The Daily DIY: Mercury Glass


You'll need:
Krylon Looking Glass Spray Paint
Vinegar
Any Glass Jar



Music: Generator^First Floor by Freelance Whales


Depending on how thick you spray the paint on and how much vinegar you let sit, will decipher what look you end up with. I like the way this turned out because it looks a bit aged now, but it's subtle.



This is such an easy way to add a little "antique" to your decor even if you don't have the real thing.
Have a lovely day!

LOVE is: A Hand-stitched Quilt


I recently purchased this tattered quilt at an estate sale. It was a wedding gift given in 1922.

Antiquing.

My sister heard about this great little shop, Bearly Makin' Antiques, in a small town near us, so she and I and a couple of her friends went to check it out. While browsing, Mary, who was keeping shop that day, directed us to another little magical place called The Copper Shed.
