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!

I just recently found your blog and I am LOVING it ALL!! Congrats on your HGTV spot, very exciting. I'm excited to hear you are going to do a video on the German Glass Glittered letter. YEAHH!!
Woohoo!!!! I'm so excited I'll get to rub shoulders with a famous HGTV girl at Wild Rose and Chartreuse!
Great news! I can't wait to visit you at both of your new locations!

Congratulations!!!
I'm so excited for you, and it's well deserved.
I'm just sad that you live so far away so that I can't shop at these wonderful places 😀
Any chance you'd take your show on the road??? Can you see it now? A travelling trash to treasure show starring Miss Mustard Seed!!! hee hee…
a girl can dream…
Congratulations on HGTV! What an opportunity! I popped on over- such great ideas! Looking forward to all the good things to come!
Can't wait to put our space together at Chartreuse….we'll be busy, busy, but it's all good!
Congratulations on the HGTV opportunity. They're going to love you!
If you were in driving distance I'd be shopping your space – what wonderful things you show us with each post.

I rarely miss a sale at Chartreuse & Co., and I have never left there empty handed. Congrats on the HGTV gig!
Congratulations on your continuing success! Looking forward to those video tutorials. Thanks for all you do.
Great news Marian! Glad to hear it:)
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!
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!
I wish I live a little bit near, but anyway I hope you have a great sale, i`ll be waiting for the tutorial.
Yay! Congrats for the HGTV gig! I need to head over and check it out!
Congratulations all the way around! You are really making a wonderful name for yourself!! I so wish I lived near you! I do have a cousin that lives there, might have to take a little vacation! 😉
How cute is that gumball machine with the ceramic balls!!
Congratulations! I am so happy that things are going so well for you!
Your things are so much better than the others on the website. Congratulations. Ann
I am rejoicing with you! You are such an inspiration!
Congratulations, Marian, what exciting news! Just last week, Lisa, from Uncovered Ruby and I were talking about how fabulous you are and we were wondering how much you sleep! I'm looking forward to seeing your projects. That barn sale looks like loads of fun!
Happy October!

Wow, that's exciting! I love the webbing garland and the burlap stockings.
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!
Hello Marian,
I just found your blog and I'm loving it. I live near Frederick and I look forward to chartreuse every month! Congrats on your new ventures.
