lifting my spirits...

Happy Friday! Have you ever had one of those days when you were a little down and did not know why? Well that was yesterday for me. I decided to head over to the shop and put some new treasures in my little corner. I thought I would share with you some photos of my re-feathering... I have had these suitcases stacked with one open on top filled with goodies but decided display them all closed for a change with some new little pillow sachets... I love the pink and brown toile, crinkly ribbon with rosette and they are filled with lavender. I got them on Etsy as well as the idea for the hand stamped vintage hanger. I hung a sweet little wall pocket above it with a vintage piece of chenille peeking out... I also just finished giving an old Cushman Smoker cabinet table a coat of white paint... I definitely began to feel better as the day went on. I am so happy to have this space and always enjoy re-feathering it! I love when I bring in something new and get to "stage" it with pretties...
We have alot of movie production companies that come in often. Imagine seeing something you created on the big screen... I finally painted an old ladderback chair too... I had to shut off one of the lights since it created too much glare in the photos. I love these old enamel house numbers... We had a hint of spring last week but it is rainy and cold today. Hopefully spring will be here to stay with summer soon to follow. I have a few signs for cottages or beach houses... I still have one "Spring" sign left too. Look at this cute little baby planter with sweet roses in the wheels... These storage boxes were originally blue but, of course, I painted them white... I also have some of the lavender scented pillow sachets in a blue and brown toile... Looks like I caught the sweet little birds kissing and there is the other box I decoupaged. I also added a lovely vintage powder tin and metal powder box with original puff inside... After a few hours of fluffing (time passes so quickly when I am there) my spirits were definitely lifted and I was smiling... Peeking at my display with my little decoupaged eggs and boxes... Inspired me to come home and create these...
These were so fun and satisfying to make! They took a bit of time but I think it was well worth it. I am trying to decide if I should put them in the shop or in my Etsy shop (or both if I shift into high gear!). Well yesterday started off not too good for me but ended up being a great day! With a few more of these dress forms to make, today is looking great too (despite the weather)! I hope you all have a wonderful day and weekend!!
