Birthday Week Finds - And Your Freebie Texture(s) Await....

Hello friends,

Happy Monday!! How was your weekend?

Mine was smashing!!  :) And I have to say I am really glad I took the time to soak it up, enjoy life, my family... fresh air and the sunshine.... because we are in for an entire week of rain....

'sigh'....  

The city just 30 minutes from our little town has been declared a state of emergency... homes are being evacuated, roads into and out of the city have been shut down.... The Canadian army has been called in....

So I have not one thing to complain about! But I am praying the rain stops.... and soon!

.....

Today I wanted to share my birthday week goodies...  I self-declared this past week, my birthday week....and gave myself a little prop budget.... What could be better than shopping for bargain props?  :) 

I wanted to share a few of my finds with you all. I just know you will appreciate them much more than my house of boys!

So let's get to it..... 

I had some fun processing today's images with one of my fav textures called Sonnet2 from The Studio Collection... along with a new magic texture that I just released to the Test Kitchen members.  If you are a TK member be sure to download the set.  It's pretty fab I must say....I will have more details on how everyone can get it along with the other 3 textures in the magic set in tomorrow's texture tuesday posting. {Or join the Test Kitchen and it's yours for FREE.}

Found this FAB pitcher at Winners (Canada's version of TJ Max)....  I adore the shape and details....

Then I found these sweet little bowls... so pretty... had to have them..... Here they are in Black & White....

and here they are in color..... Okay so I had some fun in photoshop...  they are actually a lovely blue.....  but I couldn't resist muting the tones....

They came in soft green and blue.... So I nabbed what they had.....

I do have a few more treasures to share.... but I will stop here. :)

And now for today's new freebie texture. And seeing as it's Mother's Day Week..... how bout 2 Freebies? I can't wait to see what you all do with these.
