happenings...

Things have been busy around here....
tons of new projects are in the works at home and also for Worthy Goods.  

One night I decided to "shop my house" and ended up switching a few pieces around.  I took a cabinet from the living room and switched it out with a wine bar in the dining room.  Love the results for the living room but I'm still working on the dining room...

This is my first attempt at decorating the wine bar...

 This is my second...  Any thoughts, tips, suggestions?

My nieces and nephew stayed over for a few days so we made really cool reversible  aprons...

 played four million games of life...

 the three most annoying words strung together in one sentence are...

you owe me

Helped my son make a cover for his senior project binder.  These were his three final choices...  Any votes?

I bought these prints at Ikea and hung them above our bed...
Love them!

Spent some time in the studio sewing up a storm...
These will be in our Worthy Goods space at Monticello next week.
The other projects are
top secret
until the Monticello Spring Show starting April 8th!

Went to lunch with a friend...

We discovered this great little restaurant. 

Best burger I've ever had.

 

dreamed of a fireplace makeover just like this...

That's what's happening at my place.  Hope things are going well at yours!

Fate or Chance?

Linda and Dixie of Funky Junk Sisters put on a great show in Hillsboro, Oregon a few weeks ago.  Click on the picture below to read more...

 

While shopping at the show Debbie and I met a fabulous group of ladies from Texas.  We talked, laughed and shared stories. We couldn't help but fall in love with these warm hearted Texans! 

A few days later while shopping at one of my favorite haunts I saw this lady and she looked so familiar...  I overheard her saying she was from Texas and realized that it was Leanne (pictured center) one of the warm hearted Texans from the Junk Salvation show!

After a great conversation with Leanne and her son we discovered that Leanne's daughter-in-law teaches at the charter school across the road from my house which is out in the country and basically in the middle of nowhere!  

What are the chances?  Yes.  This fantastic, crazy, junking world is very small indeed...

These lovely Texan's call themselves the Rodeo Queens and host an event called Petticoats on the Prairie in Ira, Texas. 

What a fun coincidence!

Thanks to my sweet friend and photographer Lara Blair for the use of her photos...

February is the month of LOVE...

To celebrate I created this sweet little pillow.

For the letters I used a vintage stencil and really like the way it turned out.

Simple and Sweet

Enjoy the day,
