★ Primitve Painted Antique Sled ★

First off...
HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!!!

I hadn't realized that it had been so long since my last post....
I have sort of been on hiatus (although I have been working on some things, most of which are either unfinished or need to wait until closer to Christmas for their unveiling).  However, I am finding things around my house that I have done but never shared.  One of those I will share today :)






















I painted this sled sometime in the spring/summer this past year.  I purchased it and another just like it for $15 each from someone in my town that was selling them in front of his house.  He was a collector and was looking to clean out some things.  He asked what I wanted them for, and I told him that my plan was to paint them.  He said he had never thought of that before and said that was a neat idea :)  I painted the other one too but plan on re-painting it because I'm not crazy about how it came out.  I will wait to post that one until I'm completely finished!

I have been seeing a lot of relatively simple (and relatively cheap!) ideas for homemade Christmas decorations, and I plan to try my hand at some of them... so I hope to soon be blowing up your feeds again with new posts!

I wish everyone and their families a very Happy Thanksgiving!  If you're from the northeast like I am and are also in the midst of this lovely noreaster, please be safe in your travels!
