March for Babies

Looking for a great reason to buy a sign? I've got one! For the entire month of March, I'm donating $5 from every sign sold to help sponsor the South family in their March of Dimes, March for Babies Walk! So now's the time to visit my shop: http://www.perfectlydistressed.com and get a sign and help a good cause!!

Why March for Babies?
When you walk in March for Babies, you give hope to the more than half a million babies born too soon each year. The money you raise supports programs in your community that help moms have healthy, full-term pregnancies. And it funds research to find answers to the problems that threaten our babies. We’ve been walking since 1970 and have raised an incredible $1.8 billion to benefit all babies.

A little window shopping!

So as you know I sell stuff on Etsy....but I've also done a little shopping (and wishing) from the wonderful shops there too!

My first buy was a great little notebook from TheChameleonsAttic that really helped me keep my lists organized this past Christmas (and will be used again for next Christmas too!)

I have my eye on one of her rugs too!

My second find was a great little invention, from FrayBabyBibsandMore to keep the sippy cup off of the floor while we're out and about! With a few extra links this nifty little sippy cup sleeve attaches to anything and keeps the cup clean!!

My third buy on Etsy is this heavenly set of candle and reed diffuser from Lilac Ave! These are so much better than any of the things that I have found in the over-priced primitive and candle shops!


And the thing I love most about these shops (aside from their high quality products) is that these sellers are all members of the Homefront Team!

Take some time and check them out! You might just find the perfect gift or even a little something for yourself!

Today's Project

I've had these two shelves sitting around the house for about a week now and I haven't really had the time to attend to them, so today I am making myself get started.

One I'm going to keep (because I really like them), and the other will go up for sale as a OOAK.

I don't know that I'll ever find these particular shelves again, as they were something I stumbled upon in the first place.


I have decided to paint one barnyard red with an 'early American' wood top and quilt bar. Distressed of course, cause that's what I like to do!

The second (and one you'll see in my shop) is going to be left open to the buyers discretion!






It is so exciting when it comes out the way I pictured it in my head!


Now I have to find the right quilt (or something else good!) to hang on it!


And of course this will mean a trip to my favorite Tate's to find some goodies to go on top of it too!!
