my DIY make up table ..

TADA!!  here it is...I finally got around to doing a little photo shoot of it...
it was quite a labor of love...and really hard to keep it hidden in the workshop while I worked on it!



It started as an old vanity from the thrift store...I just used the legs and drawer with the skirt and added a new top...

 the top has a mirror base to it then a glass shelf where the trays slide under, making all her make-up clearly visible and easy to access!


 and I had alot of fun filling it up with all new make up and accessories...


 she was so shocked when she removed the paper I had draped all around it with a bow on top...I thought she was going to pass out! lol.... she made my Christmas when she said...
"this is every girls dream!"




 We had fun making these two jewelry boards with black burlap wrapped over simple foam board...
it was the perfect touch to the table in her room...



What do you think?? Every girls dream or was mom just trying to relive her teenage years?
lol.... okay...maybe I was just a little!


I'm thinking sign giveaway coming up next post...just a few days from now...
thinking Farmers Market sign to celebrate it's over 150 etsy hearts it's gotten!
woohoo!!
See you then!

What a wild ride it has been....this past month or so.  Since early December we've painted and shipped over 60 signs! I loved every minute of it...even though it meant pizza for dinner more times than I like to recall!

I couldn't get to blogging, but oh how I've missed it and really missed visiting all of you.

Say hello to Jr. Miss Sussex County... Caela Grim!
I received the cutest thankyou card and these photos from Caela for letting her borrow my car to parade with this Christmas season....isn't she just adorable? 




You're so welcome Caela....my little car looks quite famous!!



I didn't get to do alot of decorating but I did get the tree up and somehow found time
to decorate at least the front door....



Next week I'll show you the gift I made for my daughter Hannah...it was inspired by this diy makeup table I found on pinterest....

It really came out quite awesome and I can't wait to see the look on her face when she opens it tomorrow morning! (gee I hope she doesnt read this!!)


Be safe everyone and have yourselves a....

Hello my Pretties!

That was a  little belated halloween humor....! 

I really don't like it when I disappear, but it was totally unavoidable.
 Pinky swear, it was.
If October was any hint of what November will bring in the sign business...well
...let's just say I'm sorta shakin in my boots!
Honestly though..it's all good!!

If you have a sign ordered with me, custom or just a web order...
rest assured that I'm working on it, pinky swear again!!

But, if you don't have one ordered....
go to my etsy shop and check out my two newest signs....
hurry...go now...they are ready to ship!!

One in black background ~ white lettering....

Moulins de Provence

it's a mill, in France!!!





the other with a white background and black lettering....







all deliciously
chipped,
                                     faded,
                         cracked and
                         down right
                      trashy looking!
okay, trashy may be pushing but
trust me...
You'll love em!!

xo  till next time...
.oooooo yah,    wait...one more thing...
...giveaway coming soon...
pinky swear
 {that's three pinky swears in one post, oh my!!}

xoxo
