Another busy Saturday

Today I am setting up at our Autumn Classic Car show. I have mainly taken my fall items this time. With my sale next weekend I did not have many extras to spare. I did think the display turned out pretty and the candle smells Divine too! 
   I have been preparing our other building for our Christmas Open House and I am more than excited about that too! Never dreamed I would be so busy!

Before Picture of a Real Beauty

Dear friends, I have been working so hard today. I found this piece at a garage sale and I fell it love with it.  I know it is difficult to tell by my pictures but it is a terrible shade of yellow with gold trim.
 I have decided to keep this one for my living room so we delivered it to our foyer for a make-over. It is not ideal but right now everything is full of furniture for our Christmas Open House in November.
I had already started to take a drawer out before I remembered to take a picture but I wanted you to see the curve in the doors.
This is a little closer so you can see the top trim and the gold as well. It is just a terrible combination but a little paint and it will be as good as gold.
There is a similar trim on the bottom. I spent 5 hours painting today so it no longer looks like this but it is not done.I had two other pieces that needed some attention so I had to stop working on it. I will not have time to finish it tomorrow since I am taking a road trip tomorrow with dd and sil.
   I am excited to get this one done and then I will share it in it's new spot!

Preparing for October

Dear Friends, I have been so busy with the shop that I have not started much of the decorating for our home. There is so much to do and time is growing short for some of the things that I wanted to complete. I am taking a break today to rest and to finish my thoughts.
I am in love with some of the new items for the shop. The black and white look so crisp. I am sure they will be a big hit.

This little chalkboard is just the cutest!!!
I am also in love with this newest clock. I have been waiting on it since last February.  I am going to try to put together the bling for the other part of the shop and then I will share those pictures as well. Spent the day at an auction with my SIL and brother and we could not stop laughing. It was nice that they could go with me since dh was busy. I did purchase a new piece of furniture for my home and I will share it soon!

So it is time!!! Our next sale is fast approaching. tomorrow and Saturday. The temperature is not co operating with 90 in the forecast but the sale goes on either way. My fb page has increased and I seem to have gotten a lot of interest this past month so off we go!
We try to have new and unique items, those one-of-a- kind items that keep everyone wondering what we are up to.
We have started a quilt collection and we are hoping that they love them as much as we do!

More beginnings!

Hello Dear Friends, I have been getting things ready for the September opening and I thought I would share our newest project. Well, it is the beginning of a new project. My dh has decided to let me use his building for our Christmas Open House.
We are working on getting ready for some insulation so we don't freeze and then we will begin putting up our make-shift walls. I will share more as more happens but I can't tell you how excited I am and how nervous I am. This will expand out selling space and all the fun!
We have spent all weekend working and since it is the end of our summer I guess it was a good weekend to start a fall project.  Can't you just image Christmas tress and twinkling lights??? It has been so hot this weekend that I can't see it at all yet but it will come! What a great hubby! He is so generous and kind. He knows that I am still having such a difficult time without my parents and I know he is putting forth a  lot of effort to help me in the hopes I will start to be my old self. truth is I am not sure I will ever be my old self but with God's help I will be an improved version! Thanks for sticking with me!
