Jewelry for my furniture, why not.

This hand me down piece was given to me by one of my sisters. I had painted it last year but I felt it still was not me. My sister suggest that I try changing the hardware and OMG that did it. Just that little thing made such a big difference. I went with clear, even though I was so tempted with the all the beautiful colors available. Now it's really mine, love it.    

Loving my new little napkin holder.

Had to share one of the many goodies my sister recently got for me. They were here to visit a few weeks ago and came with the cutest little things she knew I would love. They left the busy hustle and bustle of the urban city for a lay back life in the country and they love it. I'm so happy for her and her family but I sure miss them. The surrounding areas where they live is junkin heaven. So much so that she has made quite a booming little  business for her self, that's her and her friend Beth. 

She found this metal mesh napkin holder and I of course had to dress it up a bit. I used a pair of beaded vintage earrings, adhered one on each side with my favorite metal glue, E600. I think I'll use it to hold my loose mix media cards.

Summer garden beauties.

It's been very hot here in Miami and it's been raining just about every day. These mid summer showers are needed and thank God the sun comes out right after the rain. So excited cause my hubby just out of the blue said that he wanted to do the lawn. Now that's a big deal for us, you see my hubby does not enjoy gardening at all. He helps me with the heavy and hard work, but it's really not his passion, he just does it to help me. The man that does our lawn has stood us up for like a month now, I think he's had it with the large tree roots in the from of the house. I know they have bent a few of his lawnmower's blades. So James said, how hard can it be to cut the lawn. He went and got himself a little mower and a weed eater. It's been sitting in my living room for a few days and we just look at it, lol.  He's been reading all the manuals and watching tutorials on how to cut the lawn. I know it's something so simple, but he has to do his prep stuff, this girl is not complaining a bit. Baby steps, baby steps.  

My spa work room.

I don't think I've ever posted anything about my work space.  Here is a peek at my work room. I have the chandelier right on top of the client's bed and it's on dim most of the time. I love classical music, my fav is nature sounds with classical music and my favorite scent in Lavender. So blessed to really love what I do. 

My new milk glass lamp, so pretty.

I'm so happy how my lamp turned out. I've never actually done this but, I found lots of tutorials on You Tube. My sister and our friend Beth had given me 3 small milk glass lamps and I had no idea how I was going to use them. I had this very old lamp right on that same spot, but it was time for a change. So i decided to just make one tall lamp. It took a little doing cause it was my first time, but over all it was a simple project.
The lamp shade frame I already had, but it was brown so I used some beautiful white eyelet fabric that I had just enough. You can see on the very bottom the 3 pedestals from the original lamps. Thank you ladies for the beautiful lamps, I love them.

My little bouquet of sunshine.

Feeling so much better now, but I did have to go on antibiotics. After trying every holistic remedy I could think of, I gave in and thank you Lord for meds. I felt so good today that I was able to work on a few projects, mostly painting a few little things. Maybe not the best thing to be smelling paint, but I thought about it after I was done and I was having so much fun.  

It's been  very dry and hot down here and my Roses are not looking very happy but I was able to put this little bouquet together and think is so sweet. I used what I could find out there, Rosemary, Rain Lillie, Crocus, and a few little Roses. 

HAPPY 4TH.

Vintage hats for my Ella, so beautiful.

I finally made it to my blog, lol. It's been a hectic month for me, but not very creative at all. Been working in the garden and cleaning up outside a lot. Ok, what else has been going on.  My sister came to visit and she was here for just a few days. Now that was a nice treat, to see the kids, they're so big and beautiful. I had all these plans for things I wanted to do with them but, I've had the worst flu ever. Talk about timing, I never get sick and why now. I was so happy that my mom got to spend lots of quality time with my sister, now we have to plan the next trip. 

Going to see the Doc next week, cause this is not a normal flu or maybe it is???? My sister brought me these beautiful vintage hats that our friend Beth and her found for me. These girls have so much fun junking around. They make me happy, just looking at them.
