Happy Canada Day!! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and I hope my Canadian friends are all enjoying the extra day off today! The weather around here has been beautiful and we have had a couple of relaxing days hanging out by the pool. I expect that today will be more of the same. 🙂



With all of the nice weather, we are finally able to spend some time out on the patio and I am excited that I will get a chance to use my new little caddy and mason jars…





..





The caddy was actually an old planter of ours that I had re-finished a couple of years ago. It added a nice pop of color to our patio but, after two years of being left out in the rain, it went from this.







To this…







The wood on the bottom of the little crates had actually started to rot out so I ended up tossing those and was just left with the main caddy. Yes, it was definitely time for a new makeover!!



The caddy got a good sanding job and a new coat of . I just loved this blue when I saw it in the store and knew that I would have no trouble finding a project to use it on. I then wrapped some twine around the handle and added a chalkboard sign to the front {since I see many different uses for this in the future!}.



I spray painted the mason jars with a frosted glass and painted the lids in the same FAT paint. I then gave everything a couple of coats of sealant and they were good to go! The frosted mason jars work well in the caddy but also look pretty all lit up with tea lights.

You can even add some twine if you would like to hang them…











The mason jars would also look pretty in the caddy and filled with some fresh flowers. It’s patiently waiting to be filled…
