Summer fun in the kitchen!

<div style="text-align: center;">I don't know about you guys but as soon as summer rolls around all I feel like doing is cooking! There is something about the smell of fresh herbs mixed with a warm breeze blowing through my kitchen window that I just find so inspiring! Erin and I both spend quite a bit of time browsing through various food blogs and have both stumbled upon a few recipes that we have book marked and put on our "must make" list for this summer.

When working with stain remember that it dries quickly so always finish the whole piece all at once rather than starting and finishing later.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8qzdOwgnc_iRfHPWcQpWOXHOev4MUvhbRAGwVzis_hbjm_CyqlW4_LS9puQvfqymLIwfBHUXTAiCj75-HHz_CXijc3ut0NUYdW6zRGvnfqS7w0zC1RPckD-017K-CveIh9gKJNLweTmg/s1600/wall+art+diy+step+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8qzdOwgnc_iRfHPWcQpWOXHOev4MUvhbRAGwVzis_hbjm_CyqlW4_LS9puQvfqymLIwfBHUXTAiCj75-HHz_CXijc3ut0NUYdW6zRGvnfqS7w0zC1RPckD-017K-CveIh9gKJNLweTmg/s1600/wall+art+diy+step+2.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>Second step - Cut out your stencil and tape it down.</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">While your stain is drying cut out your stencils.

First I taped the tall skinny stencil down and painted over it with two coats of orange paint. I let it totally dry before taping the second stencil on because I knew that I wanted them to overlap a bit, and then I gave the second stencil two coats of turquoise paint and let them both dry. It is important to be patient and let the first stencil dry completely before applying the second stencil because you don't want to risk smudging any paint.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnC-ZarVCDkmK2HBQ5Cg86gaWQ0UpJOCfZXQYaciGqQLDQqTC-Qe8OfOLS2BlgBOONqz8JpPG4-1yxswkkHyIA8jLY8jg-eOBmsIt5YB6HhOlTKpkhD2MSNBjm5YOoIYDJbRkcHYOP6tI/s1600/add+little+touches.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnC-ZarVCDkmK2HBQ5Cg86gaWQ0UpJOCfZXQYaciGqQLDQqTC-Qe8OfOLS2BlgBOONqz8JpPG4-1yxswkkHyIA8jLY8jg-eOBmsIt5YB6HhOlTKpkhD2MSNBjm5YOoIYDJbRkcHYOP6tI/s1600/add+little+touches.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b style="background-color: white;">Fourth step - Add little touches.</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">Instead of cutting out such a small stencil for the stem of the apple I decided to just paint the intricate details by hand using a small brush. Painting by hand can be tricky, so just be sure to go slow and take your time. Once you are satisfied with how the paint looks and it has dried, it is time to spray it with a clear coat. This is an optional step, but a<span style="background-color: white;">pplying a clear coat not only protects your art piece but it all gives the wood a nice shiny appearance. I am planning on hanging mine outside my house on the wall of my patio so I especially want to make sure that I give the wood a good thorough coating because I want to keep it protected from rain and humidity. You don't need to worry about this as much if you are planning on keeping your art indoors.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEin4846gwoXRmtVJYcZg-dTshTsAUTobfTPxQwuHyIfEfzxeS4FJmHcntGgHTcYzoNqx5wb8iPp1qcz6yrm-hb3oyRvIXf_2LOCPTwy4sYK41S1K5-K_m1YdWxXDwYn7rL8sGVjNHBTa4I/s1600/hang+it.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEin4846gwoXRmtVJYcZg-dTshTsAUTobfTPxQwuHyIfEfzxeS4FJmHcntGgHTcYzoNqx5wb8iPp1qcz6yrm-hb3oyRvIXf_2LOCPTwy4sYK41S1K5-K_m1YdWxXDwYn7rL8sGVjNHBTa4I/s1600/hang+it.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b style="background-color: white;">Fifth step - Hang it.</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">There are different options you can use to mount your piece: you could use a picturing hanging kit or you could get a little hook from your hardware store. I decided to take an even easier approach and I just drilled a half inch deep hole in the back. That way if I hammer a nail into the wall it will fit nicely in the shallow hole at the back of the wood. If you decided to use this method then be sure to <i>drill slowly </i>because you don't want to all of a sudden drill too far and have your drill come out the other side! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjehYCr-bxFCXp5L7zVN34aPJAPqOy3KMTUEzAaGO3tkraY74ZT6VN02G73Gc-ljt87ofSXuMO0TwotvgmUDXr8qaaEd_olzIS6qTLdCZq6a7dNV_VZEbvV6hBDqpcsbPFAWE7nZPiKxxU/s1600/diy+retro+wood+wall+art+final.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjehYCr-bxFCXp5L7zVN34aPJAPqOy3KMTUEzAaGO3tkraY74ZT6VN02G73Gc-ljt87ofSXuMO0TwotvgmUDXr8qaaEd_olzIS6qTLdCZq6a7dNV_VZEbvV6hBDqpcsbPFAWE7nZPiKxxU/s1600/diy+retro+wood+wall+art+final.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b style="background-color: white;">Enjoy!</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">And you're done!

Treasure Island Vintage

Today I discovered a new flea market.  It's on Treasure Island near the Bay Bridge in San Francisco.  It's only one weekend a month, so I didn't want to miss it.  Although I have lived in the Bay Area for several years, I have never been to Treasure Island.  It is really a wild and beautiful ride from the freeway to Avenue of the Palms where the flea market is located.  This fairly new flea market was the idea of a couple that wanted to have a flea market with vintage items along with handmade clothing, jewelry, furniture and more.<br /><br />I met my friend, Kathy, there who traveled via bus from San Francisco.  The first thing we saw was a giant wire sculpture of a beautiful, dancing woman.  I was told that it came from Burning Man and is called "Bliss."  As we walked through the main gate, we were met by a French singer playing an instrument from at least the 19th century.  It definitely set the tone. <br /><br />We spent at least two hours walking around looking at vintage and contemporary clothes, shoes, purses and cute dogs.   There were many other interesting there too, but I concentrated on the clothes.  I want to acknowledge three vendors that I met today that had my favorite vintage clothes.  (1) <i>C&M Vintage Pros</i>, 408-691-5741, jagman0007@yahoo.com; (2) <i>The Window Lady</i>, 510-326-6324, www.etsy.com/shop/thewindowlady and (3) <i>Nested Treasures</i>, 113 Rickenbacker Circle, Livermore.  Proceeds from <i>Nested Treasures</i> goes to help animals.<br /><br />And speaking of animals, there were many at Treasure Island Flea Market today along with the vintage clothes.  The ones in the baby buggies are actually service animals who enjoy being served.  There was also a fantastic band with a drummer who did not look over six years old.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
