It's been a while since I've posted a new piece but I'm hoping to have a new release here in the next few weeks. However, I just wanted to pop in and say hello! HELLO! :) "Painting the world beautiful one piece at a time!" - Jessica Da Ponte

SOLD! French Provincial Two Tier Side Table. Price: $75... Recently refinished in Aubusson blue chalk paint, dark antiquing glaze and touches of gold gilding wax to really make it sparkle. It was also fully sealed with two durable top coat finishes for added durability and water resistance. P/U: Brampton, Ont. X-posted

What an enchanting photograph by Janine Daponte Photography. It's talent like this that makes me wish I was a little girl again so that I too could be a Fairy Princess. :) Stunning!

It's been a really long time since I've posted any updates in regards to my painted furniture and that's because for the past year or so I've been changing things up a little bit. Although I still love to go shopping and refurbish vintage finds whenever possible, I've had to put some of that on hold due to a medical condition. I am a firm believer in fate and that whatever challenges have been cast before me the universe had a good reason for doing so. Perhaps that reason was... to force me to concentrate on other areas in my life that I am passionate about for example, all aspects of natural health and making things beautiful inside and out. While my husband and I are working on a new project which will be more focused toward natural health, I've been keeping busy helping out Janine Daponte Photography with their ALL NEW, exclusive, outdoor fairytale photo sessions. Off and on for the past couple of years I have had the pleasure of working with these two talented individuals on some of their set designs and styling. To catch a glimpse of what we have all been up to and to see the extraordinary talent of Janine Daponte Photography, please click on the link below. Also, if you have any of your own little Fairy Princesses at home or know someone that does, please be sure to register to their mailing list on their website for further booking information or check back with them on their Facebook page at 8:00pm for full details tomorrow. These sessions are only being offered for a limited amount of time, so if you are interested be sure to book your time slot as quickly as possible. I wish you all a wonderful day and a safe long weekend! Jessica
