weekend plans...

The forecast is calling for sunny skies in the early part of the day tomorrow, which is perfect,

because you will be able to find us here at the 

Detroit Eastern Market

actually right about in this area, between Sheds 2&3

in front of the Welcome Center.

We will have lots and lots of this,

our natural lavender laundry and cleaning provisions

and these,

our lavender soy candles,

can't forget the repurposed art jewelry,

aka: the baubles.

After the market, for the rest of the weekend,

you can find me here...

here

still here,

here,

riding the trails with this guy,

and ending my days here

with the same guy...

and of course taking time from our weekend to remember

the reason for the day...

to honor those who have given the ultimate sacrifice so that we can

do all of the things I mentioned above.

I hope that you have a wonderful weekend,

Happy Memorial Day!

love,

spring cleaning, one room at a time...

Ahhhhhh, it feels so good to have a day to do a 

thorough cleaning, and relax in a clean room.

Those cement legs on my makeshift door table may be my favorite thing in the whole room.

Well, except maybe my little collection of vintage bottles in that beautifully aged toolbox!

Oliver is as happy as the rest of us to have the windows open and let the fresh air inside,

and see how cozy Captain is as he ponders the meaning of life?  

In the photo with Captain, you can see that the sofa covers are on because, well... dogs.

I took them off as I cleaned the room, and sprinkled the sofas with our 

carpet freshener, because, well... dogs.

I left it on for a little while as I did other cleaning, and then vacuumed it up,

The sofas smell so much fresher, they just make the room feel like spring is in the house!

Now that I have one room in the house cleaned, :)

I'm  eager to get outside in the sunshine and put the patio back together.

This photo is from last summer, and I can't wait to get out there

to relax with the family.

Just in case you are thinking that my days are spent

just sprinkling lavender carpet freshener around my house, 

I thought I would give you a peek at one of my 

latest assemblage necklaces.  

you know, because, well, baubles...  :)

Happy Spring!

Painted Farmgirl & Friends...

It's official, I have a booth to call my own in a local brick and mortar!

Welcome to
Painted Farmgirl 

 it's just outside of Grand Rapids, MI.

in the sweet town of Hudsonville. 

You can see my booth from the front door, but stop and look around the front 

area before you grab some of our lavender goodness ;)  because there are so many great signs, pillows, flowers, a booth full of vintage clothes, and fabulous vintage goodness everywhere you look!

My booth isn't large by any means, but it does have enough space for an

abundance of our natural lavender laundry and cleaning products, 

as well as my soldered vintage marbles, soldered initials,

and assemblage art jewelry.

one of the assemblage art pieces you can find at 

Painted Farmgirl...

Let's not forget the power of lavender...

I use our lavender linen and room spray for more than just our beds

 and to naturally freshen the air in our home...

My TaDa list was full today,

so I spritzed myself and my work area

with our lavender linen and room spray,

and it helped to keep me calm, relaxed, and focused

(well, mostly focused, let's not push it!)

So if you have a long TaDa list like I do,

head on over to the shop and pick yourself up a bottle!

And while you're there, meander around the shop.  It's has rooms & rooms

full of fabulous jewelry,  Maison Blanche chalk paint, vintage inspired clothing, beautifully painted furniture,

handpainted signs, the most luscious soaps & bath bombs, 

and vintage treasures from one end to the other!

I am beyond thrilled to be part of the Painted Farmgirl Family!

On top of the excitement of having my first booth in the shop,

you will be able to find me at the 

Painted Farmgirl Flea

on May14, at the Hudsonville Fairgrounds!

Have a fantastic weekend!

love,

it's show time!

The Vintage Green Antiques store in Grand Haven, MI. 

is our first official show of the season, 

and I am pretty excited to make my way to one of my 

favorite MI. cities!

        

I will have our space full of our lavender goodness of course...

perfect timing for all of your spring cleaning needs!

Let's not forget about the baubles...

perfect for all of those spring birthday gifts you may be on the look out for!

I'm having a little love affair with the vintage buffalo/Indian head coins 

I now have in my stash... they give a soulfulness to everything I add them to.

Plus I will have my soldered marbles, a fan favorite!

Another fan favorite is our new diffuser pendants, 

complete with a vial of our French Grosso Lavender oil.

Perfect for those days when you need to 

have a bit of aromatherapy for peace and calming

at your disposal.

I have those days, don't you?

I just love these necklaces, each one had a bead or dangling from the locket,

and they handle the request that many 

of my customers have said about our sachets...

"I wish I could just smell this all day"

well, now you can!

I hope to see you at the Pop-UP shop!
