Holidays and big events always seem to get here sooner than you think they will,
or at least they do for me.
I had so many ideas for projects for July 4th.
These barnwood and beadboard flags are finished up just in time.
Today my husband and I celebrate our 7th wedding anniversary!
It has been quite the ride so far.
He took this beach girl from a condo across the street from the ocean in South Florida
to the base of the Blue Ridge mountains in upstate South Carolina.
I miss the ocean terribly and hopefully we'll move back to it one day...
...but for now, I'm a country girl.
This country girl has been learning how to grow a garden these past few years.
I started a 4'x4' raised bed container garden 5 years ago
and each year since I've added more raised beds,
but this year we decided to grow a traditional row garden.
I mentioned earlier this week that I worked on a little white cabinet to put in my booth
and here it is.
This past week was super busy sorting and cleaning all of the treasures that I brought home from the 90 mile yard sale my mother and I went to last weekend.
I'm proud to say that I have organized and cleaned everything.
The items that I purchased for my Etsy shop are listed (some have sold!)
and the items I purchased for my new booth space are displayed there.
Here are a few of the pieces that I added to my Etsy shop.
During a trip to Hobby Lobby this week, I spotted this ready made burlap pennant banner.
It was 1/2 off, so I purchased it.
You can easily make any kind of banner you would like.
I decided to make a patriotic banner to add to my window booth space.
Now that I have my new window booth space to keep full,
I've been making more of an effort to frequent flea markets.
Recently, I found this cool vintage seed sorter.
It is a perfect combination of weathered wood, rust and galvanized metal.
As soon as I saw it I thought it would make a unique magnetic memo board.
