burlap...for Free...

Yep, I just got a pile of burlap bags for free....

there was a man down our road, the back of his truck was filled with piles of burlap sacks...

so I just had to ask him where did he get so many bags,

well he didn't tell me he just said "I use them for deep pit" ...

"you want a pile?"

did I want a pile?

of course!!!!!

I asked him how much and he said....

for free!!!!

hooray for me...

and hooray for you!!! cause I am going to give four people a bag...

cause I like to share too...

there is this super cute weiner dog...

or

 this California Potatoe bag...

all you have to do is leave a comment and I will randomly pick four winners Aug. 1st.

good luck!

these are used bags so some little holes and maybe some little stains.

note: deep pit is where you dig a hole, start a fire and when it is all coals you put your meat, pork or beef, wrapped in butcher paper then wet burlap and throw on top of the coals, then cover with dirt and wait hours.

when you take it out it is super moist and pulls apart.

(just one way of doing it)

something so small and easy that can make someone happy!

in a cute basket...

plums...

cucumbers, eggplant, squash, tomatoes...

green peppers and cherry tomatoes...

and some fresh herbs

got me some...

well I got me some of that Annie Sloan Chalk Paint, so I thought I would start small...

this is the finsished project,

this is what she looked like at first...prepare yourself, really scary!!!!

I found this bust, she is  made of a lightweight product, I thought she would look good in my booth to display jewerly on, but ewwwwwww, I guess thats supposed to look like moss...

I just brushed Paris Grey all over her, not neatly,

then brushed Old White on to make it look like cement,

I think she looks much better, not like a zombie anymore!

Hi, Welcome to my space where I create hosted by Karen from My Dessert Cottage

The Pink Craft Cottage...

the inside is the same as last year, I was going to show you the outside which has changed, all the flowers have really grown in...

but!!!!!

I have sweet little cottontail bunnies who live under it,

and two doggies who decided to dig trenches around it

 and demolish some of my plants...

soooooo sad!!!

so I will have to show you the inside again,

a repost of last year... I have some new followers that may not have seen it.(to see all the pictures click here)

maybe next week I will show the outside after I fill the trenches back in...

enjoy...
