Long time no post

Hi bloggers, such a long time since I posted last. a lot has been going on in our lives.
The most important is my hubby is very sick so I've been taking time off work to spend my time with him. Its bitter sweet. We could use all the prayers we could get right now.
On another note my son got a transfer to be closer to home. He will be moving to Washington very soon so I get to see my Grand babies much more often. They grow up so fast.
They are in the process of trying to buy their first home and have decided on Farm style as their decor.
 So of course I had to help them out. With the help of Pinterest I made a few new things for their place.

Can't wait to see them all. Hope your having a Good summer!!!!

Antique Tin Type and Coin Purse Necklaces

 With Mothers day around the corner I thought

Hope your all getting some creative time in 

while waiting for things to warm up!!

Bunny Cart

I recently came across the sweetest vintage Bunny pulling a cart.

It was in pretty bad shape though. I had to add new fuzz to the bunny,

paint the cart and I decorated the inside

with this darling vintage chick with hat

This is a OOAK and available in my Etsy shop.
