Shabby to Chic

This turned out Great!

Love It! 

Trashy to Classy

 This was a 2 dollar auction find

Bought it from a guy who got it with other stuff

Asked if he wanted it

He said “NO”

Offered 2 Bucks

Got it!

Always ask if you want something if you think they don’t want it!

Part of the game

He made money and I got a deal

Lesson:  IT NEVER HURTS TO ASK!!!!

Willow's Grace

Mud Boots and All….

  ……. 

Ok… It is around 90 degrees outside with no chance of wind  or rain and my fashion forward three year old decides she is going to wear her mud boots to go with me to the shop.  This is the second time during near heat stroke weather that she has decided to wear these.  Neither of these two occasions happened to have any rain in the forecast even.

Just Odds and Ends

 

Here is some stuff I have found or bought dirt cheap to redo or sell.  Haven’t done much the last couple weeks.  Did get mirror painted and more stuff to flea market.  I got the best primitive table and old door about three weeks ago for less than 6 bucks altogether.  Got them in booth before I took pictures.  Have got to start taking pics again.  I get some really cool stuff sometimes too.

I am back and am ready to face the world again.  Divorce reared its ugly head and sent my life into a tail spin.  Willow and I are in a new house that is starting to feel like home and life is looking brighter everyday.  We are truly blessed and are finding little miracles in ordinary moments. 
I am ready to get to work again on turning trash into treasure and finding the beautiful underneath the layers of dirt and grime.  I so.... want to do this for a living someday.  I feel that it is my passion and am ready to share all of my finds and ideas with all of you. 
Have a beautiful day!

Auction Finds

Here are some of my auction finds for the last couple of weeks.

   

This is just the big stuff!  I have more in boxes!  Gotta go through all that sometime and get it ready to sell!  Yikes!  Never enough time!

Here are some booth pics too.  Running out of room.  I need to sell more stuff or get a bigger booth.

Sitting Pretty!

 

My five dollar ugly duckling has turned

into a swan!  I just love how this turned

out.  The colors really pop!

This was my first so called upholstery

job.  I used the staple gun and it was

so easy.  Hope you guys like the

transformation!

I actually won something!

I am so excited to say that I won the giveaway over at Red Door Home. 

The Hip Hostess sponsored this give-away and I won a cool new apron!  Their aprons are tres chic.  Love all of their designs.  I picked the wild melon splash.  Love the colors and the paisleys.  It is too cool.  I never win anything so I am very surprised.  I think I am going to get a few of these for Christmas gifts.  Too cute!  

Stop by and check out Red Door Home.  It is a great blog with lots of great ideas.  Thanks Stacey for the opportunity to win this cool apron!

 

My cute little ladder sold and cool crate shelves are gone.

I already miss my sweet little ladder.  Now I have to find a new one.  The other one I got was swiped by my husband.  My old crate shelves are going to need to be replaced now too.  Have to get some more character going in the booth.  I think I will just take my primitive chair I was going to redo and sit her up there for a little shelf for my basket of flowers and to hang baskets off of.  Was going to use her on the patio. 

Not much is going on here.  My babysitter is gone to Florida til Sunday and I sure miss having one of the girls watch Willow while I need an hour or two to get some stuff done.  There is a BIG auction next Saturday that one of them is going to get hired for.  ha ha Too hot to drag a 2 year old out in 100 degree heat for a blasted auction.

It’s never too hot to drag me out.  That’s when all the prices go down. 

Ya gotta be able to take the heat or you will miss an awesome deal.  Not me!  Bring on the sun!

White Wednesday

This was the ugliest chandelier when I got it.  A coating of shiny white paint and this ugly duckling turned into a swan.   Amazing makeover I think!
