Mirror Redo

I'm absolutely loving the intricate frames right now!


This one fit in well with my Message Board Frame (turned menu board) and received the same blue spray paint treatment, but before we see the final product can we talk about what we see in the mirror!? I am absolutely loving our new surroundings! I love the fact that we can take little "hikes" all around our neighborhood, I love that I look out my window and see pine trees all around, and I love that it smells like camping in my very own house! So try to look past the beauty in the reflection and check out that mirror!

Farmer's Market Booth and Goodies

Here's a few pictures I managed to snap in the morning sun this last weekend while at the Farmer's Market

Here we are sandwiched in all our glory between the best (and friendliest) salsa guy ever and the funniest "Crabie Apple Ladies"  So sad I won't physically be there next week to spend the morning with these hilarious ladies and to eat some of their delicious carmel apples and popcorn!


The Random Shelf of goodness!

Cozy section and wine bottle fountain

Hair bow and Headband table

Delicious mirror which you'll see more of later. :)

If you made it to the end of the post last week you'll recognize the candle holders, here they are in all their glory and there's 3 of them! Hooray for a replacement!

Headbands displayed on the coolest candle stick ever! I think I may have actually jumped for joy when I spotted this beauty at Goodwill!

Hair accessories galore!

Bags galore!
***Bags and hair clips will be making an appearance soon in my shop, until then, if you see one you absolutely have to have, let me know and I'll pull it from our booth inventory!***

Shop is up and running and other random cuteness!

A couple months later I finally have my shop back up and running! Hooray! I feel almost silly posting this here, because I've already sold a bundle of cozies I had listed, but there's still some cute one's left and really let's be totally honest I'm not sure how much traffic my poor neglected blog generates! I will be adding some cute upcycled market bags, and some other goodies over the next couple weeks so we'll have more than just cozies! :) Now everyone pray we won't have anymore moves for AT LEAST 8 more months and that any moves around that time will be to a house of our own or I'd even settle for on the same side of the country!

In all other randomness...

Craft show last weekend was a great experience, but all I can do is tell you about it because I failed big time and got NO PICTURES! But no worries, I'm headed to the farmer's market this weekend in my hometown, so that'll be the first thing I do.  Hopefully I can duplicate our booth from last weekend because (skipping all humility here) it was adorable! Looking forward to hanging with my sis at our booth and crafting some more!

Here's your reward through making it through all that nonsense, or if you skipped over my wordiness just enjoy the goods, but (self-promotion here!) go check out my updated shop!

I scored these ugly-color-cool-looking candle sticks at goodwill

and turned them into...

Why are there only 2? My sis broke one last week, but have no fear I went back and bought the remaining one at goodwill, it's still in the process of be repainted!

Love them!

Melt my heart...

Hallie decided to join in on the crafting fun this week, she wanted to cut fabric instead of paper so I gave her a piece of scrap fabric.  She loved every minute and told me, "I'm making a dress for mommy, not for me, for mommy ok."  So sweet, she even had to sit at my desk to "finish it." I think we may need to make up some simple doll clothes soon!
Please ignore the disheveled appearance! It was right after nap time!

Crafting til' I can't craft no more...

Wow! I've wanted to try a craft show for a while now, but fear of the unknown got me and I haven't made the plunge.  Insert great sister and bam, she signs you guys up for a show in your hometown.  Ahhhh! I'm so excited, a little nervous, and SO tired! With 2 days left until the show, I've got at least 3 more bags/purses to finish, and a whole bunch of other little projects, and I've got to finalize out displays... yikes! 

I'm sure it will all come together and it will be a great learning experience, so if you're in the local area come keep me company at the 3rd Annual Greener Living and Harvest Celebration at Snoqualmie Winery.  And while your in town don't forget to enjoy the great Prosser Balloon Rally... great fun for the whole fam!


Snoqualmie invites the public to celebrate the fall wine harvest and the natural quality of the Northwest at its third annual Greener Living & Harvest Celebration on the winery grounds in Prosser, WA.

Visitors can enjoy locally sourced bites paired with Snoqualmie’s organically produced Naked wines, listen to jazz music from the Vintage Reserve Jazz Band, and browse the offerings from green-focused local vendors.

Admission is free and open to the public. Snoqualmie is located at 660 Frontier Road, Prosser. For more information, contact the winery.

Wine Bottle Fountain

My Brother-in-law just put this rockin' Wine Bottle Fountain together last week... gorgeous don't ya think!? Perfect item for Washington Wine Country!  He will be selling them at local craft fairs and by request.

Stickin' with the Trains

I love the Internet.  I'm searching for vintage type train items for decorating Micah's room and came across this train on ebay.  Gotta love the guns to the head and man smoking a cigar... not exactly something I want hanging up in my child's room, but good for a laugh during my search.  Find the item by clicking here.


I came across the most perfect train on ebay as well, sadly we won't be purchasing it with the hefty price tag of $650.00.  Check out the perfect colors! I love it! Think he'd sell it if I offered him $20? Doesn't hurt to dream right?! I'll be on the look out for a less-than-perfect set for hopefully a-whole-lot-cheaper! :)

And if you have $650 to spare and want to help me decorate his room :), you can find it here. 

I've got expensive taste! Just fell in love with this one as well.  $650 doesn't sound so bad when you check this trian made in 1875 with a measly price tag of $2,750, but at least they offer free shipping right!? Find it here.
