Did I ever tell you that I hate painting??

But it's a necessary evil in the antiquing biz....

Not that these goodies are antiques
but I wanted to give them a fresh look!

I try to make them more versatile...

Simple cream satin paint....very lightly distressed.

Now hopefully this will work in more homes than it would have previously.

My amaryllis is just about touching the ceiling!!! What's up with that?

I put the final coat on the table....soft cream satin paint ~

A simple chalkboard on a cabinet door ~

There's something so wonderful about
seeing others create from your instructions ~
Sweet Minna Marika of Lumivalkoista 
(which means "Snow White")
bought my Nest Baby in a Jar tutorial,
created the little sweetie and it's PRECIOUS!!!

Thank you so much Minna Marika for buying my tutorial and
for sharing your beautiful creation with me ~

I'm off to Antique Griffin today to stock up!!!

I hope you have a wonderful Friday dear friends ~

hugs and love,

Dawn

Busy, busy, busy.....

So I'm trying to get a few things ready to take in Friday ~

Selling is good, right???

Last call on the new artwork in my shoppe too ~

Here's a table that I'm trying to transform into a swan:

Spring is here today!!!

It really is! The sun is shining brilliantly
and the air is even a little warmer.
Brent and Emily are working on their new garden
and little Clara is playing and oh-so-happy!

Chase and Noah are spending the night
with Brent and Emily tonight and
we are heading to DH's brother's home
for a nice relaxing dinner and even to spend the night!!!

I hope you're having a great Saturday sweet friends ~
I found this precious photo post card at Antique Griffin Thursday.

A few tiny projects ~

A sweet nest for you ~

While treasure hunting a few days back, I found this glass dome ~
just look at how this cast-off has been transformed into a beauty!!!
My goodies and gifts are inside now
(thank you so much for my nest Karin!)
but I will find something pretty to place underneath
before adding it to our antique space ~
I love the creamy bowl that I already had to become it's base.

I made a sweet candle holder/flower vase to sell too!!!

I've seen a few of these in magazines....glass globes from light fixtures
transformed into bird feeders!!!!
Now it just needs a tree....and a little bit of seed ~

A wonderful decanter that I discovered just waiting for a gorgeous label ~

I found this great punch at Michael's ~ and it was on sale 40% off!!!
It will be perfect to create tags for the antique space...

Thank you all so much for your kind words for my DH.
He's doing so much better!!! You all are so encouraging to me.
You truly are such a blessing in my life, thank you so very much ~

I hope you have a great Thursday dear friends,
love and hugs,
Dawn
