Better Late Than Never. . .

well it has been more than 6 months since I've blogged--time flies--and I really don't know why I'm busy. . .but here we go again. . .I will try again to blog (more faithfully this time)

The shop is "relatively" busy (but I can always use more business!) and I am trying to be more involved (again) at the antique shop (out of necessity--it has to sell enough to pay the booth rent and the cost of the merchandise).

So bear with me and I will try to keep you updated on the new offerings at the shop and at the antique shop...

celebrate. . .

this animal print garland is destined to be a decoration at a 60th birthday bash.  A custom order from Tamatha for her mom's surprise birthday party. . .animal print fabric with touches of burlap, tulle, and gold ribbon. . .hope the party is fun!

preview. . .

of goodness to come. . .a project in the works. . .wait until tomorrow. . .

twice as nice. . .

garden chairs. . .plant stands. . .beautiful antique chairs past their prime have been repurposed into plant stands (or should I say seats?) for the garden.  Perfect on a covered porch or patio!

more storage. . .

five drawer cedar chest of drawers with tons of storage. . .pretty glass drawer pulls. . . dry brushed in a creamy white. . .great clean rustic look.

endless storage. . .

full of possibilities. . .originally a 60's "double dresser" (minus the mirror). . .now a buffet or sideboard, a TV stand, or even a dresser (again!).  Dry brushed in white it has a rustic/French Country look.  Available at Troy Antiques.

through the looking glass. . .

Perfectly beautiful 1920's vanity with glove drawer. . .near mint condition.   I knew when I saw this vanity it would be even prettier painted white. The mirrors are original to the piece and so are the wooden drawer pulls on the bottom drawers and the glass drawer pulls on the glove drawer.  If you look closely you will see the white rabbit's reflection in the mirror
