Holiday Open House!

Come Join Us!

Holiday Open House Tonight 6pm

at Queen of Hearts Antiques & Interiors in Buford, Ga

Goodies will be served as you shop for goodies.

Toy Box Hubby Built!

Here is the finished toy box that my hubby Joe reconstructed.

This was our daughter Katie's toy box, but the top had warped from being in the garage.

Joe made a new routed top, and added the bead board, molding, glass knob.

I think it looks lovely!

Thanks sweetie, for all your help.

Tutu Cute Christmas Tree!

I wanted to show you the Tutu Cute Christmas Tree for my booth.

I just love it!! I made the ornaments out of pipe cleaners, and

plastic glass slippers from the wedding department at Wal-mart.

You can get a whole bag of glass slippers. What fun!

Inside the Armoire

I did have a picture of the inside of the armoire that hubby Joe built. Beautiful!

Queen Of Hearts

I am very happy to announce..... that I just opened a booth at a local antique shop

called Queen of Hearts in Buford, Ga.

I will have more to come. What I have to tell you is how wonderful my Hubby Joe is.

He has put his creative wood working skills to work

on this armoire. It was falling apart!

I forgot to take a picture of the inside,

but it is backed with bead board and painted robin's egg blue.

What I'll have to show you soon, is a beautiful toy box that he built.

I'll be posting that and more later.

If you are local and can come by, Queen of Hearts is having

their Holiday Open House On November 19 thru 22nd.

I'm very excited!! Yay! My first shop!

The Pleasure of Treasures

I was inspired by one of my favorite blogs today
http://susieharrisblog.com/ Bienvenue!

to look for the treasures that you may have displayed.

If they are tucked away in a dusty box in the attic

to pull them out and display them.

I just wanted to share 3 of my favorites.

The first picture is of my very first piggy bank.

This little puppy was in the delivery room picture when I was brought back in.

My Mom probably knows exactly who gave it to me

but it was so cool to see it in the picture.

I really wish I had the picture to show you. (it's at Mom's)

My Mom looked so pretty after giving birth to me.

In those days you were knocked out and when you woke up you had a baby.

Which reminds me this is really old.

Funny, I don't think I'm old at all

but looking at this piggy..... well not really a piggy-penny bank

is 40 years old....... really rings home.

Next picture is a book that my husband Joe got from his Mamaw at age 4.

Which makes it 41 years old.

Katie thought it was so neat to read a book that was her daddy's.

We are now to the youngest of the group.

Katie's first pair of ballet slippers at age 4.

That makes them 6 years old.

Now I'm going to cry!

It is a pleasure to have acquired these

treasures. My penny bank was saved from a fire

that destroyed almost everything.

My treasures are a pleasure to me

and I will always handle them with Care!
