<span style="font-size: large;">Everything in here has been either gifted, thrifted or repurposed and there's still alot we'd like like to do but here it is in all it's glory......and we think it's pretty fabulous...or as my friend Sarah says, it's JUNKTASTIC!!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"> Beautiful Virgin Mary watches over our little space from atop the "paper cabinet". She rests in a sweet vintage train case and is surrounded by an antique church lamp that belonged to my (jenny) grandmama, shed antlers and yellow roses.......we love roses!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">If you were to enter the studio through the sliding glass door in my kitchen, which is usually the way we enter, the first thing you will see is this little armoire and the elyptical.....not so attractive, i know, but essential. </span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The armoire was originally bought for my youngest son's bedroom when he was born as there was no closet in his room at the time. He of course outgrew it, and since then it's been used to hold a tv, stereo equipment, board games and now serves as our "anything paper" cabinet. The drawers mostly hold fabric scraps and lace.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Check out that chair though! My husband snagged it at a garage sale years ago. Great condition and super cute except for the filthy white seat. My mom recovered it for us in this funky zebra stripe and Lindsey repainted it a few days ago in one of our favorite shades......it's way more turquoise than it shows in the photo.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Now, as you turn into the room you almost hit your head on this stack of old frames that we've hung on the old lantern fixture....this sunroom was originally an open patio and this exterior light is a remnant from those days......when we find the perfect vintage sconce to replace it, it's coming down!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Just past the frames is our "shipping station / photo staging area". This antique sideboard houses all of our shipping and packaging supplies. When we need to take a few quick jewelry photos, eveything gets put away and we have a nice space for photographs. I bought this cabinet years ago as a store was going out of business. The owner told me it had once been used as a theater prop for a local college. It's beautiful but SO dark....I plan to remedy that with a fresh coat of paint ASAP!!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hanging above is my latest Fabulously Funky Find!! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Gaudy, vintage velvet peacocks......what more could a girl ask for??!! Although these beautiful birds are quite the trend at the moment, I've actually been obsessed with them since childhood. My grandparents raised them most of my life and we spent countless hours out in the yard calling, feeding and just watching these majestic creatures. Needless to say, they are very special to my family. I would have paid a pretty penny for this piece but when the dealer said "gimme $8 and take that gaudy thing" I jumped on it!! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">HUGE desk/work station!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> The photos do not show it's true size.......it is absolutely massive and was a freebie! It sat in an old house on the property where my mom and stepdad's business is located for atleast 20 years. Judging by the papers inside, it once belonged in a hotel in New Orleans.....how it ended up in East Texas though, I have no idea. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I'd love to paint it too but haven't yet decided on a color. Will probably keep the top original though because it's already a little rough and beat up and that suits me just fine.....jewelry and metal working tools can do a real number on a desk.</span></div>

It didn't fit our bed and of course my boys didn't want it but I just KNEW there was something I could do with it I couldn't pass it by. Well, one ugly extra loveseat, three white sheets, a bedskirt from GW and a load of throw pillows later, we have the cutest, most comfortable day bed around!!</span> </div>

