Working on some more small things around here….. I had some MMS Milk Paint already mixed up for a little drop leaf table I am doing so in between coats of that I spied a little wood school chair in the pile of junk. Why waste time on BIG things which would actually make a difference? Not me, I just grab the little things because they're … [Read more...]
Pretty Milk Paint Table (MMS Dried Lavender)
November 8, 2013 By 16 Comments
My booth has been so full with the large pieces I finished for the Vintage Frame Of Mind show in September that I have not done much painting lately! I sold that pretty Grain Sack drop-leaf table which made a bit of room but I still haven't been motivated to add another large piece. Never fear…there are plenty of smaller tables and chairs to … [Read more...]
Velvet Pumpkin (or how I finally got on the bandwagon)
October 28, 2013 By 10 Comments
I'm not sure if you noticed but making pumpkins out of every material imaginable is all over the place. I saw gorgeous velvet pumpkins last year on several sites and thought I needed to make some this year. Well (apparently) velvet pumpkins weren't enough. This year I have seen pumpkins made of: -wood -old shirts -burlap … [Read more...]

This is the last post about the vintage market I did at the end of September. The sponsor was Kim from A Vintage Frame Of Mind. HERE is the link for Kim's FB page...go give her a like! This show was held in Currituck NC at the site of the Gravedigger.....a giant monster truck. It was a nice spot with a cute diner, a big bouncy thing for kids … [Read more...]

Back again with another piece of furniture I took to the vintage show in September! This Grain Sack Table turned out really great....IMHO...I wanted to keep it. I found the table at Salvation Army just two weeks before the show. I talk all the time about how my furniture pieces "talk" to me and tell me what they want to look like. Sometimes … [Read more...]
Farmhouse Table Makeover
October 21, 2013 By 18 Comments
I can still remember how I was able to burn the candle at both ends while twirling a baton and jumping on a beach ball..... Those days are LONG gone.... I was at a vintage market the last weekend in September and I swear, it has taken me a whole month to recuperate! So many things were neglected while I frantically painted furniture, made … [Read more...]
How to Make Faux Candles

I have been trying to finish this project for over a week! I kept getting sidetracked by annoying things like: -school starting (it never seems to happen at the right time....like July 1st) -out-of-town company (which forced me to clean up all the crap on the dining room table) -Dr appointments for the kids (they need to toughen up....who … [Read more...]

Last Saturday we had some company for dinner. My brother, sister-in-law and her Mum, who was visiting from the UK. I cleaned off the dining room table in honor of them.......and I've kept it clean because for the next two weekends we will be having company. All I need is a reason and I can be just as dedicated as all the Suzy Homemakers … [Read more...]
