FUN TABLE

Fun...that is what I would call this metal, rolling cart . Problem is.....it is now parked in my kitchen and I am thinking of keeping it. Thinking it would be great as a serving table.
What do you think? Isn't it "fun"?

SWEET!

a good friend of our have a new baby girl.....Londyn Grace. She joins big sister Luci. Mommy to these two beautiful girls asked me to do something to put on the girls bathroom walls. I think they turned out sweet. I do not have a sister....but, I do believe the sentiments expressed. What a special relationship!

A FEW THINGS THAT ARE KEEPING ME BUSY...

MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE......a friend in Seattle had asked me to present her mother with a gift certificate (to the paper-roSe of course!!). So,this is how I presented it to her...as a message in a bottle. Happy Mother's Day Marian! I chose the teapot because Marian is all about tea! This girl knows how to do a tea party right!
teardrop on a sterling silver wire.....simple!





(please excuse wrinkles and age spots!)




this was an idea I stole from my swap buddy, Cassie. She sent me vintage music sheets. Love them!!!!





A couple of special mother's day orders that I did......hand-punched sterling silver......






tools of the trade.......ok....the secret is out.......I am a messy creator





























Mother's Day was a great day for flea marketing....we found alot of neat pieces for the sale. Can't wait to get the paint brush out and transform!






















won't this be cute with numbers on the drawers??

SPRING SUPPLY SWAP

I just participated in a spring supply swap, through the Shabby Chic Cottage. What fun! I was paired with Cassie from Primitive and Proper. She lives in Maryland. And she is my soul sister! She paints furniture! She is one creative lady. I love everything that she sent to me. Please check out her blogsite:
All kinds of awesome goodies.....rubber stamps, white milk glass, vintage postcards, a cute little iron flower hook, vintage ads, and vintage sheet music! Cannot wait to get to work on some projects.......


how cute is this??? The butterfly is cut from an old ceiling tin, the vintage jewelry pieces I will use on some new pieces.....and the frame itself! OMG! Love it....will hang earrings on it.
