Framed Seasonal Botanical and a Give-Away Winner

First of all I want to thank all of you who came by on the Blogger Fall Tour that Brenda from Cozy Little House worked on so hard. Thankyou for all the wonderful comments. You know how to make a girl's day! Brenda brought together 28 "oldies" and "newbies" for the tour and you'll find tons of wonderful Fall Inspiration. If you didn't catch the line up, I'll have it here at the end of this post. You don't want to miss it!

I saved my Kitchen Sitting Area for a bit later, since I still have a few extra things I'm tweaking. One thing I hadn't had a chance to do was update my little vintage frame with a current Seasonal Botanical Print.

Owl Pillow cover from 

Elliott-Heath Designs.

I've shared with you before HERE, how I painted and highlighted this old frame that had been in a box of "what do I do with this?" items that might have gone in a garage sale if I hadn't come up with an idea.

My Kitchen Sitting Area needed prints on either side of the china cabinet, last spring when I was decorating, so I thought some Botanicals might be something fun that I could change out for each Season. The gold wasn't working well, so I painted it using a leftover mix of ASCP.

Then highlighted it with a light touch of antique gold.

This was this Spring's choice; dancing Tulips.

To keep it easy to change out, I didn't use glass;

 just cardboard backing with an old wallpaper sample.

... a Sunflower for this Summer.

Now, this Giant Zinnia or maybe a Dahlia.

Hopefully, I'll share the Sitting Area next week.

But now it's time to announce the winner of the 

Pick Your Pillow Fall Give-Away...

Thanks to all of you who entered, pinned, and browsed the shop!

This is the Fall Pumpkin Pillow

 that Heather from Elliott-Heath Designs created for me.
