Halloween Decoration

It was a gorgeous day last Sunday, and at 10am I was already sitting on my couch , sipping my home made latte and looking around my Halloween decoration in my living room. It just made me smile.

I am Chinese, and we usually don't celebrate Halloween, the "Ghost" things were kind of scary and we thought it was a bad thing, but since I am in Canada for almost over 14 years, and I am an educator  in the school, for me its more like a fun thing to do, especially I like home decoration, so who cares about "ghost", and "witch"? just have fun! Boo!

Summer Finds and DIY Projects

 Hello, it is such a gorgeous day in Vancouver , and it's been a year i haven't come back to write my blog, time goes by so quick and I am really busy between work and mom with two toddlers. It's fall here, we are so lucky didn't get a hot summer this year, and so far the weather is pretty good, I can't complain too much. I would like to share some DIY Projects and some treasures I found in the summer. ( actually some DIY I just finished this afternoon )

1. Little wooden rocky chair - I paid this one from the garage sale and only paid $5.00, it was originally brown color, I painted with Vintage White chalk paint long time ago, and just added "SIT" with the stencil this afternoon.

  2. Ipad Holder - I spent $2.99 at the value village for the cutting board, and got idea from my friend Katheryn 's sharing information from Facebook, I sanded it and repainted ,then put stencil "Welcome" on it, now it's perfect sitting on my kitchen counter top , its good to check recipes while I am cooking.

3. The French Style wooden frame - I found in a little vintage boutique store, there were lots little cute accessories  there, it took a while to place and glued them inside, then I glued an lace on the outside surface, because the original frame was light brown color, and I am a Vintage White fan, so of course I repaint white as well, and thinking it will be hung on the wall of my girl's bedroom.

4. The Key Holder - same, I picked from the garage sale, and repainted , inside the frame I painted black chalk paint, I like it a lot, will be hung on the wall of our garage .

5. Mason Jar project I also got idea from my friend as well, and I love them, they are in my bathroom now.

here are also some finds I found during the summer, are they cute?!
