Lovely

"Loveliest of lovely things are they
On earth that soonest pass away.
The rose that lives its little hour
Is prized beyond the sculptured flower."
--William Cullen Bryant

I thought this little poem was beautiful... this is a gardenia and a little rose from my front  flower bed.

Recent Treasures

I haven't been doing a ton of treasure hunting lately.... The things in my booth have been selling quickly and I need to restock. I actually found these treasures several weeks ago.  I painted this white and put it in my booth.

I painted both of the trays and the scoop. They turned out very pretty. I filled the scoop with shells.

I found  a huge amount of beautiful shells at goodwill. I only bought half of them and I am sorry about that.

I love this magazine rack.... I painted it white and it is destined for Chantilly.

These Ice skates were at Good will and I think they will look good painted and maybe add a water slide decal....at Christmas time.

This is a keeper. I don't know where it is going but I love it!

This is already hanging at my parents cottage.... some finds you have to share with family :)

I found an ugly sign at goodwill and I painted over it and stenciled it. It is now in my booth. I have a lot more to show you all.
 I am in the middle of a very busy time in my family. My favorite Uncle is in ICU in a very bad condition. He is only 53 but he may not make it.... I would covet your prayers for him.... and the family.

A Day of Beauty

Over the weekend my husband and I went away BY OURSELVES!  We did a lot of driving in North Florida and acted like we were retired LOL. Along the way there was tons of wildflowers. I decided to stop and take some photos.

When I got out of the car along came a whole pack of mules running to me. They were so cute. I wish I had an apple or two...but I had nothing.


The wildflowers were stunning. These pics do not show all of the beautiful colors we saw.

As we left I felt bad. I think they were disappointed..... I know I have been MIA lately. We have been soooo busy. I am now working on some things for my booth. They called and said all of your stuff sold out again this week. It is a good problem to have. I am just overwhelmed with things to do at this time....so it has become a juggling act. I will show some of my finds tomorrow. I hope you are all well.  I have missed visiting you all.

Life's A Beach


Today we decided to go to the beach. My sister and her family met us there. It was absolutely beautiful.
My husband and son.
Me and Levi.
My niece Sophia Rose.
The boys threw the football...
And had relaxation time....
Time swimming and boogie boarding.
My sister and I took a long walk down the beach.... Isn't this jelly fish beautiful? The blue color was so unusual.
This little guy posed for a picture.... he started to walk away and then turned around and stood still while I took his photo... It was like he knew he was good looking and should be a little star. LOL. I am so happy summer is here. (at least here in Florida) It always starts in April. I told my husband I am so happy I was born a Florida girl. I can't imagine life any where else....

Mr. Bubble Bath


Since having my new tub I have tried several bubble bath products. But I don't like any of them as much as Mr. Bubble! I love Mr. Bubble. I thought y'all might enjoy this vintage commercial.

Handmade Tags for Chantilly

Hello girls, I hope everyone is well....we have been hit with one illness or another lately. I am now battling a cold/ sinus problem. I can't wait to be well again! Even so I am still up and going. When we went to the Fancy Flea I noticed everyone had cute  tags on their merchandise. So it gave me a little inspiration....



This is the tag off of the pillow I bought. I know some people make them using the computer but I am not that savvy. So I did very simple hand stamped tags.



I went to Joanne's and bought some stamps for 50% off. (This week)  

 
I love how they turned out.

 
They look darling on the products.

And they were super simple to make.

 

 
And a lot of fun.... I just thought I would share the idea....
