New peg rack...


I have had this peg rack laying around for a few months trying to decide where
to put it. Today I decided enough was enough. I hung it on a wall between our
kitchen and bathroom and love it.


I added a few french style muslin aprons and a burlap tote...


...along with a sweet little creamer...


...a vintage flower corsage and some old crochet lace.


L.O.V.E. the look!
What do you think?

Annual Peacock Park Sale...I wish I could have taken you with me!

You know when you are looking forward to something so much that you can't eat,
can't sleep, can't clean or do dishes, can't drive, can't do anything right??

Okay...okay, I am getting a little really carried away here, but I have been hoping that
Gina from Peacock Park would have a sale this year and when June came and went
without one being announced I figured it was a no go...THEN...one day not too long
ago she announced it on facebook and her blog. Happy camper here! hee hee

I was there twice on Friday and once today...plenty of times to snap up some goodies
at awesome prices although I needed a truck because I LOVED the above piece and it
would not fit in my car. lol!

{Thursday was for wholesale customers only which I am not}


There were beautiful baskets and metal ware...


...chests with numbers on them. Who doesn't love numbers these days??


lots of assorted ribbon...

these trick or treat rolled bamboo mats ...

( I brought a few of these home with me}


burlap pillow covers...


A gorgeous chair and even more baskets...


everywhere you looked was another treasure just waiting to be found...I almost brought one of these
"flower container trees" home with me, but didn't know if it would fit in the car either.


Did you notice the basket on the left is made into a lamp??


More numbered items...


Another gorgeous angel! They had one of these last year also. I love it!


I fell in love with these rusty ,screen hats , but none made it home with me. I just
couldn't purchase all that I thought was neat or I would need another home
to put it all in and I also had to save some money to pay bills ya know!! lol.


I goofed here! I intended to get a couple of these today and didn't. Today was half off day so they
were 2.50 each. All the little fleur -de -lis were broken, but I could have replaced it with something
else. Oh well...another item I really didn't NEED. :)


loved all the gorgeous gray baskets no matter the size...


numbers, numbers, numbers...


I thought this clock was gorgeous!


This is the tent you saw when you drove in. The sale was inside the tent, along the side of the warehouse
and there were also some items inside the warehouse. It was a perfect day yesterday. Beautiful,
sunny weather. Today it rained all day long.


This is the sign you see as you are driving along the interstate. I have loved the sight of this place
before I even knew what it was. Years ago, my daughter happened upon it as it is only 15 minutes from
where she lives and she told me I would love it. That is when the warehouse was actually a retail location
and as soon as you stepped inside, you were transported to a most beautiful place in time. It was
breathtakingly gorgeous each and every time we visited.

It has since closed to the public and it is now her warehouse, but Gina started her annual sale last year
and have been fortunate enough to attend both years. If you live in Michigan it is well worth the trip!!
 Hope you enjoyed seeing the photos.  I will share what I purchased with you later. Happy Saturday!

{ I never told you WHY I was there twice on Friday did I? Well, it so happens that as we got
 closer to our destination, I asked hubby to remind me to put my camera around my neck so
 I could take photos for my blog. Well , he forgot and so did I! I didn't even remember until we
 were a few miles up the road to an antique store. So , after we ate lunch we drove back so I
could get some photos just for you! ha! We also had some time we needed to kill so it worked
out just fine. Also, on my second trip I scored some freebies and can't wait to transform them.}

Keeping Busy ~

What creative things have you all been up to lately?
I have been making hand stamped muslin ribbon
for my booth at the antique store.
I have been stamping until I can stamp no more~
...and also printing and cutting out the cards
to put the ribbon on ~ my gorgeous new blessed banner on my antique mirror. can you believe I got this mirror for 50 cents at a garage sale several years ago? It was kinda falling apart and I knew my hubby could fix it. I love it~ can't believe I haven't painted it white yet though Let me know what you have been up to in the creativity department ~ Blessings~

A little time for creating ~

I finally made this little Christmas goodie from a
tutorial that I purchased from Dawn at
The Feathered Nest quite some time ago.
Isn't it sweet ?
I also made some more dried lavender sachets
in the theme of the season ~
they are in my Etsy shop now
you can click here to visit
Notice the pine in the photos? The day finally came...
they trimmed our trees.

they look very sad now.
they literally cut the whole side off
of one tree so only half the tree
is left.
I asked them to save the pine
from our tall pine tree
for me to use and not put it
in their shredder ~

Have a wonderful Thursday.
Blessings~

Lavender Sachets ~

I found out quick that I am definitely somewhat allergic to
lavender ~
Not good when I am making lavender sachets !
{they are headed over to my Etsy shop}
I have wanted to make these for so long
so I finally started them last week ~ Loving how they turned out, but they are not loving me~
I work on them for a little while and then I put them
out in the laundry room, close the door
and take a break till my sinuses settle down. As I make them the
lavender
scent hits me right in the forehead...
yep those wonderful sinuses...
not good, but I persevere!

My camera is also giving me fits again...
where is that camera fairy when a girl needs one?? lol

Just a Little Something... ~

...that I have been working on.
I haven't decided whether to leave them in BOWS
or
KNOTS~
I think the bows may be a little too foofy...
What do you think? This is a chest of drawers that I purchased at a garage sale a few years ago for $5.00. It did not have any handles and it has just been sitting upstairs unused. I decided I needed more room in my studio for storage so down it came. I also did not want to spend any money on handles so I made them out of muslin with rubber stamped images. Any thoughts?

My dad appeared much better today and was even laughing and joking with the nurses. In fact he had us all laughing! He also looked so much better than he did yesterday. Becky (his nurse) told us today about all the medicines he will be sent home with and what each one was for. She also gave us pamphlets telling all about stents, pictures of the heart and which artery was blocked etc. She was very thorough about everything and she really knows her stuff. He now has to carry a card in his wallet telling the location of all the stents. Very interesting, but a lot of information to digest. He is hoping to come home tomorrow, but we will see what the doctor says. Thank you all again so much for your prayers! Prayer definitely changes things~ Blessings~
