A Tired Chair gets a Lift

Bought this chair @ an auction on the mountain. 
Washed it with the paint left over from the front door.
It is my Princess chair.

A Worn out Mirror

Lovely old mirrors, all tattered and worn
Will my walls, forever adorn.

Book Bench

This old doll bench was a thrifty find at a local flea market about six months ago. It was a bit crooked and strange, but I fell in love. My gardening books fit perfect.

Pearl the Owl ®

This is Pearl. There will be a story added to her later. She is my new friend. Perhaps she will show up in my Etsy shop after the Labor Day Flea Market in Hillsville, VA where she and a "flock" of her friends will be making their debut. All my birds will be a gentle reminder of godly principles. Pearl, is a bird of wisdom. Hence the name.

She is fashioned of left over fabric from my home made kitchen curtains and an old pair of my middle daughter Abbey's  outgrown Union Bay corduroys. Vintage buttons are her eyes, and eventually she will don a simple set of pearls.  



Fickle Me

As I was scrolling through my recent entries I realized how absolutely bored I was with the green china cupboard. So I moved it into the kitchen after adding a yellow ochre stain and decided to give my tired old china to Mom, replacing it with a few simple pieces instead.
