The top thing on my list to find at the Country Living Fair this year was a chalkboard and my aunt spotted one almost right away! I am so happy that I was able to bring it home especially with only a $15 price tag! I told the ladies at the booth I bought it from that it was the only thing I was looking for and they were pretty happy for me.
It literally fits perfectly in the spot I wanted to hang one! I love that I was able to get one with graphics on it too. The little train has animals and ABC's on it.
Isn't it so cute!? I don't have a lot of purple in my house but.......
.....it is a two sided board and the other side is black!
It had a screw on each side so it must have previously had a stand so that it could be flipped.
I added some hardware at the top so that I could hang it and that way I can also flip it to either side. I think it looks great. I got it so that I could write bible verses on it that I want my son to learn. Also to add holiday sayings on as it will be one of the first things people see when they walk in our house.
I also picked up another blue seltzer bottle to go with my collection, I now have 4, two with tops and two without. This one was only $15 too.
I picked up a $10 grab bag that has all sorts of vintage goodies in it. ribbon, ric rac, wrapping paper, appliques, cards, etc.
I grabbed this one because of this cute little cat, I don't know what I am putting her on yet but she will be used!!
Lastly, we stopped at a thrift store on the way home and I grabbed this vintage tree skirt kit. It has snowmen and santas on it and it will be something to finish probably for next Christmas.
It was a great weekend with fun finds. I am already planning out next year because my country chic sis-in-law will be with us and she has never been there before. She is going to love everything!!

Jess, love your finds. The chalkboard is great. I am going to have to put a Bible verse on my chalkboard by the front door. That would be a great place to write a different verse on each month. Thanks for sharing your finds!
ReplyDeleteIt's a great way to share the Word with family and everyone who walks in the door! Thanks!
