Acts 2:46 Art – “They Broke Bread”

Popping in today to share my kitchen dressed up for Autumn.   And, I’m featuring some of my favorite Mary & Martha items in this post –  the Acts 2:46 Tea Towel that I framed, and the Grace & Gratitude Pitcher & Platter.  I’ll post the links to these products below.
Acts 2:46 Tea Towel Art
This year I decided to keep things simple in the kitchen and dining room and used mainly pumpkins and produce found at the local farmer’s market.

The flavors of fall – pumpkin, apple, pecan and more – can be summed up in one word – YUM!

Baby boo pumpkins fit perfectly on the window sill.

My vintage ironing board found a new home in the kitchen.  I moved the antique bucket bench to a new space and will share that soon!  The Acts 2:46 artwork is actually a tea towel from Mary & Martha.   The tea towel is quite large at 25 x 29 1/4″.  I ironed it and used a lightweight spray adhesive to attach it to a 24″ x 24″  artist canvas I picked up from Michaels.  Then I made a simple wood frame with a 24″ x 24″ inch opening to fit the canvas.  The tea towel artwork is by Lindsay Letters and if you look at the gorgeous art on their website, this is really quite a value for the size.

I picked up the blue Hubbard squash, Snow Ball pumpkin, and a pale green and cream gourd because I thought they looked so pretty together.
I’m sure I looked strange to the other shoppers as I held up various gourds and pumpkins to see which I liked the most!!!
Thanks for stopping by today to see my fall kitchen!  I’ll be back soon to share the rest of my fall home – see you then!
Below are the links to purchase the featured items from Mary & Martha.

I love white pumpkins. The craft store didn't really have any that I liked so I think I'm going to find some and just paint them white

Hi! We did that a few years ago for my son and daughter-in-law's wedding. She wanted the tiny white pumpkins for place cards - we needed 150! It was cheaper to buy the tiny orange ones and paint them white!! We used chalk paint and they looked great! Have fun!

Love the tea towel in a frame!! I was also wondering (just like everyone else ?), how big the frame is. I would love to know since yours is the only one that I've seen that I've liked.

Have a blessed day!!

Hi, Angela. Thanks so mucn - I know a lot of people have done the same thing! I used a 24" x 24" square canvas. To make this work, I used a seam ripper to open up the side seams so the fabric was just a bit wider to fit the 24" canvas better (I didn't want a seam visible). Once the side stitches were removed, I pressed the fabric and attached it to the canvas. Then, my husband made me a simple wood frame to fit the 24 x 24 canvas. We are working on a tutorial for making a frame yourself - since I get so many requests from this post! I should have that ready by next week.

Just bought this tea towel -- in love, just wondering what size you purchased? I think it will have to be custom since the size of the tea towel is 23.5 X 28

I am also wondering what size of frame was used for the tea towel? Thanks so much for your help! Everything looks beautiful! :)
