~ a funny note about the nester ~
as a child, my friends and i would draw on our sidewalks. we not only drew on ours, but we kept going down the street. we would draw on everyone’s sidewalk! :o) i was always baffled that some neighbors would shoo us away! i thought how silly they were, didn’t they know good artwork!
thanks everyone for participating! the lucky winner is texasdecor!

i’ve been anxiously waiting for my chalkboard print to arrive. when it was delivered, this is how it appeared out of the mailer. it was such a nice presentation, it felt like a special present had arrived! oh, yes, this would make a nice present for a friend or relative!
oh, my goodness the grey tissue, the lovely postcard, and the beautiful satin ribbon is just beautiful. if you are active on instagram definitely find me and dear lillie and follow both of us. she has many great interior photos that will inspire you.
here it a close up of the high quality print. it isn’t an actual chalkboard, but looks similar to a mat photo. the writing definitely appears like chalk and even has the chalk smudges that make it look authentic. by the way, the winner will receive the 11 x 14 size print that will need to be placed into a frame.
i just love this saying by william cullen bryant. i’m a big fan of autumn, so of course i fell in love with this immediately! dear lillie has some christmas boards and it looks like they’ll restock this item as the holidays are upon us.
if you aren’t the lucky one who wins, maybe just treat yourself to this wonderful chalkboard. thanks again for visiting and taking part in my little celebration. here’s to more wonderful posts in the near future!
i hope you enjoyed this post. as always, comments are welcome and encouraged.
cheers,
janine

Chalkboards have taken off, haven't they? One of the things on my kitchen reno wishlist is a chalkboard wall that we can all use as a creative outlet. Unfortunately, our kitchen is teeny tiny. So that won't happen. I'll have to think of somewhere else. 😀
I love how you framed it and I love all the swirly scrolls in the print.
Most of all, I love your cute li'l notes about the nester – I get to learn bits about you. xo

Hi Miss Coco!
Yes, the chalkboard thing is so hot right now! I just posted a chalkboard wall on my facebook page, check it out when you get a chance. I'm afraid if I put one up, my family would be drawing on it all the time!! :o)
I know, the frame is really pretty! The photo didn't quite capture the gold leaf that comes through. I bought it at Pier One Imports, they had the white/gold and white/silver. Both were so pretty.
Ok, I'll put your name into the hat!
Happy Wednesday!

I am loving the chalkboard paint trend. Planning on doing a half wall in home office, hoping it will keep the paper clutter down and is so much nicer than a clumsy dry erase board. Love what you do ♡
Janine Waite
Hi PJ,
Thanks so much for commenting! I'm so happy for all your great input!!! Your chalkboard wall sounds like an awesome idea, I would love to see it when you're done. I've been wanting to paint a wall, but haven't figure out which one to do. :o) I definitely will put your name into the giveaway hat! Good luck!
Cheers and have a great day!
