Creating My Way Into Oblivion

Aside from painting masses of furniture for the upcoming

June 25 Le' Pre'miere Summer Showcase Sale,

I also like to add some of my own personal "flava" to the event.

That's why I generally take about a week before the date

and

Just create my way to oblivion...or insanity...

Not sure there is much of a difference sometimes.

These little lamp shades top two precious bakelite and glass lamps......

Sold separately or together...you decide.

 I'm also doing my best to get a few of the ruffled canvas bags completed....

This would be number 2....,:)

 And a really ambitious project on my part are altered trunks.

I hope to have three completed for the day's sale.

This one's theme is "lost love".

 I like them to look as though they have been stored away in a dirty attic for years.

 The other two will depict a baby theme and also a bridal design.....

or that is the plan :)

There is still alot to do, but I'm having so much fun.

I hope if you are local you can come.....

I promise lots of shade....and cold drinks.

Thanks for stopping by today.

You know I love it when you come.

I'm linking to Feather Your Nest Friday.....

There are wonderful things to see so go on over.



Le' Pre'miere Sea of White......

The "paint fest" continues as I ready for the second

Le' Pre'miere Quarterly Showcase Sale on

June 25th.....

My backyard is full to the brim with pieces of antique and vintage

furniture in various states of completion.

 I feel certain all the mammals will be grateful when all is moved

To the Shoppe as it is slowing down their chasing squirrels......

 But there are also pieces at the Shoppe that are receiving a makeover

For the upcoming event.

This wonderful old china cabinet had it's last chance to be sold in it's original state.

 (Who says I don't save a buck whenever I can?)

 Oops paint at Home Depot is a life saver.....

 I use a dry brush technique so it is easier to distress.....

It takes about  two or three coats, but I like it better than thick primer.

 You put it on, and "knock" a little bit of it off.....

 And the same technique with these antique trunks......

And just a little funky something I'm working on.

The insides to an antique wall clock......

Great as a photo holder...

Thanks for stopping by today,
