Hobby Lobby Sales

Went to Hobby Lobby last weekend and they have some furniture on clearance. I found some in two different places. This table was by the the fake greenery. This table was regular $99.99 on sale for $19.00. Not worth $99.99 but $19.99 is a good price. I just put a lamp and a few things on it for now so you could see the size of it. It has some stain missing on the drawer I will fix.
This corner stand was regular $149.00 on sale for $29.00. Again not worth the regular price but the sale price was good. I'm going to stain it a little darker.
I just painted my main floor bathroom a soft yellow and I will put this in there. See how the top drawer opens? I wish there was a shelf at the bottom. I really don't know what to put in that space. I thought about hand towels but other than that I have no other ideas. Any suggestions?
More on this bathroom to come. Have a wonderful weekend.

Glass and Mirrors

I have a love-hate relationship with glass and mirrors. No matter how much I try with window cleaner and micro-fiber cloths, once the sun shines in they look awful! I did get around to rearranging my china hutch. It was very formal before with glass and china only. I decided to go less formal and I really like it now. I just wish I could quit opening it up and going over the glass and mirror a trillion times!
I added some fake fruit and wrought iron to soften the look. I have the rest of the china stored in the bottom of the hutch.
I also have a love-hate relationship with this curio cabinet. It came free with the purchase of the dining room set and it's nothing I would purchase. I like it so much better since I painted it a brick red. I've never had it in the dining room before but I think I like it there. See those figurines? The one on the right is a little girl holding twins. I bought one for twin years ago and then my son accidentally broke it. They are limited additions and we were so glad we found another on Ebay. Eventually I got one too and we purchased one for our older sister and our two friends who have twins. Our average winning bid was about $50.00 for each. The bottom says, Who ever told mother to order twins? The other Memories of Yesterday is a little girl holding a baby and it says Can I keep her? It's my oldest daughters.(I'm sure there have been days when it could have read-Can we give her back? LOL I love the vintage look of them.

A Little "SNEAK PEEK"

I know we have been "LAZY" bloggers but we have been VERY busy. Just thought we would tease you with a couple of our new creations. Not sure which one we love better.

I am FINALLY learning how to put our creations on to pictures. We have a lot to show you and hope to have our Etsy Shop up and running soon.

P.S. We have been a little "Behind" visiting "Our Neighbors" but just haven't had time to leave too many messages. Hugs~

From vinyl to Vegas



We're still working on getting our vinyl designs into picture form. Some of these computer programs are so hard. If you see others selling vinyl on Etsy, the presentation of the wall words, wall art, etc. looks so professional. It looks like they hung the vinyl in there own (beautiful) homes and took a picture of it when they really took a stock photo and layered their design in. It's not easy trying to figure out how to do it.UGH!

Anyway, some good news. Twin and I are going back to Vegas, baby! Her bosses are taking us again in September and we are hoping Cher doesn't cancel this time. We will also see Donny and Marie because their show is awesome and have a spa day. Once we get our business up and running we're going to need it. The Twins

Is anyone famous from your town?


Walt Willey (Jack) and Jill Larson (Opal) from All My Children, were in town this weekend to do the "Odd Couple" play. Walt is our little towns famous person. He was born and raised here and graduated from our High School. LOL They're trying to get a theater going in our town.
Twin and I thought about going but we were too busy figuring things out for our business. I also think we would have been more tempted to go if the $30.00 tickets included a meet and greet after but the meet and greet was held at a downtown bar for an additional $20.00. We have watched All My Children for years. Now if he comes back next year and brings Erica (Susan Lucci) we'll have to go for sure!!
Do you have anyone great or famous from your town?
