Whew, I'm dragging!
Yesterday, we worked in the yard planting and transplanting. We still have more to do, and I'll show you that when we get a little farther along.
In the meantime, here's a little egret planter I found.
The glaze was rough and cracked, and the paint looked worn, but I dragged it home because I have a thing for Egrets and pottery from the nineteen forties and fifties
So, I got out the Heirloom White spray paint and went to it.
~~~~~~~~ AND ~~~~~~~~~~
When I was checking out the back yard today, I managed to get a photo of "Newbie", one of our ferals...having an afternoon snoozle.
And, I'm ready for a little snoozle, too.
Hugs,
Babs

Oh what a fun piece, I love it and yes, I so agree just spray paint it. It really is lovely. Thanks tons for joining Inspire Me. Hugs, Marty
Snoozle! That's a cute one, Babas. It's been a long day for me. I think a snoozle sound like a great plan. ~ Sarah
Love the egret in white & love your secretary.
He looks really good in heirloom white. I spray painted a couple owls last fall. It does work well.
It turned out looking great! It looks great on your secretary. I hope you are rested up so you can show us more :-)
Good Morning Babs, You have been a busy bee. I would never have thought of spray painting, but you have given me an idea for a lamp stand which I have....mmmm must go hunting for spray paint.
You have made such a difference to the egret, it looks so much nicer now and beautifully display.
Best Wishes to you,
Daphne
What a sweet planter you rescued-looks so very cute now.
By the way, Newbie is a very handsome boy.
Oooh - what a great find! I never cease to be amazed at the transforming power of spray paint.
You huffed and puffed and breathed wonderful new life into this egret!!! What a transformation!!!! It looks great, Babs! I always forget that paint can make a huge difference. Maybe it's because I'm lazy! :-)
I love the transformation! It looks very elegant and expensive now.
Pretty! I love Heirloom White!
Snoozle, LOL! Love the new life for your egret with your spray paint! Your sweet feral looks like he's found a happy home :)
What a brilliant idea! x
Oh, I love it! I posted a little duck today that reminds me of your planter! Great minds think alike! heehee!
how lovely!!!! I just spray painted my foam planters last night....amazing what a can of spray paint can do!!!!
You did a great job transforming that egret planter. It's much prettier in all white. It looks perfect on your secretary. I didn't know you had stray cats living near you. That's kind of sad that he doesn't have an official home!
Perfect, the paint was an excellent idea. Love his new look!
Love the egret planter! Great idea to paint it, I wouldn't have thought of that!
A fun planter Babs. I really like it with the new coat of paint. Yard work tuckers us all out. I love it, but I walk like a zombie at the end of the day. lol! Thanks for sharing with SYC.
hugs,
Jann
Hi Babs, Great job with the egret. I love them too. You did a great job with it. Looks great on the secretary. I am working in the garden as well. No veggies, just flowers and shrubs. I have been cutting some of the azaleas almost to the ground. I have been doing a little each week and Bob is helping. He sits in a chair and lobs off the branches. I load them in the cart and haul to the street for pickup. Whew, I am dragging too.
Hugs, Ginger
