~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I will hopefully begin sharing picts from the show with you Tonight or tomorrow ..But ... I am headed out with my Parents to the hospital today ..My Dad is having some very serious health issues ..relating to his heart and arteries. He has already had a triple bi-pass and corotid artery surgery and we are looking at another artery surgery again. He has been having mini strokes ..so today will be the angiogram to determine what the course of action will be. His procedure will be at 3:30 today so all your prayers would be greatly appreciated. My Dad is only in his early 60's and a young 60 at that very active and vibrant ..so this is very scary for all of us. We know God has brought us through all his earlier surgeries and health issues and he too will uphold us in this one ..Please Pray with us for healing of his body ..and for the guidance of Good Dr.s and Nurses hands and to bring about a peace among us as we face this next season of life.

# 4 Sneek Peek ...Only 2 more Days till the Sale !!!!

O.K. ...here is sneek peek #4 ....

Abbey and I spyed this Vintage Metal Cupboard at an Estate Sale ..Old Worn and stashed in the corner of a garage ..No one had any interest in it ..but Abbey and I could see the Gem it could become with a little love !!!


This Cupboard stands about 5 and a half feet tall ..and has double doors on bottom and top with a cute drawer in the center ..we have added our sweet touch of a vintage flower basket ..the Song of Solomon Verse ..and some beautiful Vintage Birds ...along with a wonderful Paint facelift that is perfectly vintage looking itself.

This is such a sweet Piece ..we did have to question rather it should even go to the show or stay right here at home... The show won out ...so lucky somebody will be going home with this sweet treasure !!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

By the way ..I just wanted to say Thank You to all of those who have left comments the last few days ..and have signed up for the Free Giveaway ...I am so busy getting ready for this show right now ..I can't get by your blogs to say Hi ...but I will ...you can count on it ..It may be a few weeks ..as my dad is having some health issues and I don't know what the next week is going to hold for us. Please keep us in your prayers.

Wishing you warm Spring Days filled with Beautiful Blooms and Lovely Fragrances ...

Your Kindred Friend ...Sara

# 3 Sneek Peek ..headed to the show...

ONLY ... 3 More Days till the show ...

And today is Sneek Peek # 3 ...

If you Love Garden Statuary ...rather you Decorate with it outdoors or in ...then we have some wonderful pieces we'll be bringing to the show this Friday and Saturday ...


These 2 Pillars and this Beautiful Statue of a Lady ...are Just 3 of Several More Pieces that will be coming with us ..

..We even have a pair of the the pillar turned on it's side ..I love how it has a Feather design to it...

***************************************

So Yesterday I said I would share a picture of our business cards I have been working on ..Of course this picture doesn't do them justice nor show the hours of work that have gone into them. We started making business cards like this about 8 years ago ..and when we had our antique shops ..we ran out of them quicker than I could make them. You really have to love what you do to put the time and effort into them ...and they do pay off ..people remember a GREAT business Card.





So Here it is ...I used the old shipping tags ..and ran them through a paint and aging process ..then added a piece of vintage scrap lace ..topped them with a printed torn and aged edge card ..and tied the top off with a piece of cute cream and white check homespun ..I have a cute idea for displaying them ..but that's a secret ..I'll share picts of it from the show with you all...next week.

Well Today ..I have been finishing up pieces have started and finished 2 others and have 3 more awaiting me at the kitchen counter. The House looks like a bomb went off ..I know what I'll be doing ALL next week ..That really bad 5 letter word " Clean" ...LOL !!!

Alrighty off to work some more ..Hope you are all having a most Lovely of Lovely Days ..
