Remember this...

 Vintage rattan hall tree that I had planned to do a little makeover on here?

Well...


Mission Accomplished!


I finally found the right ship painting and it's gone from this


to this!







I just love how it turned out.


Thank you all for the positive comments on my Prop Shop!  I am furiously working on getting everything priced right now.  I'm thinking of having my first sale over the 4th of July weekend.


What do you think?


New treasure just listed at
IL TUO TESORO.

It looks really nice Terri. What a difference painted that nice oatmeal. The pic in it is perfect and I like the seashell sculpture on it best.
I won't be able to make your 4th of July sale cuz I will be in Oregon with family, but please save something for me! I bet it will be successful.

EUREKA!!

I found my bicycle! (my new old bicycle) The funny part is where I found it. Yesterday after finishing my post, " I'm longing for a new bicycle ," I was lamenting to my husband about how badly I wanted a bicycle of my own.  He looked at me and said, " but you have a bicycle."  (our vintage Colombia tandem beach cruiser) I said, "I know, I love the tandem but I would like my own bicycle."  He said, "You do have your own bicycle... remember you bought one at a garage sale late last summer?"

There is something about single beds... (Image via domino) I would love to sleep in a bunk bed again... if just for one night.

Celebrating 28 years

28 years ago today I found my greatest treasure. Legends say that hummingbirds float free of time, carrying our hopes for love,  joy and celebration.  Like a hummingbird, we aspire to hover and savor each moment as it passes, embrace all that life has to offer and to celebrate the joy of everyday.  The hummingbird's delicate grace reminds us that life is rich, beauty is everywhere, every personal connection has meaning and that laughter is life's sweetest creation. Happy Anniversary Chris I love you madly!
