ME BLOWING A KISS TO ALL OF YOU FOR HANGING IN THERE WITH ME!!!

~Quick Update~

Just a quick update....My uncle Duane has been brought to the hospital by ambulance last night....things are not looking good and I am on my way there as soon as I post this.

He has Mesothelioma Lung Cancer and has undergone 3 rounds of chemo to help lessen the growth of the cancer. I am his VA Advocate as he was exposed to asbestos in WWII when he served on the USS MARYLAND. It's so sad to see and it is hitting me especially hard right now as it was just 2 short years ago I was going thru this same thing with my Dad. It's like every where I turn I can't get away from that word CANCER. IT SUCKS and then there is our SWEET BLOGGING FRIEND DEENA, who is fighting for her life too. Sometimes I just want to run away, I cry for those who are fighting it, for those who have died from it and then I feel so terribly guilty for beating it. It just doesn't make sense to me.

For now, the shop is on hold, not sure what is going to happen around here. If you can, please pray for Deena and for my Uncle Duane (pray that he doesn't suffer as the prognosis is not one of any hope) and pray for my Aunt Lois, who is taking this so very very hard. She's a mess and just needs someone there for her to support her thru all of this....That is what I am trying to do.

Please try this, just for one day, SAY YES to your loved one for everything they ask of you, don't tell them that is what you are doing, and see how awesome it makes things....it's a pretty cool thing to do, and doesn't take that much to do. You will be amazed!!! JUST SAY YES!!!! with no explanation or anything, just try it.

Hug those you have in your life today, Tell them you love them!!!
Catch up with all of you soon, Amy

~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
