I'm getting brave in the DIY & crafting world...:) Are these headed to the shop? I have been trying to get some projects done and am having pretty good success!

You have convinced me.) I just saw a finish in a magazine I wanted to try to replicate and I think it could be done with a similar treatment. Thanks for the fine finial tutorial! I do so love that you are still clearing out stash (the October overhaul lives on!) and finding surprises. I have done that several times recently. Treasure abounds!Liz @ Quirky Vistashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12619479131117781394noreply@blogger.com
