What I've been up to this week ...

Been getting ready for the Chick's Picks (www.chickspicksbyhillary.com) show all week, which explains why I haven't posted much lately. A friend of mine and I were given free reign to set up the back deck for Mother's Day. We had such fun putting together a very frilly, very girly fantasy tea party. Wanted to share some pics ...

Now that that's winding down, I'll get back to posting and filling orders. Thanks for everyone's patience! Will be posting lots in the next week so I can make room for all the goodies I find at Brimfield (I'm counting down the days ...)

Fantastic weekend ...

Lovely weather this weekend ... top-down-driving and bike-riding kind of weekend. First stop was to a church rummage sale ... where I got this playpen ... for FREE! I had my eye on it and when they told me I could have it ... SOLD (well, not exactly ... you get the idea). I just know I'll need the parts for something someday ...

Later in the day I hopped on my bike and took a ride around town. It's funny the things you really notice when you're not whizzing along at 45 MPH. Like these flowers ...

And handmade signs ...

And old driveways that lead somewhere ...

I sense a pattern emerging ...

Just made my reservations for Brimfield (insert squeal of delight here!) But as I look around my workroom ... under the desk, behind the door, buried under piles of papers ... I realize I need to move a bunch o' stuff before I have any business buying more.

SO, through the end of April, I'm offering 20% off all orders. Yes, you heard me correctly! All orders. Use coupon code BLOG20 when checking out. You can use this coupon as many times as you want! Help me clear the floor to make room for more goodies.

To entice you, I just posted a boatload of vintage patterns this evening ... http://thepaperfleamarket.com/patterns.html

Daisy's dog days

Spent the day getting back to business ... but just one more vacation indulgence, if you please. Presenting Daisy on vacation ...

She's a good little traveler ...

And cuddler ...

OK, so this isn't Daisy (just seeing if you're paying attention). But this little dog is wearing the cutest little lavendar visor with a daisy on it. This is Molly Malone who was moving so fast that I couldn't get her in focus!

Trying to destroy the evidence after swiping a roll off the counter ...

She likes to sit on the couch ...

And in the sand ...

Going home ...

The End (you knew that was coming, didn't ya?)

Last day of Spring Break...

Reflecting on a lovely week at the beach ... will be back at the store posting and filling orders on Monday!

Can you see the gator?

This gives new meaning to "shellfish" ...

Spring eye candy

Am away on Spring Break this week ... treasure hunting and recharging my creative batteries. Didn't want you to forget about me, so thought I'd share some pretties from the past few weeks ... but didn't have time to post!

Made it!

Loved it!

Bought it!

Sold it!

Ruffles & streamers & fun!

Here's the tablecloth on the table! Also made some matching streamers and a chandelier ... Oh my golly, these were so much fun to make!
