SpRiNg

We are enjoying spring! Cookouts, playing on the swingset, Emily picking weeds...I mean "flowers". Tyler's been outside swatting at bees with Emily's plastic bat, and I've been taking pictures of our trees. I love it right now when our trees at the side/back are at their brightest colors. We have two that are bright pink. It doesn't do well with my nose, but I still enjoy them.

I have completed the hoosier cupboard that I have been working hard on to put in the antique shop. It was pretty dirty and dilapidated, so I'm really proud of how it looks in comparison to before! I kept it rustic, but just cleaned it up a lot and put a new top on it. I want to keep it, but I know that it doesn't work that way!!! I have to keep telling myself that it wouldn't fit in my kitchen anyways.

I will try (once again) to keep up with posting. I have been preoccupied with things to do, working on my things to sell, and the kids and life in general. If I had high speed internet, I might be up for doing this more often. One of these days.....!

Something New

So, I had a few pictures uploaded on this post, and as I was writing I accidentally deleted them. I don't want to go back and try to get them on. Anyways, you may have noticed that I have not posted for a few weeks! I've been bad at keeping up with it. A couple weeks ago I decided to start selling antiques at a shop in Peru (Indiana, for those of you not from around here! Ha!) Kelli started selling there and told me about it...I went to see it a couple Fridays ago and immediately wanted to start! I have wanted to do this for a while, and am going to give it a shot. I have been living in my laundry room(fixing,painting, staining), dining room(pricing things and stashing
everything in the corner), and the garage (FIXING things). Right now in the garage is a great old chippy white hoosier cupboard among other furniture. Can't wait till that's done! My goal is to take the first load to the shop this weekend. Here's the website if you want to take a look at where I'll be. http://thefarriswheel.net/default.aspx

Tyler's been very good about me taking over the garage and he thinks it's great that I'm trying something! He's helped out a lot while I am out working on stuff, switched his day off a couple weeks ago so I could go to an auction, and has been patient with my questions, "what do you think I should price this?" Emily likes to help choose paint colors for things, and this is what Lucy thinks:

Well, next time I will try to post a few pictures of some of my completed pieces, and hopefully I can do it without deleting them!
