SAINT THERESA

On Saturday last our store was graced by the sweet and talented Theresa of Garden Antqs Vintage. I was so sad that I wasn't there to meet her,(I have loved her blog for a long time) but Ron got to meet her and experience her delightful, joyful, enthusiastic (his words) personality. We are so honored that she did such a wonderful post of our store on her famous blog. Please go check it out at Gardenantqs.blogspot.com Thank you Theresa, you are a saint!!! Here is a picture of Theresa, Her friend,( and now ours) Felicia, and Ron.

I am a pack rat. Okay, so now it's out. I save things, Ron would say HOARD. So maybe it's true, maybe I am a hoarder, but at least I hoard good stuff. And I have been trying to use up some of my stash (so I can make room for more, but don't tell Ron). I used some of my salvaged lace scraps to cover this vanity bench. I was going to keep it, but decided to sell it, so it's in the shop now, but the pics were taken at home.

Thank you all for stopping by, and again, a HUGE thanks to Theresa for all her support!!! Yall go check out her blog, it's good!!!

LACE TOTES AND MORE

These darling totes are made with vintage lace and other found embellishments, by my daughter Jesika's BFF Rachel. Jesika and Rachel share my spaces at Binky la Faye and help me do the styling. Aren't the bags great!!! Come check them out in person at Binky la Faye.

A wide shot of the Easter Table area

When the first center piece on the Easter table sold I added this rusty wire basket, now it's sold, so I need to find something else, but the wreath, eggs, nest and egg crate are still available!!!

Ron and I are planning our Easter celebration. The Boy's want a pinata this year, but we will still do an egg hunt too. What are you planning for Easter?

WEEKEND TREASURE HUNT

Spent the whole weekend treasure hunting. Even Sunday. There was a wonderful estate auction on Sunday, got some really great things. But here is what I found on Friday.

Now I have to get it all priced and into the store. Should be done in the next couple of days. Come by and check it out!!!

OLD DICTIONARY PAGES

i needed something to put in these frames at the store, so I tore some pages out of an old dictionary, found some cool copyright free images (check graphicsfairy.blogspot.com)and printed the images onto the dictionary pages, problem is about every other page got jammed, so it took alot of patience, need to figure out a better way to do it, but I really loved how they turned out and I can envision all sorts of things to do with them besides framing them. Thanks for stopping by!!!

EASTER TABLE

Gosh Easter is so late this year. But I kinda like it because everything will be green and the flowers will be blooming and surely it will be warm. Here is a little Easter tablescape at Binky la Faye. I made the eggs by covering those cheap plastic ones in old dictionary pages, my mom made the nests, and the crosses I made by wiring old lace to fallen twigs. And speaking of twigs, The beautiful Anne Lorys of Fiona and Twig is having a fabulous giveaway, check it out at fionaandtwig.blogspot.com!!!
