what's in your toolbox?



Why pumpkins of course!

2 more days of busy, busy, business!

My agenda for the day?

Too scary to look at all at once...
(so I just peek at the chalkboard, through my fingers, with one eye shut!)

Have a fabulous day!

love,
Theresa xoxo

thought for the day...



As I spend my day painting everything that is not bolted down around here,
with the chalk paint recipe provided by
Carole from the fabulous blog Maynard Greenhouse a few weeks ago, 
this will be in my head.
I am outside and although working like crazy,
I am taking in the beautiful fall day that has been 
gifted to us here in Michigan.
The colors are spectacular and the warm breeze is very welcome while I paint!

I got the kids off to school and then Duane and I went on our daily bike ride, and
I am finishing up my lunch of a peanut butter, apple, honey sandwich ~
my new favorite.

life. is. good.

I hope you are able to take the time to really live today.

love,
Theresa xoxo

keeping busy...


I have been gearing up for my favorite show on October 15 and 16
at
Jill Albert's Centennial Farm
Antique Harvest Festival
4410 W. Howe Rd.  Dewitt, MI.
To be honest, I don't do many
but this one is and always will be my favorite!










This was my space last June.
It's fun to see it and the things that I was making back then.
This time it will be focused on the upcoming holidays.

I know each of you would love Jill's home and property.
It is the kind of place that makes you
want to slow down and take it all in.

Her home is featured in the latest issue of
Vintage and Victorian

I just love her porch.


This is a better view of the inside of the hay barn that I set up in.
She painted the inside white and hung gorgeous lighting throughout!
It's amazing what a little white paint will do isn't it?  :)
I would live in here.  in. a. heart. beat....



This is the grainery, she will have a vendor in here too,
plus more on the lawn.
I would live in here too.


A girl after my own heart...
a chandelier dripping from a tree outside.

So you can see, I have a lot to do...
paint furniture, sew, sew, sew
and solder, solder, solder.

and then when something shiny catches my attention...
make that too!

I better get back to the work table, but I just had to stop for a minute and say hello!


Happy Wednesday!

love,
Theresa xoxo
