| I found this little chair at good will yesterday. I really liked it and it was only 12.99. It was a very dark wood. You know I don't often do dark wood. I decided to paint it pink. |
 |
| After painting it pink I thought I would try the water slide decal that I bought from the Polka Dot Closet. I really like the way it turned out. I bought this for my porch....but now I may put it in my booth. We will see... Happy Thursday.. xoxo, Amy Jo |
 |
| 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. xoxo, Amy Jo |
 |
| 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) |
 |
| Hi everyone....I hope you are all well. I have had some people ask me about my booth and how it is going, so I thought I would give a little update. Here is a few pics I snapped with my husbands phone today. |
 |
| They are not the best quality.... The dresser and chandelier from the first month have all sold. All that you see now have been recently added. |
 |
| I love this dresser I recently refinished. It is made out of old cracker barrels. |
 |
| I have had no luck selling pictures or paintings....empty frames sell best. I am still learning what sells and what doesn't. Sometimes I put something in and the next day it is gone, other items have been in since the beginning. I love getting in the booth and rearranging. It is like playing house. I am hoping to add some handmade things this month....and see how they sell. So far my furniture has been the biggest hit.....Blessings to you all on this wonderful spring day! xoxo, Amy Jo |
 |
| Oh, I was almost late to the ball!! I just found this beautiful dress form at Jo-Anne's. It came with 2 changeable covers. |
 |
| I dressed her in a vintage Montgomery Ward dress that I found several years back at a thrift store. |
 |
| I actually took some pictures of my daughter in it. |
 |
| It is now destined for my booth... |
 |
| We will add a vintage rhinestone studded hat... |
 |
| A few pearls and sparkles... |
 |
| We can't forget our bag...vintage of course darling... |
 |
| We wouldn't expect anything less... |
 |
| Now we are ready to go to the ball! I am joining the Polka Dot Closet for he 2nd annual dressform ball... I will see you there.  xoxo, Amy Jo |
 |
| I wanted to tell you about an online shop called Rose Blossom Cottage. They sell the most beautiful charms, bracelet's and necklaces. |
 |
| I have been collecting their charms for a few years now and this one is my most recent. I can't wait to wear this for Easter. I am hoping to find the perfect Easter dress or rummage through some of my old things and create a new outfit. |
 |
| Rose Blossom Cottage has broken china charms and hand painted charms. They will also create a charm using a picture. |
 |
| On the back of the middle heart they engraved Frank and Amy. I just love it! I am not in any way affiliated with them. I just think they have such beautiful jewelry. I hope you will stop by and see them. |
 |
| Lastly I wanted to show you my first chalkboard... actually I had two of these with Hulda pictures in them. But the pics were very dark. I looked them up online and they shouldn't have been so dark. So I felt OK about covering over them with chalkboard paint. One I am keeping and one is in my booth. What have you been up to? |
 |
| Well girls, I have been working on my booth for a week and I thought I would give you a peek inside. There is still tons to do! The store called early and said I could set up and I thought I should. Ready or not. |
 |
| I have already sold four picture frames, the little 1950's chair and a pillow! |
 |
| I still have lots of work to do.... but it is moving along. I will show you more after my dear hubby gets in here and helps...LOL. ( I need him to build me a few things) |
 |
| Remember the dresser I bought off of craigslist? Well, this is the completed dresser minus the top pulls. They are now on. One was broken and I found a replacement on eBay. I love how it turned out and it looked so lovely in the bedroom. |
 |
| I painted this little statue... I think he is so cute! |
 |
| This is the chandelier all painted and ready to go.... I love how it turned out. |
 |
| Last night we went to an auction and I got a few good finds.... Like this mirror. For $30.00 |
 |
| I wanted one particular picture and they lotted them together with these not so attractive paintings... |
 |
| This one isn't bad but it isn't my style, Levi likes it though. |
 |
| This was the one I was after. I thought it was so pretty... I don't know if I can sell her I like her so much. |
 |
| I got some pretty china. For cheap..... |
 |
| This is one of my favorite things... Do you know what it is? It is a gentleman's shaving chest. Inside were so many treasures. An old Masonic book written in secret code. It was copyrighted 1941. Bullets with 1939 written on them and many other manly treasures.... |
 |
| Lastly is this wonderful floor lamp... It is old you can tell by the cord and just its general appearance. I am going to fix this up real cute..(fingers crossed) I have been extremely busy trying to get it all together. I am praying it will all turn out well. I can't help but have doubts about the whole thing...but I am in it to win it. Savanah has been helping me and so has Levi. My husband has also been amazing about helping me. He took me to the auction and stayed with me from 3:00-8:30. He got me drinks and M&M's.(love) We were looking around at the auction when I ran into my Aunt and Uncle doing the same thing. (great minds think alike) So it turned into a family affair! She got the most beautiful dollhouse and curio cabinet. We were two happy girls! I hope you all are having a blessed weekend. |
 |
| I can't believe it but we are finally going to remodel our master bathroom..... it has been a long time comin'... Do you know what this is? |
 |
| It is a hot tub and it is right off of the bedroom..... I know strange. But it is leavin' and I couldn't be happier to say good bye. |
 |
| After you pass the hot tub you will find the bathroom. It is smaller for a master bath, it has a standard shower tub combo, a single sink, and a toilet. |
 |
| But soon (the good Lord willing) we will have a new bathroom with a claw foot tub!!! I am so excited about this... My Dad will be overseeing this project. And he said he will start tearing it out sometime next week! I have dreams and they include bubbles and a lot of hot water...;) I will keep you updated. |
 |
| Here is one of the finished little stools (from my mom).... I was so excited because I painted the wire, and then I started to tear off the ugly yellow plastic cover on the little seat. Well guess what was underneath the cheap plastic.?. |
 |
| The original 50's pink vinyl in perfect condition...so no cover needed!! I love it when something like that happens. I just scrubbed it with a little bleach and water and it was in great shape. |
 |
| This is the before. ..I have been diligently working away on a whole lot of stuff for my booth. I am as excited as ever and can't wait to get started....Thank you for all of your words of encouragement. It means so much....to have someone cheering you on. I hope your week is blessed.
xoxo,
Amy Jo
