French Stenciled Crate

Bonjour Mes Amis!
Hope you all had a great weekend.
It's been so nice getting back to work creating in my craft room, after such a crazy summer. Boy, did I ever miss it!
So today I thought I'd share with you one of my latest creations, that I made for my Etsy shop.
You know how I love all things French. And aqua is one of my favorite colors.
Well, combine the two, along with some stenciling, and what do you get?
 Viola!  A fun and Frenchy aqua crate!
To the front I hand stenciled one of my favorite designs.
"L'Auberge" means inn or lodge.
 I added the number 4 to each side, representing the street address.

I used my favorite shade of aqua chalk paint by DecoArt.
So cheerful, I think!

 My grandma's antique treadle sewing machine made for the perfect backdrop for my photo shoot!
Thanks so much for stopping by!
Have a great week!

  1. So pretty Donna! The aqua of the crate and the pink flowers is calling my name. I hope you are all settled in and enjoying what's left of a busy summer. I've had a busy summer too and haven't been doing all the fun things I love either. Hopefully I can get back into as summer winds down. Have a great week!

  5. That is such a pretty color. I don't really have much in that Aqua color in my home but maybe one of these days I'll change things up around here. Glad you are back creating!
