GET INVOLVED

I wish I had a cure for evil. Just take this pill and you would never take advantage or abuse anything or anybody ever again. I just went into my facebook and saw a picture of a baby dog that had been abused and it made me cry and if you know me personally then you know, it takes a lot to make me cry! I can’t post the picture because I can’t bear to look at it, but believe me, its bad. This really touched by heart and it’s hard to believe there are those people walking and talking among us!! I am an easy going person and I’ll be the first one there if you ever need help, but you want a fight? You’ve got one with me if I ever see anybody abuse an animal, a child, an elderly person or anybody helpless to defend themselves. It takes an evil person through and through, working directly for the devil to do these things. I am asking EVERYONE to please don’t be that person to look the other way because you don’t want to get involved. If you even suspect anybody of doing these things, if nothing else, call the police…..do something, anything to help!!!!

Southern Reputation

People in the north think of the south as being redneck. I was born and raised in the south and in some parts of the south, yes it’s true, they are redneck. Some area’s I think they actually pipe sunshine in! hehe!! Just kidding, but I was out shopping a month or so ago and I saw these redneck wine glasses. I looked it over and thought……wow, I can make those!!! So I buy all of the supplies that I think I will need and I start making them. So cute, and they are great for filler up and go!! And to top it off, it’s no spills in the car or flying bugs to get into it outside as well as a great conversation piece for those non-southern people!!!! I also started making one of a kind cake plates too!! The cake plates I make are really awesome and some are very old imported china with crystal glass and some are just unusual and different!! Like I have said before, I like different. Here are a few pictures to give you an idea of what they look like and I sell them at Southern Estates Antiques in Greenville, SC.

Before and After

It was a gorgeous weekend with sunshine and warm days in the south!!! Love it!! I worked in my yard while Otis and Selena ran around. I hope you had a great weekend too!!! I actually found the time to clean up my garage. So much dust from sanding!! I really need a studio!!! I also finished two pieces I have been working on for a while. These have wallpaper on them either inside, outside, or both which is a lot of work…. for me anyway. I am love’n the finished pieces but man, it’s a job!! I forgot to take a photo of the inside of the end/night table, but it has wallpaper also. I will take a quick photo today and post it later. These are finished in Ann Sloan chalk paint and clear wax. Since I started my blog, I have found so many talented, creative, and amazing people. It inspires me to be more creative and to think outside the box. So, I would appreciate your thoughts…tell me what you think!! Meet before and after…Marissa (Chest) and Junette (end/night table). Marissa would look great in a bathroom, hallway or bedroom and Junette in a den/living room or bedroom. They will be at Southern Estates Antiques in Greenville tomorrow.Pin It

OLD IRON

My gate leg table imported from England (Norma), found a home yesterday!! Woo hoo!!!! I know she will look fantastic anywhere she sits in a room. I am a crazy about old iron and I found several pieces the other day and I will be taking them to my space one day this week. These are seriously “one of a kind”. My babies, Otis an Selena are ready to get outside and lay around in the warm sunshine, so I think I am going to join them this afternoon and maybe plant a few pansies. I am so ready for summer!

Happy Monday everybody!!

I have been nonstop this weekend. I took some more fantastic accessories to Southern Estates Antiques Saturday. Here’s a few photos

of my room. To everyone who has bought something from me…. a BIG THANK YOU!! My first month has been a good one!! I hope February will be even better since I have 20% off on all furniture this coming month. I need the room for several new pieces I am finishing up. I even have a great piece with wallpaper on it. Barb, I have to hand it to you, working with wallpaper is not that easy to do on furniture. Maybe I haven’t done enough to be comfortable with it, but it differently un-nerves me!! I work 30 minutes and take a 15 minute break! hehe

Where’s the Sunshine?

Where’s the Sunshine? We have had too many rainy days in Greenville I always feel so much better when the sun is shining. I try to rummage around on the weekends looking for great bargains on furniture or accessories to re-sale, so I hope this weekend will be nice and sunny. Since I owned a furniture and gift shop for years, I can spot high end furniture a mile off!! No, I am not bragging!!! But when you eat, sleep and breathe furniture for years as I did, it becomes a normal process……Look for the best quality for the best pricing around. I have champagne taste on a beer budget and if it’s a bargain for me….it will be a bargain for you!!! I found this pair of salt and peppers shakers last week. I thought they were unusual. They are new with tags still on them and the clerk said she thought they may have solid silver in them. I didn’t really care about that so much…..I just liked the look of them. What do you think? You know, I should become a personal shopper. I also found a large black and brown leather Vera Wang handbag for $5.00. Looks new and I love it!
