You know where I had my break up with old man winter the other day? Well he's like that old boyfriend you had in high school that you broke up with, but he wouldn't take no for an answer. It is freezing here with torrential winds and tons of rain for the last two days. Topher was out of town for the first half of the week, so there was a bit more on my plate than usual, and with my new booth space opening next week my to do list is a mile long. One thing I can cross off my list was this ... VIEW POST
Stenciled Side Table
A Break Up Letter (and a vintage secretary makeover)
Dear cold weather- I am sorry to say ... I am ready to break up with you. I can not deal with your wicked ways any longer. I am a summer girl. Shorts. Yard sales. Being able to walk the pups. No school. And the shaved ice place up the street. That's the type of weather I'm looking for. No. That's the type of weather I need. I do not like having to wear a coat just to go to the mailbox, or having to listen to the unnamed child gripe about having to scrape the frost from her windows in the ... VIEW POST
Vintage Mirror Makeover
Happy Monday!! I hope you all had a great weekend! Mine was pretty busy. Topher and I were godparents at my niece's baptism, and she was so good! No fussing, and she didn't even spit up on her baptismal gown. I was a painting maniac! My dogs are so multi-colored it's ridiculous -- I'm not sure why they can't walk into my studio without rubbing up against the piece of furniture I'm painting. I did get quite a few projects finished, but I still have some big ones in the works. I'm ... VIEW POST
Easter Egg Trees
Do you remember on Friday, when I told you how excited I was that we were going to have our first Spring Break here in a million years with beautiful weather? Well, apparently Mr Weatherman is a big fat liar: Friday was nice out, and the first half of Saturday ... then it got cold and started pouring rain (which then turned into hail for a good portion of the day). Then Sunday, it was freezing -- as in Shanna-could-not-use-her-paint-sprayer-like-she-planned-to freezing. Yesterday, it was in ... VIEW POST
Easter Peeps Wreath
When I was little, my grandma would buy all of us grandkids Peeps for our Easter baskets. Remember Peeps? Those little sugar-covered marshmallows, shaped like little chicks? As a kid, I was obsessed with them, and now they make my teeth hurt just looking at them. Even though you couldn't pay me to eat them today, I still get a feeling of nostalgia when I see them in the store. When I was at Michael's a few weeks ago, I saw little boxes of what looked like fuzzy little peeps, and I ... VIEW POST
The Harlequin Table and How My Dog Nearly Killed Me
Topher, the unnamed child, and I were all out to dinner the other night discussing the pups. A story came up, that I think I tried to block-out, about how Gracie bolted out the front door and played a "fun game" of chase with a crazy woman (me), a minister, two construction workers, and a school bus full of gawking children (and one mortified one). Back when I worked outside the home, mornings were fairly chaotic for us. One morning, as I was halfway ready (as in I had on my nice blouse, ... VIEW POST
