I picked up some Chalk Board Paint from Home Depot yesterday and I am planning to paint all my terracotta pots this week. Fun!
I tested out one quickly today. I wanted to have a pretty design instead of just using regular masking tape. I used the borders from left over label stickers, applied them to my planter -
applied paint and then ended up with this :) Very cute.
You are supposed to apply the paint with a foam roller so it will end up nice and smooth. I didn't have one and just used a regular cheapo craft paint brush which definitely left brush marks.
I also planted a bunch of lavender seeds this long weekend. They say it will take 10-28 days to germinate before I can plant them outside. Crossing my fingers... this is the first time I have planted anything. GROW LAVENDER GROW !

I think it was clever to use the left over label stickers.
