Recent Finds and Comment Section Adjusted

Wow if that exciting title doesn't grab your attention, I don't know what will ;)!!!!!

Here are two items I recently got on Craigslist and from Goodwill. They may be going into a home I'm redesigning...

Remember my post last week on hexagons? Well I found the mirror above on Craigslist that day and just had to get it. I may be using it in the home I'm redesigning or I may keep it, as it matches my Flea Market block print of bees so well...

A close up...

We'll see! I also found this beauty for dirt cheap at the Goodwill the other day...

Stop by in a couple of weeks-I'm going to paint the console above something fun!! 

Also, I want to let all of my Fresh Quince friends know that I recently adjusted the comment section to allow all to comment. For those that don't have google, etc., you can leave a comment as anonymous. I did this just in time for the fantastic GIVEAWAY I'm hosting tomorrow!!!!! Here's a sneak peek...

So be sure to stop by and enter! You all are going to love it!!! 

Lastly, be sure to stop by Splendid Willow or A Perfect Gray for another awesome giveaway of these natural rubber boots...

Happy Tuesday everyone!!! xxDanielle
