Well my friends, today is going to be a conglomeration of pieces that I worked on last week. It turned into crazy week because my booth got absolutely ransacked, and I had to get it looking spiffy for the big antique show that was in town over the weekend. I say all this to preface my "not so pretty shots" in this post. There are pieces everywhere in the studio, and my normal photo wall is occupied with a large piece of pink goodness right now......so without any more rambling here goes:
This little stool and side table {no before shot} needed some punch..... thus the bright colors and the crazy fun with the gold leaf accents.
....and then there is this sweet little red chest of drawers that my dad brought me back from upstate NY. She was so sad, and her drawers were an absolute mess, but that is what makes all of this so fun. Lots of sanding, adjusting, and waxing later she is a beauty.....and her name is "Rovette".
....and there ya have it!

| Speaking of "ripe", this is my baby sister...just a few weeks away from delivering another sweet nephew. How beautiful is this? |

| I have a strange love of blurry photos, and this one is no exception. Four pieces of new work looking like sherbet. Good enough to eat I tell you. |
Happy end of the week!

Found Goodness
I have passed up many a wooden spool in my day, due to the fact that most of them are super beautiful and great ...but just a bit on the plain side for me. Well, all that changed on Monday, when I spotted these at the Screen Door in Asheville, NC. I just had to bring some home to the studio, and I have plans to use them in a photo shoot before selling them. They are totally Knack in every way, with layers of color and goodness all around. Good dealio.

Hello! I hope you all had a great weekend, and are fresh and ready for a new week! My husband is actually off work today, so we are headed to Asheville for a play day in the mountains. I am excited about a day away to shop, explore, and eat somewhere new and tasty. I hope to do some furniture buying as well......shhhh don't tell the hubs!
While we are talking about furniture, I finished this little beauty last week. This was my last custom job for a while, and I know I said that before but my client "K" talked to me about this piece way before the cut off deadline, and so I squeezed her in when she was ready.
This piece may look a little familiar to you all since she was created after a serious falling in love with "jewel", and I dare say that you will see the resemblance! {wink!} I personally believe that you can never go wrong with this color, and was happy to create some turquoise goodness again.
