It seemed like a mad dash to the dinner bell yesterday when the shipment
of chalk paint came in to the Passionate Home.
Once the cans walk thru the front door, phone calls go out to eager
customers and before you know it there is a store full of ppl
lined up for their back order.
I was among the eager and got to heard about many projects ideas that will be
started this weekend with ASCP.
While there I spied some other beautiful things to share with you.
I am in love with this chair, or I was fully in love with it till it measured
3/4 of an inch too big for my space.
Here is another cutie with great accessories.
But my favorite is Elinors stockings with hand sewn pearls
Did you hear me ... she sews each pearl by hand!
Hope
Isnt this where we started?

THINGS I FIND INSIDE FUNITURE ladies french kneehole desk

Sabtu, 16 April 2016

Every now and then something unusual shows up inside my furniture projects.
Like these curtain rods below. Now when I say inside I dont mean in a drawer,
I mean behind the drawers inside the cabinet somewhere.
Really ... how do curtain rods get inside a dresser?
If you know dont tell me it was a retorical question.
Ive found a few Aussie coins and recently a 1965 German Schilling.
I dont assume they will make me rich but they do add interest to the projects.
Another interesting find was the post card dated 1919
but more often then not its just someones missing puzzle pieces,
their discarded matches, a forgotten key, and quite often old receipts.
This one is dated 1976 and its from England.
They seem to be quite polite when
dealing with overdue accounts, it actually says
"Fearing your account has escaped your
notice, we venture to ask the favor of
a remittance within the course of a
few days"
That was awfully nice of them!
Well now back to the project of the day ...
I know a few of you might be getting excited with these sneaky partial pictures,
but please dont get overwhelmed there is bad news coming.
A drawer that has dove tails on the back as well as the front.
Amazing what several hundreds of dollars can buy you huh?
Yes I spent a great deal more than I am use to on this one, but its worth every penny in the end.
She even had a couple of surprises inside for me to find.
2 Golden Key Furniture Keys
Im delighted with that little find, but now the trick will be to find a lock they will open. 
Now for the bad news ...
This magnificent, over the top, gorgeous french desk (deep breath)
is already spoken for, but you can see a side by side before and after pic here.
I know that doesnt make up for it, Im a bad bad person for teasing you.

15 Things

Jumat, 01 April 2016

Hello!  Not too long ago, I was asked to share 15 random things about myself.  To be honest, I wasnt convinced anyone would be interested in knowing 15 random things about me.  But I do really enjoy reading little personal tidbits about other bloggers so I thought, why not!  Here goes......
1.  I love dessert.  As in cupcakes.  As in frosting.  I will buy a half dozen cupcakes and have them gone by the next day.   I often consider giving up sugar, but who am I kidding.
2.  One of my most embarrassing married moments was my husband finding a 9 months pregnant me sitting in front of an open freezer at midnight using a giant serving spoon to shovel ice cream into my mouth.  In my defense, it was June and the weather was hot. :)
3.  My husband delivered two of our children.  The experience is something I will cherish forever.
4.  Another one of my most embarrassing moments (I have lots of them) was in college.  While marching in the University band at a televised college football game, my uniform pants got caught on the sideline fence while taking the field for the pre-game show, completely ripping from the waist down.  Having a drill sergeant type scary band director, I opted to just keep going instead of run off the field breaking formation and facing his wrath, and do my best to ignore the fact that my behind was exposed to a million people while my pant leg flapped in the breeze.  If that wasnt exciting enough, my replacement pants they gave me afterward were 6 sizes too big and dropped to my ankles during the half time show while I tried to balance holding them up with one hand and a piccolo with the other.  Did I mention it was televised?  In front of a million people?
5.  I am loving this stuff right now.  It smells like chocolate cupcakes and possibly explains number 1 above.
6.  I have been blessed with very compassionate boys.  I am so proud of their hearts.
7.  Starting a blog terrified me because I was afraid of putting myself out there and I wasnt sure I had anything to offer the blog world.
8.  I love this girl.  She has been such an inspiration to me!
9.  Because we are such a busy family with crazy schedules and older children in sports, we hardly ever eat at the dinner table as a family.  Something I would love to change.  But carving out a time when we are all home together is difficult.
10.  My most favorite thing to do in the world is spend time with my husband and kids.  Even if its just watching TV.
11.   I 100% believe that you should go for your dreams, whatever they may be.
12.  I love watching cartoons with my youngest.  Franklin anyone?
13.  I love the people I have e-met since blogging and consider it one of the biggest blessings of being a blogger.
14.  Another one of my favorite things to do, that I do without fail every night, is watch The Golden Girls after hubby falls asleep.
15.  One of my favorite memories with my step daughter is watching Brian Regans comedy act about the styrofoam ball solar system science fair project and laughing forever.  "The big yellow ones the sun!" 
So, thats it.  A little bit of me.  Hope you enjoyed!
