WHITE WEDNESDAY AT RUST AND RUFFLES

Welcome to another White Wednesday at Rust & Ruffles (previously known as junkdreams)....
Today I wanted to show you a little chair that I have had in the garage forever...I finally finished it up this week and had a chance to snap some pictures of it outside between rain storms.

Sitting on top of the chair is a gorgeous "crown" jar my dad gave me from his collection.
Please visit Kathleen's blog and check out all the White Wednesday participants.
Thank you Kathleen for hosting!!
Happy day!

    I think that chair of yours is the prettiest thing I've seen in a long time! It's magical! Such gorgeous photos of it too, sitting by those flowers. And the blue jar full of pink peonies. I LOVE IT!
    Happy White Wednesday!

    I absolutely LOVE this idea Janis!!! That chair is too cute and I love the crown jar with peonies too.
    I am so disappointed. Last year was the first year my beautiful light pink lacy peonies bloomed and they did wonderful. This year they had several buds and NOTHING! The buds are now gone. I wonder if it was this wonky weather we have been having. I miss them!! :(
    Blessings~

    Oh my Janis, an
    absolutely marvelous chair. Did you stencil the fairytale saying on the seat?
    It's so precious and also a great source of inspiration.
    If i'm lucky enough to bump into a nice chair needing a makeover I'll certainly steal your super neat idea.
    thank you for inspiring me.
    nice jar & peonnies, too. love the crown!
