Do it Yourself...If you have the Thyme

I apologize for not posting lately. We have been swamped! We (my husband and I) went on a trip to Lancaster, PA with my Aunt and Uncle and my grandmother (Mimi).

The BEST ice cream shop!

This weekend, we did a lot of things around the house. Webb mowed the yard, finished a table we bought in Lancaster (pictures to come soon) and helped work on my "summer project" my grandparents table. I on the other hand stayed in the house and did some DIY projects. I made a herb "garden" and a lemon blueberry cake.

Here are the materials you will need: chalk, chalkboard paint, planting pots, paint tape, sponge brush, raffia and of course herbs of your choice. I used pre-potted herbs but I am sure you could plant your own and watch them grow.

This was such a fun and "delicious" project!

Doesn't the yard look nice?

Heirlooms

This is going to be a very special project for me. I found this table in my grandparents barn this past fall. It was my grandmother's parents table. They sat at this table when they first got married and my grandparents sat at this table also. I am going to use part of this summer to refinish this table and get it back into a loving home.

So here is the plan:

Follow these instructions so that the table will resemble the one below.

It seems fairly "easy." I will definitely post pictures when I have completed my project and tell you the tale of how "easy" it was.

"All that I come from and all that I live for and all that I'm going to be, my precious family is more than an heirloom to me." Amy Grant's song Heirlooms
