Simon Says Wednesday, Anything Goes!

This is for our favorite restaurant owner, Gabe.

He runs the Hot Stove Saloon in Harwich Port and we have been 

going there for 20 years, since he opened.

Back in 2017 when he found out we were going to be Grandparents he gave 

us a sweet little HSS T-shirt for the baby, Penny.

Last week we had her for a few days and took her there, she finally 

got to meet Gabe and when he saw her he said 'come with me'

Penny is now the owner of a very stylish HSS Sweatshirt!

Gabe is just too, too kind!

Oh, and if you ever go, order the Zucchini Fries!

Love that aged and weathered look!

I find it helpful to start with a shade of blue or teal card stock

when creating a patina.

This looks blue here but there is much more green in it.

Thanks for sailing by!
