Guess who’s back….. (all of these pieces were sold at the show)

It feels like it’s been so long since I’ve posted anything.  In-between working on stuff for the Art Show (yes, I will have a booth in the Havre de Grace Art show August 16, 17, & 18 – mark your calendars!!)  and doing a few custom jobs, our entire family got hit big time with a stomach virus.  NOT fun, and I hope that we do not have to go through that again for a LONG time!  Anyhoo, I wanted to share a few pieces at a time that I will have available at the Art Show.  I know it’s still a couple months away, but it will take time to fill a booth!  Have I mentioned how excited I am to be a part of it?!

So – here are the first couple of pieces!

Black Painted Corner Hutch $150 – SOLD

This hutch is very solid & well made – has 3 shelves with grooves for plates on them, and a cabinet at the bottom.  I painted it black, and then sanded the edges to distress it a little.  The back is painted green, with a black glaze on top – & look at those cute new hand painted knobs I found at Pier 1!  It measures 76 inches high 24 inches deep, and the face is 34 inches across.

Mud Auction

I went to my first “mud auction” yesterday in Lancaster County, PA.  There are huge tents full of tools, furniture, crafts, you name it.  They auction off hand-made Amish quilts, have trailers filled with plants, flowers, and shrubs.

I had a blast & rescued this little gem.  My mom thought I was a bit crazy for bidding on it, but just wait till it’s done!  It is screaming for my help, don’t you think??  I can’t wait to get rid of those pink diamonds – it’s going to be so cute!!
