Show and Tell Monday ... I stopped in at an antique center on Friday in the next town over that I haven't been in in quite a while. I really never take the time but at the last minute I decided to stop in. I had so much fun! I think I was there for well over an hour. I found some great new china pieces that I started listing on my site ...





We had a really nice sunny day here on Saturday. I hauled all of my furniture pieces I have collected over the past two weeks outside to sand and wash. I should have taken a photo. My husband says it looks like Sampson and Son when I'm working outside. Oh Well!!! It worked out great because it ended up raining all day Sunday. I like to work on kind of an assembly line ... sanding & washing a whole bunch of pieces, then priming them all, then painting. I think it makes me a little more productive. Off to run errands today. Thanks for visiting ...

I am so excited. I placed an order in Atlanta back in January with a lovely woman who ran her own business. She designs vintage inspired hankies that she has made in India. Well, the order arrived today. I posted all 16 new hankies on my site but thought I'd share a few here. I think they are so great for so many things in addition to their obvious use ... wrapping a small gift, putting on your dresser under a lamp, special bridesmaids gifts, filled with a bit of lavender and tied with a bow to sweeten your drawers ... There is even one that says Mother and one that says Grandmother.
Can you tell that I love them?

Show and Tell Monday ...
First I have to say WHERE IS SPRING???!!! Here in the Northeast it still feels very much like winter. On Friday, the first day of Spring, there were a some snowflakes flying around. Today we got up to 25 degrees and very cold wind. It's sunny, thankfully, but oh so cold.
I did get a few pieces done this week. I finished a special order for a client. This pretty secretary is for her daughters room to serve as a desk and storage. It is pure white with no distressing.

This piece was fun. I used to paint mostly children's furniture in a mix of colors and patterns. I did this cute little dresser in pink and white with pink knobs. I think it can be for a little girl or for a cottage bedroom.



I finished another white distressed dresser for a shop display but forgot to take a photo. Thanks for visiting ...
