I am chalkboard crazy! Love them...I adore leaving notes around the house, or being able to write a beautiful quote to share with my family and friends. Last weekend, I stopped at the Dollar Tree to pick up some candle sticks for an upcoming project, and ended up buying this silver platter. Yep...just $1. It's not aluminum, or at least it doesn't feel like one of those flimsy aluminum foil pieces. It is actually very sturdy, so I thought...hmmmm....chalkboard? Of course!
I meant to take a picture of it before I painted it. I always do. But, there I was with my finger on the trigger of my favorite chalkboard spray paint, and I remembered to grab my camera...figures!
So, I spray painted it with 3 coats of chalkboard paint...ummm...love, love, love it! I am now thinking of doing some kind of wall gallery that includes some of these!
This one is going to my shop/booth along with my sweet little desk. I'm a little sad about letting it go now that I have painted it, but I have had a few inquiries about it already, so ...
Let me just say, since finding chalkboard spray paint, I have been able to do so much more! It's one of my favorite products out there!

I want to know what you have over the MAson Jar to make it look like a cute little lamp. My daughter is using vintage Mason Jars on the table at her wedding reception for flowers and candles.
