Also did a curio.  Originally had a mirror back, but Pro and I sorta dropped the mirror.  Not good.  So go to Plan B ,  Wallpaper.

Most, if not all, will be going to the shop.  Trying to get ready for this Saturday.

The city of Breaux Bridge is having a “ginormous” garage sale this Saturday.  So if any of you all are in the area, come on by and see us.  We are expecting about 10,000 people to come thru this small town for big deals.  The whole town is going into garage sale mode.

Scored

Look at what this roadside shopper has picked up. 

bed 006

The side is completely covered with duct tape.  Removed the tape and am now trying to get all the glue off.  Other than the duct tape that I am removing and a little wash, this piece is in excellent condition.

Pro’s Shabby Bedroom

I wanted you to visit with my friend and see what she has been doing with her new finds.

First lets welcome one of her new finds, Kitty.  Kitty sits just right on the vintage bed and chenille bedspread.

The Before.

Believe it or not, this I found on the side of the road as trash.   OK, right now it looks like trash.  But wait.

The previous owner, little girl, loved stickers and markers, ALOT.  And this is after I removed an unbelievable amount of stickers.

Isn’t it coming along great.   We still are planning on dressing up the rooms.  Lots of ideas flying around on what to do. 

Don’t you think some little girl would love this?  So it will be at my flea market booth, waiting for a special someone to take it home.

Yes, they are coffee filters

Look at what I made.

coffee filter flowers 005

I made these out of used coffee filters I have been collecting for some time.

I love the multi toned color of the flowers.  The flowers look like big old fashioned roses.  I love it. Don’t you?

coffee filter flowers 013

I had to try a nosegay.  Added a very pale peach bow and vintage lace to wrap the handle.  Wouldn’t this be awesome for a wedding.

I had to try a wreath in autumn colors too.  Love zinnas.  I’m not in love with how this one came out, but it will do.
