A Good Day!
Che giornata bella!

I went shopping at the Silverado Warehouse today, no idea what I was looking for but the wagon needed a home . I will paint and do something really cool with it. I also found two iron chairs, what to do with them, not sure. I came back home and since tomorrow I am having a day of creativity with two lovely ladies, I started cleaning the workshop but as usual when I clean something really cool happens, I start creating!
Ho fatto un po' di shopping a Silverado Warehouse. Ho trovato un vagone come si dice in California e anche due sedie. Sono tornata a casa e visto che domani ho una giornata di creativita' con due amiche ho deciso di pulire il laboratorio.....ma come sempre mi perdo' nella creativita"
Quanto mi piacciono queste nuove insegne!

Love Love these signs.

I found some wood behind the workshop, it is oak! Oak to me means heavy wood and not easy to cut with the miter saw. For a real wood worker (a Man) it means "rich, expensive". Well it's been sitting outside for 15 years and it was time to use it.

I never painted my appliques black but I needed a change so I did. And I don't think I have seen appliques painted black anywhere yet in blogland. Hint Hint

Ciao for now and have a great weekend!
Vi saluto e buon fine settimana!
Rita

    Hi Rita!
    Those are so cool! I love mixing black and white. I actually did one of my sheet music vanities with a black applique for the September show last year. I really love the look on your signs with them. I bet they will go quickly!
    Blessings,
    Missy
