It's earth day!

It's earth day! I am a good steward of earth recycling anything we can, repurposing & reusing things many times and then saving pieces of furniture and home decor as my daily job. Remember there is only 1 earth. We all have to do our part.

H did not want to go out at 7 today as the arctic wind was blowing so she waited for Cooper to arrive at 7:45. Britt brought Shaina and I a tea, thanks then she was off. The dogs went out for a very short jaunt then back in to the kennels. I enjoyed my tea while marketing a bit then the dogs and I went to start painting the custom cabinet after removing hardware.  But first I had to get the bloody stickers off, sheesh Homesense why?? 

thank goodness for orange cleaner

The first coat was then brushed on. 

While I had the med gray I added it to the vases I started a few weeks back.

While these all dried, I recut the bouquet stems and put them all together. 

This is the pretty bouquet from B and the sweet little plant I am trying to ID, do you know what it is?

Etsy was refreshed and some expired ads renewed. I got out this vintage hand painted German pepper grinder deciding to try and sell as is so staged pictures and started the ad.

I came in before lunch to make my 2 caps, pretty slow on that today. I wrote a tutorial for the teal table from way back for Hometalk. The snow let up off and on after lunch but the wind continued. I went back out and painted another coat of grey and worked on the vases some more. The hardware was spray painted as well.

before.. aged brass look

Throughout the day I did some vacuuming and some dog laundry. Later the cabinet was clear and dark waxed. The snow finally stopped and the sun even peeked out for a bit. There was no real accumulation and it hovered around zero all day. I put the hardware on the cabinet and hauled in to do touch ups and stage a few pics.

I helped Shaina film some videos as I cooked supper. B joined us after 6:30. After supper B went to feed the horses and check on the cats who spent the day inside today before she and coop headed home. She had picked up new cobalt blue bottles in Airdire for me on the way home from work, THANK YOU. I opened them and love them.

Time to get some blog catchup while watching some Netflix. Shaina made popcorn yet again and off to the tub. I shut down the computer work after 10 heading to bed to watch Netflix, Harley was snoring in the garage still on her bed not interested in getting up so will see how she fares in her first overnight garage sleep.
