Mary Alice and Works in Progress


Well, hello there!  How's your week?  Mine is fine... sleepy and a little grouchy actually.  Just thought I would show you a booth update with the newest addition (don't have a before... sorry!)
Meet Mary Alice.  Why Mary Alice?  Well, my paper loving husband found a big stack of love letters to a Miss Mary Alice from a suitor.  He was quite fond of Miss Mary Alice... and it made for a pretty drawer liner once blown up.




So, whoever takes this piece home will have a nice little love letter surprise.  

I took her out with some other goodies to the booth on Friday and fluffed... it doesn't look fabulous, but it still has some fun finds.


A vintage rusty medicine cabinet with a fold down towel bar that I added a frosted cross


A little caddy perfect for picking or growing herbs


Some new tea towels on a rustic ladder


and a vintage birdcage spiffed up with a fun blue and moss... ready to add more small treasures (Mr. Hughes wants me to add a small rubber tiger to it.... so silly.... it needs a ceramic dog!)

I am currently working on:


This buffet and 


This table.... sorry for the bad before photos... only one was mine!

We have halted the stair project and the bedroom.  The bedroom doesn't need a lot... we may have shifted gears.  And, the stairs may still happen soon, but I am in birthday party mode right now and....

POTTY TRAINING! 

 That is right, baby hughes peed on the potty for the very first time Sunday night. Now, it was a complete accident or perfect timing since he is not 2 yet (and I have heard boys are harder to train and they finish later) but sure I will try it.  

oh, and I have started an email list at the booth, so if you would like to be added to the list, let me know and I will get a small newsletter sent out soon.

Bye for now,

  1. That's a sweet little table you are adding to your booth. Your booth looks full of goodies
    and it also looks like you have some big furniture projects underway.
    Having a booth is a never ending job. I work on mine every week and lately things have been moving out rather quickly.

  6. The love letters are so neat, what a great idea! I have a very good friend named Mary Alice so that made me smile extra big. I must have one of your medicine cabinets!!

    And big YAY for Baby Hughes using the potty already. Word of advice from a mom who didn't push it when my son first started showing interest--push it! Push it now. If he's interested, you may as well strike while the iron is hot. It wasn't too difficult, my daughter was 90% trained within 3 days, then the rest came pretty quickly after that. It may seem daunting, I know it was for me, but it isn't too bad at all. You may as well do it now and get it over with!! YAY!! :)

  7. I just love that you're naming your pieces. I actually did that with a few, but the yahoo's around here simply don't get me, *sigh*...

    Hooray for Baby Hughes! He's almost not a baby anymore! :-)

  10. You have the best things - I don't know how you stay so strong and actually sell them! I definately would not be a good shop owner!

    I have two boys and thankfully they caught onto to potty training right away - I wish you luck with that because I have friends who thought that was the most agonizing time. :)

    Can I ask what color blue you use when you paint? It's the prettiest blue ...

    Have a great day! Sarah

  19. Michelle,

    I love the "Mary Alice" side table. Is it still available? I could get lost in your booth looking at all your treasures.

    Your Friend,
