i LOVE treasure gold...i use that quite a bit...i was worried it wasn't still available, my little tub dried out, so i am glad that you posted it...your table looks great...what a cute idea!!!
Happy belated birthday, and I love the table I have an almost identical table upstairs but it is hexagonal, it is dark wood so instead of giving it back to mum I might give it a make over then it won't look so daft in my bedroom!
I've been a little busy with my trips; but, I don't think I knew your birthday was coming...so happy, happy belated! Nice gifts, beautiful little table and absolutely wonderful helpful hints.
Happy Birthday sweet Ele :) I adore that E, it is so pretty! How sweet of her to send you gifts, you deserve them so much! That table is beautiful, I can see why it is your favorite!!
When did you have a birthday??? You are such a sweet Humble Gal.. I love all your birthday treats and love the table.. What a cool idea.. Well, Happy Late Birthday!!

Happy Birthday Ele! Hope your day was fabulous! Very pretty table too :)
Love what you did to that table! I have a picture from a magazine from about 9 years ago where they took a dresser and wrote out parts of a book. I loved that idea but that's a lot of work. This is much more manageable.
What a great idea for the table, you have pretty hand writing. I will have to try that too. I just found your blog and really enjoyed it. Blessings, Sandi
Hi Ele, Happy Birthday wishes to you. Love the letters you received and the table is awesome. I have done this with a paint brush for words, but the paint pen is much easier. Looks wonderful. Hope your birthday is as special as you.
Love my journal and filling it up!! XO Hugs, Celestina Marie
Love your egg nests. I came upon your site while walking through blog land today. Thought you might be interested in Kari and Kijsa and myself are putting on a "Doors to Adore" party tomorrow April 7th. Hope you'll join. You have very creative ideas. Thanks Darlene
Fav Table-
[Image] [Image] CRAFT TIP: The table (originally stained wood) received a coat of white flat paint. I used gold Pilot paint marker to write (cursive) flower names in Latin and English.
[Image][Image] [Image]
Wait at least 24 hours for the writing to dry and further embellish with Plaid Gold Wax Metallic Finish. I used my finger to wipe the wax on the edges of the table. I also lightly wiped the wax across some of the writing.
[Image]I have more Birthday treats to show you, so be sure to come back later in the week.
Blessings,
Ele
