fresh merchandise and great furniture find

Recently took some items to shop and marked some things down to get them moving faster. So if you are in the area, stop in and grab some bargins! Look for the yellow star tags and some red clearance ones too.

Long story short we came across someone giving away their furniture. We are talking multiple dressers and a desk, cabinets, etc...




I am beyond thrilled to be giving these solid wood 1970's pieces a facelift and then get them into their new homes! BUT they are on the backburner for a month or so while I clean up smaller projects I have lying around here. :) I will share the before and afters for sure though.

have a creative day...

Estate Sale Find

I can't believe I have yet to share this with you. I was so thrilled to find these vintage fabrics about a week ago. They were hid among old rags, torn linens and discolored pillows. lol I haven't even measured the yardage but do plan to use it soon on a project or two. The blue striped ticking fabric has a good weight to it and can be used for most any small upholstry repairs...or even PILLOWS! The best part....yeah, the Raggedy Ann patterened muslin material. She's fuzzy. lol I can't wait to get started on a project with this material. Do you love vintage fabrics? I'm not even a seamstress or anything close to that but I do appreciate wonderfully old fabrics. :)

Do you ACCESSORIZE???

I personally do but on a simpler and more personal level. I place things in my home that have some form of meaning, history or use actual.everyday.photographs. Do you collect something that makes you happy? Please share!

Here are a few more pieces added in at the shop...

Organizing & Creating

Lots of organizing going on in my work room to purge those projects that just didn't pan out and to get a better feel for all the fun bits and pieces that I forget that I have. Upon clearing off my hidden work table (imagine MOUNDS of items here, lol)...I felt inspired to create this sign. First of many, I have been wanting to create some for awhile. These two ladies, Marian & Susie, have inspired me over and over with there amazing signage skills. Since aquiring my overhead projector I have been wanting to handpaint some of my creations.





back to cleaning...or creating. :)

fill 'er up!

ok not quite, there is always room to add items as they go pretty quickly but we did add some interesting things today.









the weather is starting to produce some great Estate sales and such. I love browsing thrift shops as well...always looking for that unique MUST.HAVE.ITEM!

have a creative day!
