Very Pinteresting

The day was bright and beautiful and we had a very pinteresting afternoon ahead of us. We were taking an idea we found on Pinterest and the project was by Martha Stewart. As always we the group start by having a delicious lunch. This week our lovely host was Betsy and she served the most amazing salads, homemade rolls and fruit. Our dessert was fresh strawberry shortcake, yummy. Bisquick of course!

 Our lovely host and her beautiful daughter Lauren. Thank you Lauren for all your help, you were a wonderful hostess.

 The table setting was inspired by pretty tables Betsy found on Pinterest as well. With the use of repitition of the vases and flowers she created a huge impact on the lovely table. 

 The colors were so bright and vivid with the freshness of spring in the air. She used hues of yellow, gold, white and orange. Perfectly matching our takeaway gift, which were satin jewelry pouches filled with bangle bracelets. Oh so lovely!

 Our super delish strawberry shortcake, oh yummy. 

 So on to our project, which was handpainting glass containers and vases. 

 We used Marthas Stewarts paint which is specifically for painting on glass. 

 Here you can see that I taped off my vase and gave it two coats of the glitter paint. I painted the vase on the outside. Some of the lovelies rolled the paint on the inside of the vases and they came out really cute as well.

Voila, it has dried overnight and ready for my spring peonies. Thank you Betsy (and Lauren) for supplying us with another awesome fun project and delicious lunch. Your the best!