When we get around to that, it will replace this folding table which we currently use. The orange velvet chair is from the 70s and is so stinkin' comfortable. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Good Morning friends</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Today I'm sharing a necklace that I designed for my dear friend and fellow <a href="http://www.gitcha-junk-on.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Girls Gone Junkin</a> buddy, Brenda. In the middle of a normal conversation at Canton last month she casually said "i have an old religious piece that I want you to look at. Maybe you can make a necklace out of it for me"......ok</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">So the next day she brings in this sweet little burlap bag and I'm expecting to find a small religious medal, maybe a cross.....no, what lay inside was this beautiful, delicate, hand embroidered antique masterpiece. It's a rather large piece with a felt backing and a ribbon loop to hang it. Brenda had already hand sewn the loop down to the backing to make a smaller loop and strung it on leather cording. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">She takes risks and wears what she likes, and doesn't worry what other people think. I SO admire that!!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Working on this piece also reminded me how much I enjoy wire wrapping, which I haven't done as much of lately, and natural semiprecious stones.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I've already designed and completed a few new pieces that also incorporate antique hardware and I can't wait to share them with yall!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Actually, LAST weekends fabulous finds....yea, it seems I'm always running a little behind lately...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Aaaaaanyway.......my BFF Liz and I spent last friday rummaging through other people's junk...a few garage sales, an estate sale, a couple of antique stores and several resale shops. And we had a BLAST!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This was my haul. And get this.....i spent less than $100 on all of it!! AND fit it all into my Camry, better know as Ruby :)</span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Some things I am keeping......others will be going to our booth in Canton next weekend. And a few I haven't quite decided yet.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Keeping for sure: white wire planter (this was actually my grandmothers and I picked it up at my mom's on the way home), bent willow piece inside planter, vintage bread box, wine barrel table (hubby removed the not so cute particle board table top and now it's perfect!), bolt of striped fabric and rusty old piece of fence.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Selling for sure: Sweetheart chair (oh how I adore this piece but I really don't have a place for it in my house and I do need to make some money this month! haha), white lamp shades (found two white lamps that fit them perfectly later in the week), brown ruffled lampshade and lamp (painted the old rusty brass in the same color as the trim detail on the shade and it is precious!) and two frames</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Undecided: tall gooooorgeous mirror and vintage canisters</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_25EfZs6akS7JqIqdvJwAlL890zDuRje9Qi8v715ElMHfFlzyBZ8LITAFsgH4xT-XyKz82gSG5E5cRsq1pDoWUNpdze6nD2ceRu0QFLjuT249hU5OeuznmB0BOGbZTb0LlP_Ak10J7XKL/s1600/weekend+finds2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_25EfZs6akS7JqIqdvJwAlL890zDuRje9Qi8v715ElMHfFlzyBZ8LITAFsgH4xT-XyKz82gSG5E5cRsq1pDoWUNpdze6nD2ceRu0QFLjuT249hU5OeuznmB0BOGbZTb0LlP_Ak10J7XKL/s640/weekend+finds2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">There's a funny story to go with the bread box. I have been wanting one for a while. Liz and a few of my other junkin buddies have even been looking for me. Well, we were in the cutest shabby chic style antique store and all of a sudden there it was......AND right next to it was a cool old wooden crate stamped "Liverpool" (now to understand this you must know that Liz has always loved all things British. Her and her husband are both huge fans of their soccer team. Plus, he proposed to her in Liverpool. So of course she went nuts over this little crate) Ok....now for the funny part....we both turned around and spied them at the exact same time and squeeled like schoolgirls. THEN we both noticed what the other one was squeeling about and started giggling and squeeling even more and almost jumping up and down. The shop owner came running out from the back because she thought something had happened or someone was hurt and there we were laughing and hugging. The look on her face was priceless!! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">He's the best helper in the world so we have been out in the orchard most afternoons picking sweet juicy plums....I should probably make jelly with them but they're just SO good on their own. What we don't eat, we give away to grandmas and our wonderful neighbor. The corn actually came from his field. He plants two HUGE gardens every year. Not because he loves fresh vegetables (doesn't eat them at all) but because he loves to drive a tractor and work the land. So he grows acres of sweet corn, peas, tomatos, watermelons, potatoes, peppers....you name it, he grows it......and he gives it away to eveybody on our little county road! Needless to say, Mr. Metcalf is an AWESOME neighbor!!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">One of my favorite plants in our yard is our Texas Lilac. While it's not a true Lilac, its flowers resemble one. And since lilacs don't stand up well to our Texas heat, this tougher, drought tolerant plant is our version. Bees and butterflies love it and to me, it's just so beautiful.</span> </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;"> It means more sleeping in, a week at the beach (aaaaahhhh.....yes!) , playing, hanging out at Mimi's pool, fishing, going to the lake with Nan and Pa, and just spending more family time together.</span> </span></div>

