Nautical Loveliness

Hello friends...I'm back!

Well sort of.....I left New York on Saturday and by the the time I got home, I was feeling the effects of a full blown chest cold.

What started as a little throat tickle eventually knocked me off my feed.

Unable to take it easy due to so many catch-up errands to be done, I fear I made it worse.

Just glad I was not sick until after I finished caring for my Mom.

My Mom a few days after surgery...she is amazing!

Thank you for all the well wishes that were sent her way.

The Oncologist gave her a clean bill of health and we are happy to report that no more cancer cells were found in any of the biopsies.

So I had hinted at a treasure my sister Maddy gave me while in NY.

Isn't she gorgeous??

She is a very large and has a beautiful turquoise patina. 

I think she is magnificent and would look great adorning a beach house in the Hamptons or the Outer Banks.

Maddy's husband owns a cleaning company and once in a while he is given some very cool things by the homeowners.

This was one such giveaway.

My sister had no interest in Schooners and stuck it in her garden, where it has sat for a few years.

She actually offered it to me a while back, but I had no room in  my car.

This trip I made room!

I just adore her......oh, and Maddy's pretty cute too.

;->

Now I am trying to put a value on her (the weathervane, not Maddy). Anyone out there have some weathervane knowledge?

Looks like I have some research to do.

Remember this old vanity I refurbished for my Fox Den shop?

I painted it with the intention of using it as a shop display desk.

Well apparently a few others like it also...I could have sold it twice while I was in NY.

I had to say NO because I had no place to put all the items sitting on it and I was still out of town. 

Now that I am back, I can bring in a replacement table and sell this beauty.

I have added some of my pretty and very useful vintage linen tote bags.

Love the roses on this bag.

Along with some laminated cotton bags which are great for summer fun.

I have made some sales and I am realizing I probably need a bigger space.

I guess that's a good problem.

I have more creativeness in the works..so do come visit again.

Until next time...be kind and stay creative.
