RAINDROPS AND HAND PAINTED ROSES
Crystal raindrops are falling hard against the windows of my La Chaumière de Briarwood today. My plans for visiting my favorite antique haunts and vintage decor shoppes have been dashed! I do not like driving in pounding rain and so I don't. Despite the gloomy, almost lemony-gray colored sky, I welcome this random watering of the earth. I breathe it in and it calms my restless spirit. I'm not TOO upset that my day's plans were altered...
I'm still a bit agitated over my ordeal of two days ago. Truthfully, I was looking forward to a little shopping and discovering charming new finds... and of course lunching at Mimi's with my precious friend, Lindsay. Instead, I will stay home and work play at restocking both my ETSY and eBay shelves. (It's going to be a while before I get enough product finished to reopen my Website...I will though...just be patient with me, OK?).
Here's a sampling of what's coming up....

Circa 1940 Drop Front Secretary
This simply delightfully sweet, drop-front Secretary will soon to be adorned with hand painted pink roses and dainty sagey green leaves... So shabby chic!
OPENED UP!
And you ONLY THOUGHT I was taking a break! NOT! It takes a LONG TIME to base paint things and this is only a small portion of what will be offered up before Christmas! I love what I do...so much fun and therapeutic, too! Especially so on days like today... I don't have to get dressed up and trudge through puddles or drive on rain-slicked streets to complete a project!
LOTS OF PRETTIES COMING UP
I especially love the vintage shoeshine box above and the soon-to-be pink rose ornaments! Yummy!
And...this charming vintage hanging lamp is just too good to be true! She will eventually have hand painted roses and rosebuds accenting each candle cover...SWEET!

One last bit of news...
I'm ALMOST finished with the TUTORIAL on HOW TO PRINT IMAGES ON FABRIC! I hope to have it all ready for you by the middle of the month!
Blessings to you as wrestle with the rain, bask in the sun, whistle while you work or lazy the day away enjoying the very life you've been given...Rebecca
