More Wreaths, I'm Afraid ....

Happy Saturday!

As I'm playing around with our sitting room and still putting off painting the master bath (lol), I thought I'd share a few of my crazy wreaths that people have been so kind to ask me to create for them!

I hope our sweet friends enjoyed showing their St. Patty's Day pride:

These *beeg* St. Patty's Day wreaths were requested by our awesome friends across the street:

This one is now hanging by the front office at my son's school:

An Easter wreath for a fabulous family who celebrates their "FAITH" every day:

I added a few faux flowers for a splash of Spring, too:

Fun friends wanted this one for their relative, who is a huge Carolina Hurricanes fan:

These were ordered by a sweet friend to celebrate both Easter and the recent birth of their second child, a beautiful baby girl!

I LOVE the vintage children's toile and coordinating smaller polka dot ribbon that I found:

This great family requested an Easter wreath filled with purple, white, turquoise and a splash of yellow ... hope they've been enjoying it:

This wreath is now having fun in its home with big ol' WVU fans:

My sweet Aunt ordered two of these, which were the first Easter wreaths I made, filled with eggs, raffia, whimsical ribbon and LOTS of mesh:

This is one of two identical wreaths made for a wonderful family who wanted a wreath filled with blues, creams and burlap.  Of course, I had to orbs, raffia and deco sticks for fun, too:

Annnnd, lastly, the Easter wreath I made for our front door:

I can't wait to get started on the patriotic wreath orders I've been receiving!

HAPPY EASTER, sweet friends !!

My NEW Old Bridge Arm Lamp!

Before
Last fall Hubby and I went to a Fabulous Flea Market in Bloomington, IL, and I picked up an old bridge arm lamp that I fell in love with. I did a post on this trip HERE, however this is the lamp in the shape that I purchased it.

I cleaned it up, saw some rust on the straight  part of the pipe, so I only painted those two areas brown. I loved the patina on the rest of the lamp, so I left

Header Love AND New Look for My Blog!

I found another old header that was completely intact!



And I fell in love.






Here it is after I had my young and cute, handy dandy handyman put trim on the bottom and sides to hide the construction. A lot of people would have left it as is, but I wanted to refine it a bit.
A bit of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint, and both her dark and clear waxes later...

Next, I added a saying that truly is

Framed Rose Print Serendipity!

To me, it is serendipity when things just fall into place or when I am at the right place, at the right time.

This is the case with my framed rose print.

I came across a beautiful old rose print that had damaged edges and the previous owner folded the sides to make it fit another frame. I have a thing for roses, especially vintage.



I knew that I would need to sacrifice some of the print if I

Blooms Here And There

Summers are officially here in my part of the world. My garden is doing really well even in this scorching hot weather and I simply can't resist bringing those blooming beauties indoors. Here's how flowers have the power to enhance the beauty of any space.
