The case for honest timber

Hope you enjoyed this glimpse of the countryside around here.. And I hope you either get lots done on the Holiday tomorrow, or nothing at all, depending on what suits you best at the time!Last week we decided to throw together a little “party” for Kennedy and a couple of her friends.

I did try it with a really cheap utility type of paintbrush and it didn’t work so well for that.The metal on those ones seems to rust with this kind of exposure, so keep that in mind if you have a really special 50 cent paintbrush that you want to keep..This is how it will look after soaking for a couple of days.
