A few more things…
So, are you sick of seeing all of the things I’ve been working on to take to the Lucketts Fair? If so, you may want to stop reading my blog for a couple of weeks, because that’s all that’s happening around here, lately. Anyway, I found this…trophy? Urn? Thingy with a bird on top? …at […]
Boucherie Sign & Some Glam
I finished several more signs yesterday and I am really excited about the way this one turned out. This sign was hand painted on a door that was cut in half. The wonderfully crackled paint was already on the door. I simply sanded it, scrubbed it, and then sealed with a polycrylic to prevent it from chipping further. […]
A Lamp & a Livery Sign
I am truly on a creative high at the moment. I am suddenly bombarded with inspiration for things that have been sitting around, neglected in my basement or office for months. Today, I paired a yard sale feed sack with a thrift store lamp, paint, a “scratch-and-dent” shade from Target, and a scrap from a […]
A Big Day
Today is a big day for me and my blog, but before I tell you why, I want to share what some of my blog friends are up to and how you can get involved in the fun. There is an upcoming party event that will be taking place next month. It is a Gorilla […]

What do you do with a dresser that has drawers beyond repair? You take them out and replace them with a couple of shelves, of course…or at least you have your husband do that and then you paint it. The construction of these drawers were ok, but the veneer was in terrible condition. It was […]
Busy, Busy Girl
I just primed five pieces of furniture, sanded three doors, installed some hardware, glazed a chair…and the list goes on and on. It’s nuts, my finger nails look dirty 24/7, and I’m tired. Here are some of the things I’ve completed over the past week. I bought this dresser almost a year ago at Goodwill and it’s […]
An Oar and Another Sign
I’m still cranking things out for Lucketts over here. I just got my new tags made to start pricing everything (yay!) and I shopped today for some “fillers” (greenery, eggs, fruit, etc) to make my stuff look even prettier. I’m seriously getting giddy at how everything is coming together in my head. Man, I haven’t […]
I don’t know if I can…
…let this one go. I’ve been working almost non-stop to get ready for the Lucketts Fair and today I had a rare thing…hours during the day to get uninterrupted work done. My mom offered to pay for me to hire a babysitter, so I could get work done. Thank the Lord for mothers, more specifically, […]
