Fearless Friday, Pelican Stone
Things are moving along on the outdoor kitchen, and they started covering the base with stone earlier this week
“Hey, what do you think this piece of stone looks like?” asked HHjr
“Don’t you think it looks just like a pelican?” he exclaimed
“Yes! When they sleep on the pier they sort of fold up into a big pillow of feathers!” I agreed
“You should paint it…” he suggested
“Sure, might be cute…”
This pelican will likely migrate to the coast to join his cousins…just a silly little stone, but a fun memory of the outdoor kitchen build and a reminder of how much we love the beach!
Sometimes it’s fun to paint on a different kind of canvas!
Keep your eyes open for new things to transform!
Be Fearless!
Pssst...Come back by Sunday to see the now finished outdoor kitchen!
I will be joining these fabulous parties and blogs:
Meal Plan Monday Dishing it & Digging it, Between Naps on the Porch,
Merry Monday Make it Pretty Monday Celebrate and Decorate,

Creative mom, creative son! Love it!

I find a lot of joy in serendipitous things like your adorable pelican. He’ll always be a neat reminder of the kitchen project. Be sure to date it….time slips away, and we easily forget the years of what we think are the most memorable things!

I know, bad luck that the first weekend it’s finished we are having such nasty weather! I bet there will be a fire out there at some point though! Stay cozy!

I thought of you the whole time I was painting it, Lorraine, I’m sure you could paint a much better pelican than this silly one! But it was fun~

HHJr has your eye for all things art! It absolutely looks like a pelican and it will always bring back the time you build your outdoor fireplace and pizza oven. I think it will be a great addition for your beach house. Love how you painted it Jenna……………

He definitely does, and gets very creative in his tile work…he also does tons of creative other things, like building an indoor putting green in our basement! I’ll have to post it sometime, it’s fairly amazing!
