Now that I have one room in the house cleaned, :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to relax with the family.</div>

My booth isn't large by any means, but it does have enough space for an</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
abundance of our natural lavender laundry and cleaning products, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Let's not forget the power of lavender...</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I use our lavender linen and room spray for more than just our beds</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and to naturally freshen the air in our home...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My TaDa list was full today,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so I spritzed myself and my work area</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
with our lavender linen and room spray,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and it helped to keep me calm, relaxed, and focused</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(well, mostly focused, let's not push it!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So if you have a long TaDa list like I do,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
head on over to the shop and pick yourself up a bottle!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And while you're there, meander around the shop. It's has rooms & rooms</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
full of fabulous jewelry, Maison Blanche chalk paint, vintage inspired clothing, beautifully painted furniture,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
handpainted signs, the most luscious soaps & bath bombs, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and vintage treasures from one end to the other!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am beyond thrilled to be part of the Painted Farmgirl Family!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On top of the excitement of having my first booth in the shop,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
you will be able to find me at the </div>

Another fan favorite is our new diffuser pendants, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
complete with a vial of our French Grosso Lavender oil.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Perfect for those days when you need to </div>

have a bit of aromatherapy for peace and calming</div>

at your disposal.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I have those days, don't you?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just love these necklaces, each one had a bead or dangling from the locket,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and they handle the request that many </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
of my customers have said about our sachets...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">"I wish I could just smell this all day"</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
well, now you can!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I hope to see you at the Pop-UP shop!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
It's full of the sweetest memories of the sweetest people,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I plan on making more of these...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the price is right, $8.00 for 30 pages, and $1.00 per 10 pages after that.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and it's nice to be able to hold photos in my hand again.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Remember when you took a photo and waited a week for it to arrive?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The beauty of these is that you already know how the pictures</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
turned out, and the book records them according </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to the date that you took the photo, if you want it to.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can create your own book by uploading photos from</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
your facebook page, your instagram page, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
or straight from your phone like I did.<br />

This isn't a paid endorsement by any means.</div>

Chatbooks doesn't even know I'm alive,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just wanted to share with you my sweet book</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that arrived in the mail this weekend, one short week after I ordered it.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Near our home there is a farm where we get our eggs. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's the best kind of old school farm, where the eggs</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
are in the refrigerator and so is the honor system box. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
yes, it still exists.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had no idea that there were sheep on the farm until yesterday, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and I love sheep.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
LOVE.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I mean, look at those faces, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
they are so peaceful, and sweet.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
love.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So this post is just because I love sheep,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and wanted to share these sweet faces with you.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
you're welcome.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
love,</div>

Maybe I should pull out the thesaurus for another word for love.</div>

nope.</div>

(just in case you ever wondered about the name of our business.)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was creating larger assemblage pieces, mixed media collages, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and repurposing discarded treasures, whenever I found time, mostly for our home or for gifts.</div>

Now 3 of them have moved out, and lead great lives of their own, </div>

Since creating our line of natural lavender laundry and cleaning products,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am making products, sewing, making jewelry, answering emails,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
filling out show applications, going to a market a week, meeting so many fantastic people,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and juggling mom life, and although it can be overwhelming at times,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I can't think of anyone that I would want to change places with!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(Unless maybe they were doing all of this while staying organized, and having coffee with their friends!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Creating my jewelry is really my 'art therapy', it makes me slow down, and lets my mind unwind. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's my way of staying connected to the assemblage work that I love, but in tiny form.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I use vintage trinkets, and old costume jewelry, because I am </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
drawn to the stories that they hold. I use the stones that I do because of the organic</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
feel and look they give my pieces.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I use rhinestones, because, well ...their shiny of course! :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I do custom work, when I have time, and sell my OOAK jewelry primarily at the Detroit Eastern Market, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
as well as local shows and markets.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Although I don't have them listed online, if you ever see anything</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
on any of my social media pages that you are interested in, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
please just send me a message and I would be happy put an invoice together for you.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope to see you at a market someday, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and in the meantime, if you would like to see what I'm up to,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
please check my Instagram acct. and FB page, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
where you can see pics on a more regular basis.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(because sometimes I still show how our home is decorated, and family life,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
along with the booth, and new creations!) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

When my friends Kasia and Monica of </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Rustic MAKA</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
asked me to be part of their<span style="color: #cc0000;"> small business</span> giveaway,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I immediately jumped in.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They are committed to a wholesome lifestyle by making natural products themselves,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and by supporting and shopping with makers of natural products,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
such as myself.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This giveaway is HUGE!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
through markets and shows that they have attended,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but many other small businesses that they have fallen in love with.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

the business of going to markets and shows, that it's all I can</div>

It takes a full week to get ready to go to the<a href="http://easternmarket.com/"> <span style="color: #6aa84f;">Detroit Eastern Market</span> </a>most every Saturday.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We went 41 out of 52 Saturdays last year, and aim to do the same this year, as well</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
as going to the<span style="color: #6aa84f;"> </span><a href="http://fultonstreetmarket.org/"><span style="color: #6aa84f;">Grand Rapids Fulton St. Market</span>,</a> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Plus there are of course a few summer shows coming up that I love to do, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so we will be bumping up <span style="text-align: center;">production even more!</span><br />

