Primitive Life Organic Milk Paint

Hello Friends...

It's been awhile huh?

Many changes here in Florida...

Some personal some not...

My antique and collectibles hobby has expanded to

Wildwood Antique Mall in

Melbourne, FL along

with The Antique Emporium in

Cocoa, FL...

 

And my newest venture is being

a stockist for

Primitive Life Organic Milk Paint.

 

 

Have you tried this milk paint yet?

 

It's very easy to use,

It's made in the USA,

Non Toxic, Biodegradable, very little

to no prep needed.

 

(the large tool box is painted in Cotton and smaller

one painted in Loving Cup)

 

 



There are 12 historically inspired colors

and what I like best is that

you can control the thickness of the paint by

the amount of water you add to the

powder!!!

Cool beans for sure...

 

(The cement urn was also painted in

Loving Cup)

The paint goes along way...and it's ONLY

$22.00.

 

(I even painted the iron planter on the right,

sanded it and left it as is...the look is FAB!!)

Honey Bees in our backyard

Honey Bees....

Made a home in an old vintage trunk

in our back yard.

 

Over 10,00 honey bees....

 

When Ken the beekeeper opened the

lid of the trunk the whole comb

collapsed!

 

He did manage

to save some combs to take home.

 

Ken is looking for the baby bees that will

be transported into this temporary

frame kit.

 

Look at those honeycombs filled

with nectar and honey!!

Ken was kind enough to leave

us with some honeycombs for

us to extract the nectar and honey.

 

He then used some sort of

vaccum to suck up all those

bees to take home.

 

He did say that the bees are not harmed

while doing this.

 

 

Mmmmmmmmmmmmm

the honey is so fresh and tasty, especially

when it's from your own back yard.

 

It was a great educational experience...

my son and I were full of questions and Ken

was so patient with us and the bees.

 

I am seriously considering starting

a beekeeping hobby...

AFTER Fancy Flea of course.

Gateleg table

I normally like to paint my furniture

but my hubby insisted I keep the

original look.

 

The top was sanded to remove the old varnish.

 

 



I used several coats of Howard's Restor-A-Finish on the top

along with AS dark wax.

 

The leg area was so dull that I used Howard's Feed-N- Wax.

I love, love this stuff, it contains beeswax and Orange oil....seriously...

the furniture looks great when you use Feed-N-Wax!!

 

 

Less than 2 weeks for Fancy Flea in Lakeland...

I hope some of you can make it.

I am on the corner of Lemon and Kentucky!!

 

 

Have a great week,

Sylvia

Fancy Flea in Lakeland, FL

Hoosier cabinet

Happy October!!!

 

I was lucky enough to find

a 1920/30's Hoosier cabinet.

 

But as you can see it needs a lot

of TLC....removing the wallpaper...

 

 

removing the material lined shelves

along with the staples...ugh!!

 

 

Don't you love all that storage??

 

The bottom right corner is made out of tin...

pretty nifty!!

 

Cooling racks for those yummy

pies...

The wallpaper was removed but now

I have the wallpaper glue to deal

with....yep!!...it's going to be

a big project.

 

Have a great weekend,

Sylvia
