So excited to be part of the next Mamas Happy Market Sept. 9-12. Been working hard to bring some Fall color (and the usual neutrals) to the party. Here's a sneak peek at some of the one-of-a-kind furniture, home decor and vintage accessories.

Live, Work, Create - That’s a motto I can get behind and a small section of a collage I was commissioned to do for a couple of world travelers utilizing original photography, old graphics, maps, sewing patterns and vintage architectural blueprints. So much fun to create!

Busy few months at the Repair Shop. Besides fixing the usual broken drawers, we just added repairing broken antlers, menorahs, and color matching a chunk of wallpaper that had been ripped off by painters tape to our resume!

Pretty in pink! This dark brown dresser got a lovely makeover with Annie Sloan Antoinette and Old White chalk paint to accentuate it’s details. One lucky young lady was happy to claim it from franklinirvingrepair.com known for upcycling outdated/discarded furniture. If you have an old solid piece that needs some repair and/or a refresh give us a shout!

For those with an eye for beauty a Thistle (considered a w**d) by the side of the train tracks in Park Ridge, IL (where our youngest daughter Julia lives) is sight to behold!

After being charged with removing 50 years of grease and grime from the transmission and helping strip the cab of our soon to be work truck (a 1969 International Scout 800) I was dismissed from my duties. So grateful that Michael and Don are such capable truck restorers. She finally has a face!
