Today's Treasures

I have been in such a creative mood lately and oh my gosh does my house look like it ~
I just say it is the creative personality that tends to have different projects going in every part of the house ~ soooo if you are one of those neat creative people, bless you and maybe send some neatness my way !

These are a few pictures of today's creations that can be found on my website ~

Timeless Textiles

So I think I am officially amazed that it is time for another Make Mine Pink Friday Shopping Event ~ WOW where do the weeks go ??

This week the theme is "Timeless Textiles" ~
We have listed some items that are 10% off for now through Friday night at midnight ~ Plus with any purchase get a Free set of 2 handmade tags ~

Farm Living in Kansas

We are in Kansas for some antiquing and just hanging out at our friends house ~


They live in an old house in a small town that doesn't even have a manned Post Office ~ It is fun to visit and go to the little towns around and shop at the antique stores ~




The guys shot their guns so we had to go out and be Annie Oakley which was kind of fun too ~


We made tons of salsa because their garden was overflowing with tomatoes ~ it is soooo yummy !!



We will be on our way home tomorrow but it has been fun !

Office Chic

It is time for the participating shops at Make Mine Pink's Friday Shopping Event where the theme is
"Office Chic" ~

We have added some feminine office items that have not been seen before
on our website ~





All items in our Friday Shopping Category are marked down 10% for tomorrow and you will also get a free bookmark with every order ~

Christmas Soldered Charms & Mini Charms

We have added some soooo sweet in Pink Christmas Soldered Charms to our Jewelry Category ~




I love the simplicity of a single word or image ~
This is the first of some new mini charms that will be just that ~

Painting Day

I haven't painted in forever it seems so I decided I better do a few days before the cold weather sets in ~

It is fun to find treasures at flea markets and then bring them home to recreate into something sweet for your cottage home ~ This is a really popular vendor, obviously :)



My favorite colors are any shade of white and pinks so today I mostly painted white with some pink~

The first step of the process is priming the entire piece ~ I use Kilz just because I like it the best ~




The next step is to let that dry and then apply the color and then I like to distress my pieces ~ The final step is a matte sealer coat ~




I am working on listing the items you see being painted ~ most are in our Vintage category but some are in the Romantic Home category ~

Soldered Charm Sale

I just wanted to let you know that we have some new Halloween and Thanksgiving soldered charms in our Jewelry category ~






But the best news is that we are going to have a sale like we have not had before on the charms ~ For every charm you order you will get 10% off PLUS a FREE ball chain ~

This would be a wonderful time to stock up on charms for Christmas gifts ~ Each one always comes with an organza bag ~

The sale will run through midnight on September 8th ~
