a bunch of stuff

I’ve been sort of all over the place the last few days. I’ve been working on milk paint stuff and book stuff and branding stuff and cleaning and youth group and sleeping in this morning…  Just a lot, so I’m feeling a little scattered as I write this post tonight.

In addition to the hardware store counter and oak cabinet I bought on Thursday, I also bought this very cool easel.  I thought it would be a great place to display things about my paint line in my space at Lucketts.  I’m so excited to get my space all set up for the launch.

I received some awesome mail over the past few weeks including several rolls of this gorgeous paper from French Charmed

 

…a huge roll of upholstery webbing and burlap ribbon from burlapfabric.com

 

 

…and a beautiful pillow from Oliviera Textiles.

 

 

I’m excited about all of these products, but oh, this pillow…the fabric…the color…yeah.  It’s really special and it’s made from all-natural hemp with a feather-filled insert.  I’m really excited about working with these talented ladies.

 

So, this week I need to buckle down and get myself focused.  I have to get the labels for the milk paint line finished and find some pieces to paint, so I can introduce my other colors.  I also have a few key pieces I still need to find to be fixtures in my space at Lucketts.  Wow…and not to mention Haven is just around the corner!!  It’s an exciting time…

 

For the first time in a while, I’m going to announce the winner of a giveaway when I said I would.  Woohoo!!   The winners of the Decor Steals MMS pick-of-the-month giveaway are…

KathyB (kmaggierose) is the winner of the technician’s stool

the notesbooks on my desk

I take a hybrid approach when it comes to running my life and organizing my thoughts.  I like paper, pencils, and pens for writing down ideas, planning, and managing my day.  While old-fashioned notebooks are my preference for most things, I rely heavily on a digital calendar and reminder alarms
