a storm, a teacup and a tiny table...

Hello to everybody,
I hope you are all enjoying the beginning of a lovely weekend.
As much as I love spending most weekends up the Sunshine coast at the house, I do appreciate the quiet Saturday mornings I have back here in Brissy bayside, with both teenagers staying out at friends, I enjoy a little bit of solitude to do my own thing.
It's been a roller coaster few weeks here with all the running around I've done getting my boy to the finish line. Tertiary applications are in, graduation is over and the formal has been had, just a few preparations for 'schoolies week' and I'm done!!
This morning I rose early to finish off my tiny table I've been working on. You know the one, I snatched it off a lovely old mans pile a few weeks ago during the kerbside collection.
While the famous chalk paint was drying, I walked down to the monthly farmers market on the waterfront. Brissy certainly has put on a stinking hot muggy overcast still day, a couple of rain drops fell to refresh the masses of people weaving in and out of fresh produce stalls.
After grabbing a take away coffee, I couldn't resist these yummy pastries to take home.

 Almond filled croissant and sour cherry danish...yum!

As I strolled along the ever so calm somewhat eerie waterfront, dark rumbling clouds loomed overhead. I literally stepped onto my driveway, when a huge lightening bolt flashed before me, followed by the loudest clap of thunder. As I put my key in the front door the heavens opened big time... Oh Queensland, you never fail to deliver a great tropical storm!
Anyhoo, as I type this post, the sun is shining, the power is back on and the day resumes!
Bla bla...let me now show you my little project I have been working on.

 I found this little table on a cute little old man's kirbside pile... he has the cutest little car too!

It has a broken leg... poor old thing, so a bit of wood glue and hopefully she'll hold.

Then a light sand, ready for the primer.

Time to apply the chalk paint still left over from my desk project. 'Limed White', I love this colour.

Back from my morning at the farmers market, paint is dry and ready to sand and distress followed by a Beeswax finish.

What a morning....what a week...time for a cup of tea!

Have a lovely weekend everyone, I guess my next thoughts now will be christmas related. It seems all you blogging friends out there have already started... I better get cracking!
