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!!

dE-stressing!

Today I differ. Today I de-stress. Wait strike that. This WEEK I dEstress! This past 2.5 weeks I have been working on a huge order for the Dolphin Store in Groton, CT. This order included a whopping 44ft. of wood. It was a little overwhelming looking at it all sitting on my desk, but today as I'm putting the final eye hooks in and cutting the ribbon to tie around them and get them off in the mail tomorrow, I feel a great sense of relief!

One day I might go back and calculate how many letters I painted on this whopping forest of signs!

Here ya go....42 ft (there's another Proud US Navy Family sign that didn't make it in the picture!

Voila!

Its been 2 of 'those' weeks. Those weeks are weeks where I am so busy getting so much accomplished yet I feel like nothing has gotten done! So crazy where I intend to paint my stool barnyard red and yet it somehow ends up black! But VOILA, here is the finished Salvation Army saved stool! (Still haven't gotten around to the other one, but I am determined it will be barnyard red!)