The 12 year old said "It was cool. I finally got to see my friends." The 16 year old said "was alright". So I asked him a few more questions, trying to have somewhat of a conversation, but all I got were a few grunts and "i dunno, i guess".......teenage boys.......gotta love em :)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">A few days ago I showed yall some pics of my garden shed at the new house. If you missed it, <a href="http://faithandpearl.blogspot.com/2011/08/featured-and-more-before-pics-of-new.html">HERE</a> it is.<br />
And since the only project I'm currently working on is packing up everything we own...... not a whole lot to blog about there.....And because I'm SOOOO excited about our new house, I've been sharing a few pics from my "Ideas" folder with yall.<br />
<br />
If you like kitchens or the color red, check <a href="http://faithandpearl.blogspot.com/2011/08/red-farmhouse-kitchen.html">THIS</a> one out!<br />
<br />
So, here's my question. What makes a garden shed a "shed"??<br />
The term is pretty vague and encompasses everything from a giant rubbermaid storage bin to an elaborately constructed victorian mini mansion. It seems that as long as it's located in the garden or backyard, it can be considered a "garden shed".<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6LdywY7L_REdsgfA7wouiXtObZT0aDia5abI6iWr21fiaNuY7WHMl6XLCaca4rNkzRNVUvCUkh-bJ0fVPMqIFWDLk-mVtTkjv5AUA7dsDofIIqbkonGEwY7mw0mz7E22z2N0MXB5sfIM8/s1600/gardenshed1.bmp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" qaa="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6LdywY7L_REdsgfA7wouiXtObZT0aDia5abI6iWr21fiaNuY7WHMl6XLCaca4rNkzRNVUvCUkh-bJ0fVPMqIFWDLk-mVtTkjv5AUA7dsDofIIqbkonGEwY7mw0mz7E22z2N0MXB5sfIM8/s640/gardenshed1.bmp" width="464" /></a></div><a href="http://www.hammertown.com/">source</a><br />
Loooooove......oh this sweet little shed just speaks my language so well. I've always had a thing for antique blue houses. The simple shape is very similar to mine and the finials on the roof are such a cute cute accent.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Maybe it's because in doing so I have uncovered so many little pieces left behind by my grandparents and the flood of memories and emotions tied to those treasures</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Whatever the reason, I have found myself deeply missing the two very special angels who were my grandmothers. They both passed away within the last year and although I know they are healthy, happy and reunited with Christ and so many loved ones that went on before them, the selfish little girl in me sometimes wants them back. I understand this is a normal emotion and it will pass and probably resurface again from time to time.....</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYAFD7S3K-iB2Ip1bKnkB5XkrFPskgJMdp1oKfuiJ7ZLyLgXDHrLZxt0YP2BNrxT2kKSGjz8jmw0PHpZc2xJrTBxuZReGRvImSRVHIm3OzDXl3mUDkJRjtEPpUXp51eyLXfyn18zmezo2-/s1600/Me+and+Grandmama+%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="296" naa="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYAFD7S3K-iB2Ip1bKnkB5XkrFPskgJMdp1oKfuiJ7ZLyLgXDHrLZxt0YP2BNrxT2kKSGjz8jmw0PHpZc2xJrTBxuZReGRvImSRVHIm3OzDXl3mUDkJRjtEPpUXp51eyLXfyn18zmezo2-/s400/Me+and+Grandmama+%2529.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">My grandmothers were Bobby Jean Tucker (Grandmama, in photo above) and Bobbie Lea Mackey (Mama Bobbie, pictured below with me and mom). My sister and I share their middle names. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZAyYYBidMNWjtIZBs8oLTnaW4aVAl2Ogx9B_Rifd2Q6IzCIuksyA2AJiVB-PMPUsviBNA1vX-nolErcazmoY77CGjKZAuazNbw90Bo3xUTIXynMvFFUitG-W8uISy2uJgG45Bytrtj2JV/s1600/mothersday2010.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="333" naa="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZAyYYBidMNWjtIZBs8oLTnaW4aVAl2Ogx9B_Rifd2Q6IzCIuksyA2AJiVB-PMPUsviBNA1vX-nolErcazmoY77CGjKZAuazNbw90Bo3xUTIXynMvFFUitG-W8uISy2uJgG45Bytrtj2JV/s400/mothersday2010.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">They were both incredibly strong women, enduring both physical and emotional pain with grace and courage. They shared a love of gardening which thankfully they passed down to their grandaughters as well :)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">One was an excellent southern cook. One preferred to throw a pizza in the oven and color or play dolls with us while it cooked. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">One was a skilled seamstress, quilter and crocheter. (is that a word?) One could paint anything, draw anything and play the piano by ear.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">One was blessed with a kind, loving husband of 45 years. One was not so fortunate. Her fiance was killed fighting in WWII. She married a few years later but was left behind to raise her children alone. Not by death this time though....by an abusive alcoholic that broke her heart and abandoned his family.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">One was strong and healthy well into her 80's. One was burdened with health problems for almost 20 years.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Both loved flea markets....one preferring to scour the "junk" and discover the story behind every piece she found....one preferring to find a new variety of plant or flower she hadn't seen and eat fried green tomatoes.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Both had beautiful handwriting. One wrote long letters to everybody she loved....oh how I cherish those sweet letters. One wrote out her favorite family recipes and slipped them in our Christmas and wedding presents.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I am so thankful to have been blessed with such amazing women in my life and to have inherited even an ounce of their wisdom, talents, passion and strength. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">It is for them that my little jewelry business is named. Not their actual names. One is a nickname given by an aunt. One is a name that is testament to a deep abiding love and faith. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">If you're still here after all this rambling, thanks for hanging in there with me. For listening to the memories of an emotional woman/child. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">blessings to you and your loved ones</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div align="center">Those of you who have followed my blog from the beginning probably know that we have been in the process of selling our home and finding a new one for the last few months.</div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><strong>Caution: Lots of rambling ahead.....</strong></div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"> Initially, we thought we had ours sold before we even put it on the market....but the buyer backed out. Ugh. </div><div align="center">Then the beautiful log home we fell in love with turned out to have some major structural issues that were just more than we wanted to take on. Ugh Ugh!</div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center">So, I quit blogging about the house all together until I had something solid to tell yall about!!</div><div align="center">Well, to make a long story short, we listed with a realtor and got a contract within a few weeks! Yaay! We were so thrilled about this but at the same time, we still had to decide on a house to buy. Well, we did!! And we close on both houses in a couple weeks :)</div><div align="center">More about that later.....</div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center">Ok, thanks for sticking with me this far, here come the pics</div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><strong>This was taken before the current owners began packing........this is not my decor :)</strong></div><div align="center"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">One side of the new kitchen.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I LOVE the red cabinets! The scalloped window and door trim is another vintage touch I adore.My dream kitchen would have distressed and antiqued white cabinets.....</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">...and these may get a makeover one day.....but for now, I really like the red.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">This was a bottle of peppermint swirled lotion and once she figured out what it was, she wasn't about to let it go! She and my friend Shelly, sitting next to her, swapped it back and forth all night (it was a white elephant style party) but in the end, it went home with MamaBobbie. She was fiesty!

