The Vintage Market is over. So many people came out I am very thankful. I shared a few photos on instagram. Many vendors had to deal with flooded basements and roads. Our area was hit hard. As was other fellow bloggers including Jennifer Rizzo that had a flooded basement. And Mark from room 363. In her Jennifer's town and many others people are without so much right now. And in my area too. The water amounts are unimaginable. Please keep them all in your thoughts and prayers. I have to be honest it was not easy doing the show. Knowing what had happened around me. But I was committed and did not want to back out. And I am glad I didn't. I met some wonderful fellow bloggers and shoppers too! People that follow my little ... View Post

A Little Mishap And A Blogger Thank you!
I recently made some changes to my wordpress site. When doing so it also changed the way you can view it. I was told that my posts no longer show up on blogger blog roll. I put the word out to two of my blogging buddies. And they were kind enough to give a shout out and let others know they can still follow me through facebook. I share my blog posts there and also through bloglovin. A HUGE thank you to Rosemary of Villabarnes and Anita of Cedar Hill Ranch. One thing I have learned about being in a blogging community is that we all stick together. If you need help or a prayer they are with you all the way! Thank you so much ladies for helping this girl out. It really means allot to me. If anyone else wants to spread the word I would really appreciate ... View Post
How To Distress Using Paint
I would like to show you a easy way to distress using paint. This is not your typical way of distressing either. Let's just say this is cheating a little ;-) Originally I was going to paint this coco but then decided on Annie Sloan Duck egg blue. Don't worry I did not part with my farm table. But I wanted to take a nice photo of it before it is off to the market finding a new home. I am so happy I decided to paint this duck egg blue. And why did I decide to paint it duck egg blue? Well because I did not have enough coco or any other color and so I grabbed this can of duck egg blue. And I am happy that I did. See that bit of white? That's old white.I just added a bit to highlight it. Want to know a secret? I love the look of a painted piece with just a bit of ... View Post
Question about comments
I have been replying back on posts through my email. But for some reason many are coming back undelivered. I wanted to reply through my email because I thought it would be better than to have the comments area clogged up with my reply's making it more difficult for you to scroll down and leave a comment. But since my emails are not going through it may be the only way to respond. I LOVE reading each and everyone of your comments. But I am wondering if I should only reply back to those who are asking a specific question. What do you think? How do you feel if I do not reply to your comments? I am torn at what do to. Would you prefer I reply on the posts? Or just reply on the questions? Your thoughts please :-) ... View Post
A French Gilded Trunk
Guess what the new hot color is? Pink! I am very fond of this color. But I only add it as accents in my home. As I was painting things and getting ready for the Vintage Market I came across a trunk I had. It was....okay but needed to be freshened up. I have been wanting to try Annie Sloan Antoinette with a splash of gold as an accent for sometime now. And when I saw this piece I knew it would be the perfect candidate! This trunk was painted all over with Annie Sloan Antoinette and Old white. I mixed the two colors until it was the pink I wanted. I then painted the framed area old white and highlighted those appliques with gold wax. Isn't it pretty! The top of this trunk is fabric and I painted that too. Sealed it all up with ... View Post
