HGTV.com & Chartreuse

Doesn’t it seem like I’m announcing exciting things every day?  Well, that’s because exciting things keep happening in my little business.  It is truly living up to its name.  A tiny little mustard seed is growing into something huge!  Here are the latest…

I am so thrilled to announce that my very first HGTV.com project is posted!  We’ll, it’s not a full-blown tutorial, but my tips are a part of an article showing 20 handmade holiday ideas.  Click here to check out my ideas (and some other great ones from Holly Mathis, Melissa Michaels, and Janell Beals.  Wow, I’m in good company!)  If you’d like step-by-step instructions on making “grain sack” bar stool cushions, a hand painted grocery sign, no-sew roman shades and a sink skirt…just wait.  They’re in the works!

The second thing I want to share is about my newest retail space.  Lynette, the proprietress of Wild Rose and Co. Marketplace, also has a space at Chartreuse and Co.  I’ve wanted a space in there for a few months and have been waiting for something to open and the phone to ring.  Lynette called the other day and asked if I would like to join her and Christine in a space.  It’s perfect!  Both of these ladies are so fun (and easy) to work with and they have flawless taste.  I couldn’t ask for a better scenario!  So, if you’re in the mid-Atlantic area and you’ve never been to a barn sale at Chartreuse and Co., you must set a date to come! The next sale is October 15-17 and it’s located near Frederick, MD.  Click on their name for hours, directions and the dates of future sales.  Here are some pictures of the last sale to tempt you…

I so thrilled to be a part of this!  Lots of you have asked when I sleep and I assure you, I do, but I am getting busier and busier! 
Thanks to all of those who offered sheet music to me.  The next few weeks will be like Christmas with all of the packages I’ll be getting.  You are a generous bunch of ladies. 
Don’t forget to send me an e-mail if you’re interested in attending our German Glass Glittered Letter workshop on October 23.  For those of you who live too far away to make it, I will be posting a video tutorial soon!

      Great news Marian! Glad to hear it:)

    17. Morgane @ Bear,Dolly and Moi

      I checked out your work at HGTV and I love the Joy banner, it is such a nice idea, it would add a great touch to a classy holiday decoration. I hope you will also feature it on your blog, which is more fun to read than HGTV…
      Congratulations!

    18. Holly @ Roller Coaster Life

      Wow look at you taking over the world!! Your stuff on hgtv looks awesome! I will be at that barn sale! We bought a van so I am good to go with spending again! And well even if we didn't anything with BARN in the name and I get to shop!

      I am in the process (more in my mind right now) thinking about opening a little shop! I have so many things and I have no room left in my garage! I was talking to hub about it and he said if that is what I want to do I should! It feels good knowing I have you just a quick e-mail away to ask questions too!

    19. fabulosa

      I wish I live a little bit near, but anyway I hope you have a great sale, i`ll be waiting for the tutorial.

    20. L.Duncan

      Yay! Congrats for the HGTV gig! I need to head over and check it out!

      Congratulations on both the HGTV.com project and the retail space! Wow, things are really moving for you. What a wonderful and exciting time. Wish I was closer to the sale or at least had a free weekend that weekend!
