New Furniture

Hi all!!
Hope you had a great weekend.

My daughter Amanda had me up at the crack of dawn on Saturday for garage sales.

There were so many that day. One of the last sales of the day, I found this pretty cabinet.

I had been looking for something pretty to use for storage and display. Not sure if you can see all of the detail from the picture, but it has crown moulding at the top, and a really pretty applique. The white shelves and back have a slightly crackled look. This was a designer piece, but the lady was changing her decor. If you look inside the cabinet, you will see a vintage cake stand from another sale. Oh I forgot, girls like to know the garage sale prices. Well, the lady wanted $150 for the cabinet, but let me have it for $100. The cake stand was $2. (Click on picture to make larger)
Here is a closer view.


My daughter also found some great stuff. She is really getting into the garage sales, since she got married, and bought a house.

She is always amazed at what you can find out there.


Now for my chair. This did not come from a garage sale, but an antique mall. We used to have a bigger chair in this corner, but we recently redid our master bedroom/bath, so we needed a smaller chair. I used a lot of linen in the redo. We spotted this chair that had already been recovered in a pretty linen fabric. It turned out to be really comfortable too. It wasn't a bargain, so my husband had to talk me into it. We actually went home, and I thought about it. I had been exhausted from hosting 4Th of July the day before, so I went to take a rest on the sofa. When I woke up, my husband had gone back to the shop and bought the chair for me. I am so glad he did. It fit perfectly, and looks perfect in our redone room. Thanks again honey!!!

Just another little view of my dining room.

Hope you all have a great week ahead!!

Glitter, Glitter, and More Glitter!!!

Hi all, sorry I haven't been visiting you the last 2 days, but I am up to my eyes in glitter.
Seriously, I always have it on my face, and it sticks to the sun screen, lotion etc.

I have been working on more Halloween items for Garden Memories!!

This is a large box, bigger than the ones I have in the previous post.
Here is a large witch hat. The one I brought to the shop got sold already, so I had to make another one.
Each component is made by me, so it takes some time, but it's worth it. I think you can click to make pictures larger.

I also have to keep replacing these poodle boxes. I think there are a lot of poodle fans out there.



I made some new stand-up Fleur's too.

I hope you are all having a great week, and I will try to visit your blogs soon.

Love,

Rosemary

Halloween!!

Trick or Treat?

Just some pictures of my recent Halloween pieces. I have already started working on my favorite holiday. Garden Memories will be carrying all of these for Halloween. If you are ever interested in any of my pieces, just let me know.

Not sure why these came out so small.

Robyn, from Happy House of Haas wanted to see some of the things I have been working on. So this is what I was doing in between my remodel, and getting ready for the 4Th of July.

Hope you all have a nice week!

Looking for This!!!

Hi All!!!
I thought you might be able to help!!!

I am looking for the impossible.


The 2004 retired Wendy Addison Large DREAM Garland.


I am obsessed with finding it.


I want it for above my bed. I did the room redo, and I need this to be the icing on the cake!!!


I thought I would ask the help of my fellow bloggers!!


I will even make it worth your while. I will award a prize to the person who finds where I can purchase this illusive item. I have scoured the Internet, and eBay only to come up without it.
So if you can help me out let me know.
I appreciate the help.
Thanks in advance.
Love,
Rosemary

Happy 4TH of July!!!!
