More Goodies At Monticello


It was "Dealer Night" at Monticello last night.

This is where the vendors can come in after hours and re-do their booths and bring in more wonderful items for customers.

I took advantage of that and loaded up the car and went to work!

I revamped my area in the Garden Show, bringing in lots of new items.

So if you're in the neighborhood be sure to stop by!

Here are a few pictures of the inside of the little cabana I have.





Monticello is open, Monday thru Saturday, 10:00am to 6:00pm and Sunday from 10:00am to 5:00pm.

Hope you can make it!

Sunshine!


Here's "Dumbs" aka, Mr.Riley, he's actually being a bad boy right now, being on the table and all!

But I couldn't resist snapping a picture.

Even Mr. Riley needs a little Vitamin D.

It feels like Spring has finally arrived here in the Northwest...and it feels wonderful!

The Close of a Week-End!


Well, the week-end is coming to a close.

Insert "sad face".

I've had this past week off and let me tell you, "I loved it!".

I had a lot of fun going to thrift stores in the morning, doing a little sewing in the afternoons.

One project I got done was changing out the door panels of my hutch.

In one of my previous post I showed you the great cabinet I found.


I loved it, panels and all but being that it was in my dining room and I had all my ironstone in it, I wanted to be able to see it.

So I told my #1 what my plan was and he was willing to do it for me.

So, knowing glass for this cabinet would cost me around $24.00 a sheet, and I needed two, I decided to head to the Rebuilders Center and find an old window.

$4.00, a lot better!

So my sweet hubs took the glass out, did a little cutting then put it in the inside of the doors, framing each piece.

He does such a good job!

So, here's what it looks like now....WONDERFUL!



If I ever decide I want to put this cabinet somewhere else in my house, I've kept the inside panels just in case.

But for now I'm enjoying seeing what is on the inside of my cabinet!



Lastly, pillows ... I made quite a few of those this week.

Here is one that I kept for myself.

I found this wonderful fabric it reminded me of an old French Grain Sack, pretty expensive fabric but I loved it!

So, one stayed with me and two went to the shop.

Thank you for stopping by!

An Apron ~ Pretty & Feminine


After such a busy week it was nice to relax today.

I did a little cleaning and a little decorating and sewing (for me).

And you know what, it felt good!

Here is a sweet little apron that I will eventually take to the shop but until then I'll display it.



Isn't it feminine and pretty.

I'm linking up with Kathleen of Faded Charm for White Wednesday!

Hope you have a great evening!
