Before

Here are some before pictures of my sons room I am working on! White walls! Anyone who knows me, knows I love white, but I think I am getting bored with it. So my daughter and I picked out some paint using fabric as inspiration that I bought from Theresa Cano in Texas. The whole time I am painting, I am saying to myself, I just don't know if I like this color or not! And wouldn't you know it, I have to put on two coats. Never understood how those designers on HGTV never have to use two coats? So I am sitting here waiting for the first coat to dry, so I can finish that room tonight!

I have to work at the Antique Mall all day tomorrow, so no getting anything done that I want to do. Hopefully Sunday I can start putting furniture in the room. (But they are calling for snow here!!@#^&?) And in order to put things in the room, we have to unload the box truck.

Not long now! It won't look like this any more!

About Buttons

What is is about buttons that is so mesmerizing you will set for hours sorting through them. I like to separate the plastic button's from the mother of pearl buttons. All the while every time I touch one I can only imagine what kind of garment these came off of. The really teeny tiny ones make me think of very delicate children's clothes. The ornate ones make me think of some kind of glamours ball gown. I know pretty crazy! I love buttons! Sometimes I replace new buttons on a garment with old ones.

The sorting is all part of the BIG MOVE! It's coming along pretty good. I think I will paint today.

All sorted and ready for some kind of use?

I gotta package!

I gotta a package in the mail Saturday from sweet Laurie of 2chippys. She and I had gone to Hobby Lobby when we were in Atlanta last month and I seen this stamp of a bird nest and eggs. Laurie said don't buy that it will be on sale soon! I had already forgot about the stamp, but she didn't! Thanks for remembering me Laurie!! For those who don't know she is the Queen of finding stuff on SALE!

We don't even have a Hobby Lobby, imagine that! PoDunk USA!

I'm sure Laurie will be receiving a package from me real soon!!

Sunday Stash!

Craig and I decided to take the day off and go shopping! We only went to one store, but I hit the jackpot! One problem with the things I bought, I LOVE IT ALL! As time goes by it seems to get harder and harder for me to sell things. But my house is full and I have a rule if I bring something in something has to go out! That works MOST of the time! The paper dress form I bought a couple of days ago, but I needed a back drop.

The white hat is so delicate.

Oooo, ironstone!

Love this dog with child!

Might have to stay at my house!

Not one but two tape tins!

Got three sets of flash cards.

I know for sure I am keeping these silver forks and knives,

they have USN stamped on the back of each piece.

And I think this 2 board top table looks great in my studio!

What do you think?

I told you! I need to buy stuff to sell not to keep!

Move Delayed

My mom decided she wanted to have a yard sale this weekend, so my movin plans were changed! But I will be working on my rooms this week. We did get the computer moved yesterday to its new home in the utility room. And I did get holes in the walls filled, now onto sanding. The prep work really slows you down when painting a room. Hang in there pictures will be coming.

On the move!

Boy are we shaken things up around here! I decided to move my studio into the sun room, turn the studio and my sons room into a small shop! This is no easy task! First of all I have a bizillion things in the studio, (almost have all that moved). Next, my sons room has to been painted, and I have had a hard time deciding what color I am going to paint it! (You'll be surprised!) Hopefully I can get all these jobs done this week and we can unload the truck this weekend! Stay tuned cause I will have before and after pictures coming real soon! I'm so excited! I need a decorating job right about now!

Ice Carving

No wander Sarah is good at carving pumpkins! Look what she can do with a chain saw and a block of Ice! I can only imagine what my sculpture would end up looking like! I'd probably be so slow it would be puddle of water before I could get done! I am so proud of her!

Nightfall

Wanted to share the beautiful night sky with you guys!

Pumpkin Time

This is Sarah my youngest daughter and her son Willie, my grandson. She makes sure every holiday is special for him, she's such a good mother. Like all other young children he loves Halloween.

Sarah is only one semester away from being a CHEF!

And boy can she cook!

Willie is trying to decide if he wants to put his hand in the pumpkin!

Here goes!

GROSS!!!


At last the pumpkin has a face!



This is Sarah's boyfriend Jeff.



Happy Halloween!!

The Home of LuLu Redstar

While we were in Atlanta we had the honor of having dinner with LuLu Redstar and Phil, her sweet husband. I also had the honor of taking pictures of her home! Thank you LuLu!

Anyone who knows LuLu, knows she's a wild and crazy kinda gal! She's a hoot! Her home reflects her personality to a Tee! It's sorta oriental, country, frenchie, bohemian with tons of cool art! Not sure of any one word that would describe her style.

I really enjoyed the tour of her home, and the wonderful dinner she and Phil prepared for us to share. These are only a few of the pictures I took, I will post more next time.

Her home sits on top of a hill.

It was almost to dark to take pictures of the garden.

This is in the kitchen.

This is the family room.

Living room.

Foyer, most of the cool things in her home have a story to tell,

LuLu has traveled to many different countries.

Dinning room.

Bedroom.

I love this dressing table.

And this is the Leopard Lounge, she even has a disco ball!

Imagine that!

And these are the

Leopard Lounge Lizards!!!

Lauri and LuLu



Thanks again LuLu, fun was had by all.

Clown Wig Pics

This is LuLu Redstar one of the 2Chippys trying on the fabulous clown wig! Looks real good on her, sorta natural! Yes?

And poor Lauri the (other2chippy) by the time she got to try on the wig she had one to many! Yes?

And this is a friend of Lauri and LuLu's, he was having way to much fun with the clown horn and the ball fringe around his neck! Needless to say we were all having so much fun everyone thought we were a little tipsy!

Are we still moving?

When we got home Monday night and I laid down in the bed, I felt like I was still moving! We have traveled so much in the last 5 weeks, I'm ready to stay home for a while.

The Lakewood show was a little soft this time, I think people are still trying to get over the fact they didn't have any gas for about a month, and they are afraid to spend any money. But we had a great time with all our friends.

These first few pictures are of the 2Chippys booth! Of course they had a theme! (She Dreams of The Circus) Their booth was so creative, enjoy the pictures.

This little blue Cottage table had 6 chairs with it! Can you believe 6 chairs that matched? I think LuLu still has it if you are interested just let her know! 2Chippys

All the circus stuff just makes you smile!

Clown wig pictures are for another post!

Lauri had a Frenchie masculine twist on her side.

I loved this Texas fire insurance policy from 1929.

And this desk and chair, Oh La La!

Here are few shoots of my booth. My camera did something strange this time, it only took half of a picture. Not sure whats up with that, I will have to read up on what I did wrong!

We had some great small cupboards and a couple of cool benches.

This arch top door went to a happy customer.

Next post I will be featuring Ms. LuLu Redstars home, you don't want to miss it!

Lakewood 400

Don't forget to come out and see us at the Lakewood 400 this weekend. I'll be in the same booth that I was in at the Sept. show (but I can't remember the number). If you can't find us just ask at the office. The 2chippys will be set up a couple of booths down from us. I will be taking pictures of LuLu's house on this trip, I can't wait!

We will be leaving Wed. for the show, so I will be MIA for about a week.
