I have been SO out of it since this market last Friday! Sorry it took awhile to post some pretty pictures for you to see. I was working like crazy to get ready…cleared out the mess for Thanksgiving dinner and then dragged a bunch of stuff out to finish up on Thanksgiving night. Thank goodness we could set up on Wed or it would have about killed … [Read more...]

Replacing Porch Railings
November 15, 2013 By 11 Comments
I don't think I've mentioned that my husband is in the middle of a huge job on the front porch. We built in 2001 and were on a budget. Faux railings were around but too pricey for us at the time. So, my husband turned all the spindles for the railing….really…every one on the lathe. It was a lot of work but saved a lot of money.And it was … [Read more...]
Shabby Milk Paint School Chair
November 11, 2013 By 12 Comments
Working on some more small things around here….. I had some MMS Milk Paint already mixed up for a little drop leaf table I am doing so in between coats of that I spied a little wood school chair in the pile of junk. Why waste time on BIG things which would actually make a difference? Not me, I just grab the little things because they're … [Read more...]

My booth has been so full with the large pieces I finished for the Vintage Frame Of Mind show in September that I have not done much painting lately!

Old-Fashioned Majolica (sort of)
October 30, 2013 By 11 Comments
I have some majolica. It's not old majolica which I think costs a billion dollars or so. Mine came from TJMaxx about 10 years ago. All within a couple weeks. You know how it is at TJMaxx. They'll have a run of something and if you want some, you'd better get it right then. I bought most of these pieces then and I haven't seen it … [Read more...]