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">She was also one of the best cooks and gardeners anywhere. Everybody in my family would fight over her fudge at Christmas.....

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">She raised the same Bearded Iris that my mom grows. Many of the ones pictured in my post from a few weeks ago were hers as well. Even at 83 years old, she tended her beautiful backyard gardens, dozens of potted plants and her roses and azaleas in the front yard. Only last year did she finally relinquish mowing duties to my stepdad. </span></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div align="center"><span style="font-size: large;">You see, Mama's garden is in the most unlikely place.....in a once-empty field next to their manufactured stone business.....right next to Interstate 20. </span><span style="font-size: large;">When my parents originally bought this property they planned to renovate the old house (which you will see in the background of some of the photos) and live there, next to the shop. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Well, that never happened and basically the house is a huge storage building but Mama had already started a garden here and figured since they spend so much time at work, this would be a great place to escape for lunch or a little quiet time, so it stayed.</span></div><div align="center"><br />

</div><div align="center"><span style="font-size: large;">Oh, I forgot to mention this. She said the only way I can post these pics is to explain that we have had two very dry years and that is why you will see some large empty patches such as the one above.

</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">I was a little late in getting pictures. They usually peak around Easter but I forgot Easter was a little later than usual this year. When the Iris are in full bloom it is absolutely breathtaking. You woudn't believe the customers and passersby that wander out there in amazement. It brings her such joy to share the garden with others. Most of them leave with a pot of plants for their own garden. You see, Iris must be divided every 3 years so in a garden this size, something has to be divided every year. The women in my family usually make a weekend of it. Everybody takes some home, gives them away to friends. Whatever is left, we plant in recycled nursery pots. These little guys eventually make their way to a new home throughout the year.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Yall may remember my awesone find from a couple weeks ago. I lucked upon five of these big gorgeous red floral pillows at a thrift store for $2 a piece! And even though we are getting ready to move, I promised a reveal so here it is...or half of it anyway. The other side of the room is a mix of boxes, and a wall still waiting to be painted :)</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">This is my favorite room in the house now. I drink my coffee in here every morning. It's also a great spot to read and visit with friends away from the tv. It's a very comfy, cozy room and I will miss it alot. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Hopefully our next house will have a space that I can use in much the same way!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">George and D love it as much as I do. D is usually the one camped out here lounging around in the sun but it's a quiet cloudy day so he's hibernating somewhere in the dark bedroom. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><strong><em>Don't judge my Barely Alive tulips! I haven't been back to the store to get more!! :)</em></strong></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">The wicker set was in my mother's sewing room when we were kids. She has since replaced it and this one was in storage so I brought it home. Started painting it black and ran out of paint on the 2nd chair. Didn't want to wait to get the room put together though so I just cleaned up the setee and brought it in as is...chippy paint and all.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">The setee's cushion was old and faded so I wrapped a vintage chenille bedspread around it and let the fringe hang off the front. I'm really liking this look rather than something new. Plus it was free!!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">These sweet little nesting tables were also a great find but the best part is that they look wonderful with the green and gold round table that we found the same day and a black and gold table I have had for years!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">The round one is doing duty as a coffee table in this room and the black and gold one is at the other end of the settee. Added a couple framed pics of the babies and a candle...just something simple since everything else is being haphazardly thrown in boxes!!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-size: small;">(not really...i'm packing everything very cafefully.)</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">This of course is the top of the armoire. Things I've picked up here and there....antique hat box, red basket with faux flowers (sounds so much better than FAKE), a cute tin rooster pic and the sweetest little crown bottle. Not sure what it's original purpose was and I think somebody painted the red on after the fact but I found it at the Salvation Army thrift store for 50 cents so it had to come home with me. The black candle holder came from Walmart I think. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">The armoire holds mostly crafting supplies and linens. It was given to me by a friend just before my youngest son was born. It's a cheapo piece from Kmart but I painted the beadboard inserts and put a little glaze and cute knobs on it and it looks much better. I need to change out the knobs though if it is to stay with this furniture....they don't really match in here now.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">This handpainted antique saw is one of my fav pieces in the room. My husband's grandmother painted the scene depicting what our hometown looked like when she was a child. It is absolutely gorgeous. She was a very talented lady and didn't even begin to paint until she was in her late 60's. We have several of her pieces and we just love them. So very special :)</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

