Clarinda Open House Next Weekend Oct. 4 and 5

I am having my fall open house 302 S. 15th in Clarinda October 4 and 5, this is my little photo sampler of a few things I have ready to sell there. Being completely out of control, as usual, I will fill the house with antiques and my crafty wares, now all I need are the customers!

Before and After

Blame it on Alice--I picked up a Jeanne d'Arc Living magazine at Alice's Wonderland in Mt. Vernon (wonderful antique and bead shop, the girls love going there) and I am on such a paint everything white kick. I just love the results and I took some before pics this time. This stuff started out UGLY, they are so enjoying their makeovers!

And here's one more, the mustard dough bowl before and after, not so ugly before but certainly gorgeous after!

Mustard Milk Paint

Finally got another thing crossed off my to do list, mustards are done! 3 million projects to go...

From Black to White

Here are some things on the way to ebay with a lighter look... (pillows just got a new photo session)

More Tins and a Sale

I can't believe I only have a few weeks to prepare for my fall open house, this unrelenting heat has just made thoughts of fall seem impossible. I have more Halloween tins ready, love these the most, I used old spice tins and some really great old photos. I did some larger tins as well. In the meantime, shop is overflowing, so I put some things on sale, they should be showing up as marked down some time this evening.

Tins and More Tins

I am still in photo overload, love the new ones even more than the first I did....I am finishing some more with the old Halloween costume photos, they are adorable!

And Yet More Stuff!

Well, I just keep plugging away at my pile of stuff to prim up, this is what I got done this weekend....as you see, it is Halloween, NO, it's Christmas, No, it's Halloween......
