~PLEASE OH PLEASE PRAY FOR DEENA~


I just got word that Our Sweet Deena has been given some sad news.
You have no idea how much this hurts me and I am doing everything I can to stop the tears. I have no words of wisdom or words of comfort, please take a moment to pray for her because GOD DOES PERFORM MIRACLES!!!

PLEASE DEENA, KNOW YOU ARE IN OUR HEARTS and PRAYERS

All my Love, Amy

~What I have been working on~

~~FUN STUFF I have been working on to sell in the SHOP~~
~THE MOSAIC TABLE~ I took this darling little table and did mosaic on it with Vintage Rose and Pink Dishes along with Old beaded necklaces. I think it turned out pretty cool!!!!
Oh, I almost forgot, I couldn't forget added Vintage Buttons to it too!!!!
Notice the Necklaces I used on this piece????
~The 1930's Side Table~
Now, this little TREASURE was something I just couldn't refuse to buy. It has ALL of it's ORIGINAL PINK Chippy/Crackled paint still on it but the top needed a little something extra.
It's the MOST UNIQUE & ADORABLE SIDE TABLE I have ever run across!!!!

Love the tapered legs and the slatted sides. Reminds me of an old planter or baby crib. This is truly an Original Piece!!!!
I believe it's from the 1930's and so I added 1930's Vintage Gospel Sheet Music to the top!!!! Lots of these songs I remember singing as a child in the Baptist Church!!!!
I am still thinking I just might have to keep this one!!!! For awhile anyways!!!!
It's actually pretty big, and would hold lots of books and the more I look and talk about it, the more I fall in love with it!!!!~THE BUTTON CHAIR~
Done in a Creamy Off White Flat Paint that someone else painted and stenciled on. Since I didn't have the paint to match this chair, and I didn't want to repaint the WHOLE THING, I decided to cover up the stencils with VINTAGE White and Off White BUTTONS!!!!
I had A LOT of FUN with this piece, and the SEAT is MADE from an OLD BLUE and WHITE QUILT!!!!
~TONS and TONS OF OLD VINTAGE BUTTONS~
I just can't get enough buttons, I found a bunch more while going thru my rubbermaid bins, Which makes me look around my shop and trying to figure out what else can I adorn with OLD BUTTONS!!!!
Hope you are enjoying your Holiday Weekend, I sure am!!!!
Happy Happy JULY!!!!
Love and Hugs, Amy

~July 1st Pics of the Shop So Far~ 50% off everything on the website

This cupboard was taken out of an old house in the Lisbon/Mt. Vernon area. It was originally a built-in. IT'S HUGE!!! And is my FAVORITE PIECE!!! I paid $450 for it a few years back in hopes of some day opening a shop and using it for display. MY HOPES AND DREAMS are COMING TRUE!!!! Not only did I get this cupboard decorated, (I am washing, drying, ironing and cleaning EVERYTHING before I put it out for sale) I started setting up the OVAL Shabby Chic Dining Table too!!! Can't wait for that to come together!!! Did you know you can click on any of these pictures and they will open in a BIGGER window so you can see the treasures better.
I used an ANTIQUE VICTORIAN SHEET for the top cover of the cupboard, the middle area with the mirror just has old lace fabric from the bolt on it and if you look at the drawer below, you will see a GORGEOUS Vintage Roses Pillowcase folded and hanging out of the drawer!!!! LOVE IT!!!!



I'm Having the TIME OF MY LIFE!!!
HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY TO EVERYONE!!! See you this weekend!!!!
Hugs and Love, Amy
