Cane Chair Redo & A Lil' Of This N' That


Its has been a slow week at the cottage the rainy weather has me feeling a little lazy but I did manage too get a few things done. Someone really sweet;) knew that I'd love this chair and the rusty bucket in the background. So they both became small projects for me but I will only show the chair today and I'll share this@No Minilmalist Here Open House Party,Charm Bracelet Diva's Tuesday GW Party and Perfectly Imperfect Furniture Party .You will also find me@Three Boys Vintage Furniture linky party, A Bowl Full Of Lemons One Project @ A Time linky party and Happy Hour Projects Freestyle .Also check me out @ Domestically Speaking's Power of Paint party!
Spray painted the lil cane chair cherry red for my offc area

Came Out So Pretty


I sit  in it to file the weekly bills

I also picked up a few items while at Canton and Goodwill that I have yet to share. So take a look:
GW 1.00 Cute to spray paint for a redo in the summer
1.99 GW Vera Bradley lunch tote retail 27.00. I love my Vera!


2.99 GW just thought it was cute
7.00 In Canton we bought two

Dressed my reborns in pink. Either you love em' or you think they're weird
I also tried a new recipe ranch chicken. I just added ranch dressing to the chicken half way through the baking process and made a quick salad delish! Shan also made an after dinner drink that I loved!

Fresh Salad of arugula mushrooms roman tomato&feta 

Orange Cosmo/made by Shan 
Ingredients were simple:1 part Dekuyper (orange flavored) triple sec, 2 parts vodka, and 1 part cranberry juice. We garnished with a  slice of orange.
This sweet surprise arrived  from an even sweeter bloggy friend it made me smile
And we have already gotten a grocery list for the Thanksgiving holidays done nothing heavy. I will set up a cute buffet style table for our guest and I have already put together a centerpiece that is very simple and I love it!
 I've been working on adding color to my porch and I am very excited about that I'll post those photos on Monday.
We have to take a trip to Hot Springs tomorrow for Shans appointment so during that trip I will make a list of purchases that I want to make for my kids. I hope Christmas shopping will be done by the end of the month but I still have time to search for specific deals. I have already purchased half the items so half the task has already been done.
I'm off to sleep I have lots to do. I'm looking forward to the weekend and hanging out with friends hope you have something fun planned as well. Enjoy!

Thanks for dropping by my blog and leaving such a lovely comment :)
I love the make-over on the chair..it looks great! I just adore the colour red.
The ranch chicken looks yummy! I use to love having three cheese ranch with my chicken, but I can't seem to find it over here in England.
Have a great weekend :)

Ok, girl you have some of the cutest kids (lol)! I like the chair, the pop of red definitely goes with the rest of the scheme of things in your place. And what a lucky find, I love that Vera Bradley tote:)!

And thanks for giving me the option for thinking that those re-borns are weird.
Enjoy the weekend with your friends!

Hi,
Love the red chair!!! The chicken looks simpy yummy. I'll have to give it a try. I am making a shopping list. Going to hit the store Mon. or Tues. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

My Mom was such a collector in her younger days and she had quite the cane chair collection. I guess that is why I love them. I have a few in the attic that I will be draging out of the attic and painting soon thanks to your inspiration! I'm so glad you shared - I truly had forgotten about them.

The red chair is another perfect pop of red throughout your house.

The Cosmo sounds great. It's very similar to a drink I make that's called a cranberry bog martini which has the same ingredients just a little more cranberry and a few dashes of bitters. They're great for the holidays.

Got any good gin cocktails. I have a huge bottle of Bombay Sapphire I'd love to use.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Hi Comeca! I just love the red chair. I want to own one too. It perfectly complemented your white painted wall.

I figure there are very few things that are not improved by a coat of glossy candy-apple-red paint. :) Thanks for visiting my blog!