It's just beautiful to me.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

The tray itself is an old Southern Living at Home piece. The little clock is from Germany and was found at the same time I got the little crown bottle above. Think it was $1. The books just came from my bookcase. The little nest with eggs is from a darling little store in Canton and the silver tea pot was also found at Canton. The lid is missing but I don't care. I only paid $2 for it and I knew it would be perfect for holding flowers. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">The paint is my favorite shade of green and was left over from my kitchen. In case you're wondering, the color is Paladin from True Value Hardware stores. It's a beautiful neutral soothing color. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">I believe the total spent on this side of the sunroom was under $100. And yes I realize everybody's mama doesn't have a complete wicker set hiding in storage but you can find them at garage sales all the time. I have seen TWO sets in the last week!! There are some crazy people out there throwing away their wicker....go get you some! hahaha</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Here's one last shot. Oh yea! I forgot to point out the pretty stained glass window that I picked up at a garage sale 15 years ago. It has been in every house I've lived in since I was 20. I just love that little window!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">And I did buy the leopard print rug at Hobby Lobby but it was half price so I only paid around $20. So I guess that makes my total redo $120. Still cheap!!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Well, I guess I'll drag a few boxes in here and start packing all this up now.

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Just wanted to share a little of what's been going on in the studio lately. Here's a few quick pics of my Upcycled, Repurposed, Junqued Up little lovelies.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

It found a new home at Downtown Market last friday. The longer necklace is one of my favorite natural stones, smooth Green Adventurine. I added a Vintage Filligree Brooch and Antique Locket.

Nothing creative on my part. Just super excited about a few good finds hubby and I came across today. You see, I leave for First Monday in Canton tomorrow and he goes back to work so we had to get in a good day of scavenging while we can.....although truth be told I will doing a little hunting on my own a little at Canton this weekend too! haha </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">So, we started the day at a storage building auction.....ever seen "Storage Wars" on tv?? Well that's basically what we went to and it was FUN!! We didn't end up buying anything there but we did hit a couple antique stores later and my favorite consignment shop. Where I found.......</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">THIS GORGEOUS SHABBY HAND PAINTED GREEN AND GOLD ITALIAN TABLE!!<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Beautiful old hand painted nesting tables.....they're not really as minty green as they appear in this pic....the patina is wonderful!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">I also found these great HUGE pillows for a steal! $2 each!! And there were five of them....that means I now have cushions for all of my wicker furniture in the sunroom for the teeny weeny price of $10!! Can I get a whoop whoop??!!!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">These pillows are huge and in excelllent condition. The ruffle goes all the way around. I just tucked it under on the sides and back so it would look right as a seat cusion. The covers have zippers so they can be removed and washed which is really important with kiddos and kitty. :)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I may end up recovering them in the future as hubby is not loving the large rose print...but maybe not! A few neutral throw pillows might tone it down just enough. But I have been dieing to try printing one of Graphics Fairy's gorgeous images onto fabric so I might do that and make a pillow .....we'll see. Right now I'm just loving the way my sunroom is finally coming together.....and at an awesome price!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

But she wanted a necklace so I set out to design something simple yet striking. The saphire blue in these pieces is just breath taking and I remembered a little bag of handcut antique aurora borealis beads that Hubby and I found in Seattle last year.....they were a perfect match! If you are familiar with aurora borealis beads then you know they are not just one solid color. They are dark or light or metallic depending on how the light hits them. They're gorgeous! I also added clear swavorski crystals and wrapped them all with sterling silver wire.</div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center">And this is how it turned out......She loved it and almost cried when I gave it to her :)</div><div align="center"><br />
