<br />
I've noticed a change. <br />
<br />
I'm not feeling it anymore.<br />
<br />
I used to be excited to hunt for things, give them a new life, and help them find a new home. After I graduated from school, I thought it would go right back to being how it was. But so far, it hasn't.<br />
<br />
My perspective on life is that it is short. Too short, in fact, to force something that doesn't fit anymore.<br />
<br />
So, I'm making some changes. Re-structuring.<br />
<br />
I will close my shop as it is in its current location. In the future, I will offer amazing finds through my blog, online shop, and shows. <br />
<br />
I'm hoping this will give me more flexibility to pursue the things that I really feel a passion for.<br />
<br />
The good news is, I'll be having an amazing "Moving Sale"!<br />
<br />
I need to clear out much of my current inventory.<br />
<br />
So here's the plan: <br />
<br />
July 20th & 21st- 15% off everything<br />
<div dir="ltr">
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br />
July 27th & 28th- 20% off all smalls, 15% off furniture</div>
<div dir="ltr">
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
August 3rd & 4th- 30% off all smalls, 20% off furniture</div>
<div dir="ltr">
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
August 10th & 11th- 40% off all smalls, 25% off all furniture</div>
<div dir="ltr">
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
August 17th & 18th- 50% off all smalls, 30% off all furniture</div>
<div dir="ltr">
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
August 25th & 25th- 60% off all smalls, 35% off all furniture + GARAGE SALE</div>
<div dir="ltr">
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
After that, I'll continue to mark things down until everything is gone!</div>
<div dir="ltr">
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
*I won't be offering Layaway or Holds, so bring a truck! </div>
<div dir="ltr">
*I'll be bring in new items from the basement and storage until everything is GONE.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
I want to thank everyone for their support of my business throughout the years! </div>
<div dir="ltr">
</div>

I buy a lot of old books, and found one at a thrift shop in a small town close to where I live in Idaho. It had yellowed pages, perfect to deconstruct and use for projects. I was looking through the pages, and curiously, I found that throughout the book, certain words had been blotted out with White-Out. It seemed like a young adults book from the 40's, I wondered which words could have been so naughty that someone had taken the time to go thorough the book and white-out every one. I used my fingernail to scrape off some of the words: Gosh, gee, geez, and golly were all on the list of unacceptable.<br />
<br />
I just laughed and thought of the small town with conservative values and pictured the previous owner of the book (or perhaps a well-meaning parent of the owner). Have any of you junkers ever encountered anything like this??<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
BUT, they eat <em>everything</em></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so my garden was dug up</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
baby corn plants, peas, tiny cabbages, and other plants disappeared</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
oh, and they poop on <em>everything</em></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so i've been working on a design for a new chicken coop</div>

LT wasn't as excited about my plans as I was</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><em>"flower pots? really?"</em></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i would like to use mostly salvaged/vintage materials for this chicken coop</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
a little 6x6 chicken house, with a 6x6 run</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
compost bins in the front</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
a nesting box, with rusty corrugated metal roof!, and a place to roost</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i feel a little guilty cooping them up, but we can always let them out</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
when it is safe for our garden</div>

this year, my tree didn't stay decorated.</div>

about new starts, decisions, and the future.</div>

I'm so pleased with how this turned out, I just have to share :)</div>
<div align="center">

<div align="center">
I have had this old glider sitting on the porch at Abigail's all summer. I found it at an estate sale a while ago, and have been using it for summer days on the porch.</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
Yesterday, I decided to paint it. I didn't have many good colors in my paint stash, so I made my own color. I had a pretty ugly light moss green. You know, the color that was hot about 10 years ago, but now, not so much. I also found a really painfully bright turquoise. I mixed the two....using the lighter green as a base, and added the turquoise a bit at a time.</div>

</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">This canvas started out as an ugly painting. I pick them up when I see them for cheap. If I can buy it for $1 or $2 it's cheaper than buying a new canvas.

</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">I used yellowed vintage sheet music, old book pages, ledger paper, and a cancelled 1950s check from the Idaho-Utah Sugar Co.

</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">I was going for a theme, so I chose sheet music with songs like "Memphis County Jail Blues" and other related songs.

</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">I used Mod Podge with a matte finish to cover the canvas with the vintage ephemera.

My kids love it. We actually have plenty of room for everyone here. Our other house was so small. </div></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">With the big increase in space, you would think I'd be having a great time decorating.</div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><em>Not so.</em></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">I haven't even had time to <span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">think about it</span> because I've been so busy with grad school.</div></div><div style="text-align: center;">I have lots of great ideas, tons of things to <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>decorate</strong></span> with (hello. I have a store, right?)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">So, I want to spend some time working on it this summer :)</div><div style="text-align: center;">My bedroom is a good size. I have some basic furniture that I've painted.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I like to keep it neutral because I find <span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">shades of white</span> relaxing.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">So, here it is. This is my bedroom.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Right now it is pretty blah. Not horrible, but pretty boring.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I just made the branch/bird mobile sculpture for the At Home in SouthEast Idaho Magazine Challenge.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">I have some projects that I'd like to do in this room.</div></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: center;"><br />

It makes the room seem larger, reflects light all over the place, and adds character and interest. Plus I have some FANTASTIC vintage mirrors I've been saving for *something*. </em></div><div style="text-align: center;">3. <span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Bench re-do.</span> <em>I found an upholstered bench at a yard sale for $5. The lines on it are divine, but the upholstery is not so much. It just needs a slip-cover. Again, I have some ideas.</em></div><div style="text-align: center;">4. <span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">New light fixture</span>. <em>Did you check out the ugly globe light? Oh my. Yes, that definately needs to go.</em></div><div style="text-align: center;">5. <span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Pillows.</span> <em>I know how to sew, and there are so many great ideas out there. I didn't realize how boring my pillows were until I was taking these photos. They are comfy down, however.</em></div><div style="text-align: center;">6. <span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Pop o' Color.</span> <em>I would like a little bit of color. That can be changed. You know, when I get sick of it. Maybe with the season or holiday. Like pillows or other accessories.</em><br />

<br />
Luckily, I know a handsome welder who was willing to design an adaptive bed-rail to turn my antique full size iron bed into a queen.<br />
<br />
I talked him into making them available to my customers :)<br />
The introductory price for custom made queen size bed-rails is $75<br />
So if you have a full size antique bed (even if it has no rails at all), these rails will adapt it to a queen size (it also has a middle support bar).<br />
Full size rails are $50<br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;">*please note, all rails are made by a professional welder and guaranteed</span><br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;">*headboard and footboard are not re-sized, just the rails, which looks great most of the time</span><br />