Cameron graduated from MSU last month!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Oh, I love that boy. His degree is Fisheries and Wildlife, which is so perfect for him, with his love of animals, the outdoors, and him being a talented photographer.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here's a family pic of his big day, minus Danielle because she was in London for school.</div>

Him and Audrey almost immediately moved to Denver to start a new chapter</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
in their lives. She started grad school, and Cam is researching markets right now to sell TOWH in Denver while he looks for a job in his field. We are so excited for them both, and incredibly proud of the two of them and all that they have accomplished already. </div>

Happy Monday!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've had the soldering iron going a lot lately,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and thought I would show how I finished the large (knocker) crazy quilt scrap pendants.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
this is the same one, I left the stitching on the backside, the side that the </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
quilter usually keeps hidden as the flipside because I think her work </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
deserves the spotlight on both sides!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I then hung the pendants with a stack of the sweetest vintage </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
cream and milkglass buttons.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

When I find a stamp that I think will add a little fun to the sachets</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I get a little giddy.... this one definitely did the trick!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So not only do they smell beautiful, but they are just as pretty</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
when you pull them out of your dryer.</div>

Here's a group photo of the knockers and a few other pieces before I added the buttons and chains. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
See how much bigger they are than the quarter? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I LOVE THAT! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They have a great weight to them, and make a gorgeous necklace for layering.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I wore mind with a winter scarf at the market and I loved how it peaked out </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
from the bottom of my infinity scarf.</div>

I don't create my soldered pendants with vintage photos like I used to these days,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(unless I have a commissioned order)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but this boy has a hold on me and when I found the print on fabric that </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I made of him a couple of years ago he immediately was preserved under glass. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I will most likely be sporting him around my neck.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I just love his look of determination.</div>

It's Monday and that usually puts me in a funk with less focus than usual, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but today the iron will once again be hot with a few orders to get done.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So there you have it, a little update on what's on the worktable.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I cleared off the dining room table so that we could once again have meals together,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and have set up shop in the workroom where I belong. </div>

I grabbed most of these photos from my <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Old-White-House/198864406817411">facebook</a> and <a href="http://instagram.com/theoldwhitehouse">instagram</a> pages,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
where it is much quicker and easier for me to share all of the fabulous</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
places we set up our booth and for some of the stories of the</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
wonderful people that we meet.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Also, that's where I post photos of the new jewelry pieces that I'm working on,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so if you hop over to either of those sites you won't miss a thing!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On a side note about my jewelry...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I don't list them on etsy these days. As I tell my customers at the markets,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
by the time I get them finished I am packing them up to go in the booth.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you ever see anything that you would like, please contact me and if I still</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
have it I will make a listing of it just for you!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have sold many pieces straight from the instagram or FB page.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well, that wraps up my summer, I hope you didn't feel bombarded by photos,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but I've missed sharing with you all! </div>

We love coming here, the atmosphere is really amazing with so many</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
wonderful people from every walk of life mingling with each other, shopping for</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
produce and specialty products created by Michigan small business owners. </div>

Traverse City</div>

We only had one day up there, but I will take what I can get :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used Rhonna Designs photo app to really capture the gorgeous sunset </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
that we watched as we sat on a blanket on the beach on the Leelanau Peninsula.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The kids and I spend most days at home </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
either making product or just hanging out, but we have been</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
taking a few days here and there for adventures too.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The zoo has been a favorite and as a family we have been </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to a smallish lake close to home for a little R&R for all.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope that you are having a lovely summer full</div>

I am not someone who can play games on my</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
gadgets, ie. phone, computer, FORGET about xbox, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm happy that I have figured out how to watch the show I want on Netflix.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So no games for me...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but put a design app in front of me and I'm all in!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I enter that blissful space of creating</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that gives me a challenge and sense of accomplishment.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(kind of what playing games does for my kids!)</div>

My favorite go-to app is </div>

Rhonna Designs</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it's my "candy crush" if you will.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have no idea what that game even entails,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
except something to do with crushing candy</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and unless I'm eating it, well, I just don't see the point!</div>

while on the hunt for something special to use in my work.</div>

A few others for me are ~</div>

I have tried to get my items listed as I make them,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but going to the market every week makes that tough.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If ever you see something on the blog or facebook or instagram</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and you are interested in it, please contact me so I can make that happen!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(I hope that you will follow me over to fb and instagram</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
as I have more opportunity to update there more often)</div>

I have struggled with getting the house back together after Christmas.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Where to put everything, and the cleaning, oh the cleaning!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The struggle comes from wanting to have a more minimal look to our home, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and a minimal approach to our life.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So that means edit, edit, edit...</div>

They all make wonderful Valentines gifts for those you love!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Today will be filled with getting the goods</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
ready to go. It's the first day back to school</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
for the kids since Christmas break started!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lots of snow here, and really cold, so I moved a table</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(that is right now full of bauble makings)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
into the living room to work in front of the fireplace and the tv... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and since they left for school</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
it will also be the first time that I have watched something just for me while I work.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
hmmmmm</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
netflix no longer carries Downton Abbey</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so what should I watch?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
suggestions?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
