Today was a pretty good day here.....Goodwill, St Vinny's and a few garage sales (which my son loves now and didn't wanna go home). My Grandma Van Dam would have been so proud (she was a master garage saler, kinda turned hoarder though) I've been on the hunt for these brass or iron frames, very old, dirty ones that most people just toss out. I've found that if I paint I can still manage to get one done, still watch the kids and have them paint too (which Sammy loves to so as well, but I don't trust that boy with a brush if I'm not constantly eyeballing him). But I made one for this beautiful little girl Stella and working on Mae Mae's now but with a wooden frame because I've not been able to find anymore. It's so cute, they are easy and made with my collection of scrapbooking paper that I never ended up using:)
If that's not enough I'm also on the rant of recovering anything in my house that I currently don't like, which isn't that much because we've got like ALL leather furniture but I am working on vintage shopping to find benches and little stools. I'm so in love with the old Cali/ Florida look......love it. Yellows, blues and greens with white or cream. So pretty:)
Just wanna through in a little tid bit......Sammy's communication level is now through the roof (He's only 3) and now he talks in almost complete sentences ALL DAY LONG and has no idea how loud he talks. I love that kid but man I can't wait till he starts realizing how loud he is. Shhhhh in this household means nothing. Can't talk though because they get it from me:) Layla is all biten up by the native mosquitos (seriosly frickin HUGE), I read that they have to have the right condition to hatch..... and they are terrible this year. I've never seen them this big and they actually can poke through jeans........only in MI.
Here are the pics! Minus the stool I've recovered.
