Girl Scout Picture Wall

Our Girl Scout Leaders are the BEST.. Look at his WALL, it is a side of a building here in Madeira. All there pictures were taken, and then pasted to the building as works of art.

That is my sweet girl in the middle...

All the photos were done in black and white.. And I LOVE them all!

The girls learned about a famous artist who would take photos of people and then paste them on the sides of buidlings.. Which artist? good question.. I have NO idea..lol.. that was the one detail I forget to get for this post.. sorry!

But look how neat this is!  WE have had cars drive by and stop.. classmate stop to take a peek.. Everyone loves it!

AMAZING! My Dog would LOVE this bed.. That is the coolest dog bed I have ever seen!

New Shop Pictures

OK, so I have been missing for a bit, and this is why.. I expanded a little in one shop and I have been busy sewing and re-doing furniture.. Here are some pictures of the shop spaces.

Here are the chairs I did not the before of.. They were just dark brown and scratched up.. but the cane is in excellent shape!

The mirror is not mine and I think I may move it.. and expand my aprons with the holidays coming up.

I need to put my rug in, hang up more stuff and take the rest of my inventory down.. It will be packed in about two weeks!

This is the other shop I have things at, right next store.. We are the same shop, but I put more of my "sewing" stuff in one and more furniture in the other one.. The pretty white furniture is the handy work on my awesome husband who helps me do it all!

I figured out how to make these prints.. I will so a tutorial on this in about two weeks.

My girls favorite office chair.. which if it does not sell, will come back home with me.  We are in the middle of switching out our furniture and re-doing our basement.. It is a huge MESS in short.

No sooner did I get these pictures done, the bookcases sold and I helped the lady take them out.. Then I had to redo the booth again :)  I'm not complaining at all!

This was my husbands idea!  I love it, not that anyone in my house would actually obey this :)

My favorite saying..

A few Burlap wine bags..

A collection of sheet music framed. .The best cheapest art you can find!

Don't ask me why, but I just love these old bottles.. Maybe because they remind me of my childhood, or just the graphics.  I know a few are about to become a birthday gift for a dear old friend who will Just love these!

This actually rolls up and is the coolest little thing.. I have had it for years and really just don't use it..

If you see anything you like, shoot me a comment or email and I will be happy to ship anything you see.. except the LARGE furniture of coarse, lol.. Have a great day.

MIA

I have been a bad blogger lately.. busy with school stuff for the kids, I did manage to find this great subway sign for $22.00 at Home Goods,but I have been so busy, the blog took a back seat!

Speaking of seats.. take a look at these chairs I found.. I know I am terrible at taking before photos but they were a dark brown.. I am in the process of making new chair cushions and I promise to take photos of the finished product..

I have squeezed in a few sales here and there.. found some awesome old fabric scraps at a sale around the corner.  These were mostly old clothes the lady had saved because she loved the fabrics..I bought a few, all for $3.00 and then washed them up.

This yellow an white was a old dress

This is black and white and was an old curtain at one time

This is Navy blue and white and was part of a dress..

And this sweet little number was a vintage dress made back in the 40's or 50's by Designer Mollie Stone.. LOVE it.. she will be displayed on one of my ladies with an apron around her dress :) 

I am expanding my space at the Mercantile.  I will down there this weekend working on that and getting it stocked for the Holidays.  Lots of great items going in the shop weekly, so if you live close, stop by.  I am hoping to get my esty shop re-stocked by next weekend.  I promise to take photos of my shop space too.  Have a great weekend!
