Heading out early this morning to finish the last minute prep for the show… and to make sure the wind and rain didn’t destroy our set-up! Here are some quick pics I shot for you before I loaded up.

Pop-Up Shop
May 16, 2013 by
Today I am loading up all my vintage finds, makeovers, and handmade stuff I’ve been stockpiling the past 2 weeks and setting up shop at the Springfield Ohio, Flea Market Extravaganza. You can find me and my friend Marcy among the Vintage Marketplace’s outdoor spaces. We would love to see you there!
I thought I’d share some pics from a year and a half ago when I did my first ever pop-up shop at ‘The Brick Farmhouse Event’, my friend Kara hosted at her home.

Rusty Fence Project
May 15, 2013 by
It started out as a new roll of wire reinforcing for putting in concrete. It was purchased to be used in a DIY concrete sidewalk project that never materialized. So it languished away by the side of the barn through Summer’s thunderstorms, Autumn’s leaves, and Winter’s ice and snow.
And slowly it gained this wonderfully rusty, beautiful patina. Patiently it waited, longing to be noticed, wanting to shout about how lovely it had become and how perfect it was for some fun project.

French Chair Makeover
May 14, 2013 by
Just when I think I’m ahead of schedule I decide I’m actually behind.
Just when it seems I’m getting almost to the finish line, I remember a few more things I wanted to do.

Roses – or Weeds?
May 11, 2013 by
Handful of Weeds
Four years old, with dirt on my face I’d been out in the backyard
pickin’ dandelions all day
I burst through the front door when I’d gathered enough

Folding Chair Makeover
May 10, 2013 by
My internet is finally back up and running. After hours on the phone, 3 different modems, and a tech out for an hour they finally changed a password and viola! it worked. Go figure. Why couldn’t they have tried that on Monday morning when I was on the phone with them the first time? Seriously. The tech didn’t do anything I hadn’t already done. Oh well, I’m just glad it’s back.In the ‘down’ time I managed to get quite a few projects finished up for the Springfield flea market. One week from today we will be setting up there!! Woo-Hoo! I’m praying for clear skies and perfect temps

What I do when my internet goes down…
May 6, 2013 by
My internet went down last night. One of my pet peeves is being without internet. It didn’t bother me too much last night, I just figured I’d get up and post to my blog early this morning.

Finding Home
May 2, 2013 by
I like this house I live in. It has become the place that is home to me. I share it with my husband and our three girls. It’s where I want to be most of the time. It’s where I want to go to when I’m somewhere else. It’s comfortable. It’s mine. It’s familiar. It’s just home.

And the Winner is…
May 1, 2013 by
The giveaway has ended and I just have to tell you how overwhelmed I am at the response. The last giveaway I did that was just from me, just for fun was a couple years ago at least. I was delighted then to have about 25 comments! This time there were over 100 comments 
Thank you so much to each and every one of you – you cannot know how much I appreciate you coming back here and supporting me!

Busy, Balance, and Some Creations
April 30, 2013 by
Life is busy. I would venture to think that it has always been that way. I would guess that even Eve, clear back in the beginning of time, thought she was busy. A whole different kind of busy – just figuring out how to do laundry and cook without anyone to show her how was probably enough to fill her days for a long time!

Finds – Thrifted, A Gift, and IKEA
April 29, 2013 by
‘ve found some fun stuff at Goodwill over the past few weeks, had a really cool vintage item given to me, and was privileged with a trip through IKEA. Would you like to see my finds? Oh, goodie, I was hoping you would say yes! Let’s get going and feast our eyes on all the goodness of retail therapy. I am not addicted. imnotimnotimnotimnotimnot.
