I've been taking advantage of the lovely weather we've been having here in Annapolis. In addition to attending numerous sporting events and taking long walks, I've also been painting. I discovered (after all this time) that a quick spray paint of primer is saving me multiple steps painting all my keepsake boxes. I also finished these vintage candle holders that have been sitting in my "to do" box for quite some time. I love how they turned out and they will be decorating my mantle (at least until they decide to sell themselves in my etsy shop).
Anyway, I painted these with several coats of chalk paint and distressed them a bit with sand paper and a dry brush. I stamped them in tiny sections with French script just for fun! I have another pair I'm working on right now that I absolutely love, but I need to find some chandelier crystals to dress them up a bit.

I love how you painted chalk paint and then used the script. One of my favorite techniques. Love this post and it would be great if you would share on Simple & Sweet Fridays.
It's a great project. New Follower.
