I picked up this cute little watering can
a few weeks ago,
with the intention of painting it white.....
(click photos to enlarge)
then I thought about all the cute projects
I have seen lately using chalkboard paint...
I used spray chalkboard paint,
the paint is VERY black...
so I smugged a lot of chalk around to soften the look...
watering cans and Lilacs
are a perfect pair...
Sensation Lilac....
lives up to it's name....
the allure of fresh chalk and a chalkboard,
was too much for even my husband to resist...
I was surprised to find this message today....
how cute is that!
aren't small gestures from the heart...
the most priceless:-))
tonight I am joining...
and
Thanks for stopping by...

Bella, I love your "new" watering can!! Blackboard paint is great!
That is a great idea, and your lilacs are gorgeous.
Oh Bella Sweetie...
How absolutely precious this share is. Love your little watering cans painted with chalkboard paint. That is so cute, and fun for everyone I see. Even DH couldn't resist could he? A kid at heart.
I know my grands would love this idea. I think I am going to set one at the center of each table for Memorial Day and see who will be the first one to pick up the chalk and write on a watering can.
I can sure smell your wonderful lilacs. I love that scent. It is SO heavenly.
Have a beautiful Memorial Day weekend sweet friend. Many hugs and much love, Sherry
That is adorable! I love the idea and the lilacs are stunning. Enjoy your weekend! Blessings, Pamela

You turned that old watering can into a work of art.
How sweet is that! I love the slate look it has. Great idea!
Just darling! What an original! I like the way you've dressed it up. I've never seen that variety of lilac. So pretty and interesting. If I had one of those cans I might get up and find "get bread". Ha!
cute!! Fun new idea.
