My Hubby ... It was new Power Tools!

To be exact a Craftsman Brad Nailer and Miter Saw

 They are part of the Craftsman's C3 line of 19.2V cordless power tools.

I can't wait to start using them!

Vintage Market - Salem, CT

Hi Guys 

Last Saturday, my hubby, a friend, and myself went to the Salem Vintage Market. 

It was a great day, weather was sunny and warm. It is their second annual market. 

There were lots of great vendors, selling vintage items as well as handcrafted items. 

Yummy Food Trucks

These are my finds!

Patriotic Mason Jars

With 4th of July nearly upon us, I had a few mason jars hanging around. And decided to create a patriotic centerpiece for myself and a caddy for my Mom.

I started with some one pint mason jars.

 I took 6 mason jars and painted 4 white and 2 blue. 

Remember I am doing 2 sets, for 1 set you will need 3 mason jars, painting 2 white and 1 blue.

 On the white mason jars I taped off stripes

and painted them red.

 On the blue jar I used a star stamp to create white stars.

Once dried I spray painted them with 2 coats of satin enamel. 

You can add flowers for a centerpiece.

OR

 

Combined the jars with a DIY wooden toolbox (see how I made it here) to create a caddy.

This is the version I sent to Mom. She loved it!

 

Once done with the caddy you can add flowers for a decorative display.

 Have a red, white and blue day!
