Happy June my friends!

Can you believe it's already summertime?

I've been busier than ever,

and it's all been great!

A week ago I flew up to get my

5 year old grandson from Michigan.

He stayed with us for 8 days.

Here is is making me breakfast!

I just love my little honey pot :-)

We hit Magic Kingdom, Sea World two times,

countless hours of swimming, some shopping,

and, of course, he needed to use ALL of my

tuppeware for gecko habitats.. hehe!

So sad to see him go back home to Michigan,

especially every night when tucking him in

he'd turn to me and say, "Love you Punkin''..

Ahh.. I miss him..

I do have some exciting news to share with ya'll.

Kathy of Vintage Finds Magazine

featured me in her June 2013 issue!

She met me up at my booth in Traditions Antique Mall

and then followed me back to my new house to 

take some pictures..

Yep... I said it..

My NEW HOUSE!

Yay!! Mr. Ruffles and I are now proud homeowners!!

I'm SOOO beyond happy, it's insane! LOL

It's pretty awesome, and quite an honor,

that Kathy wanted to feature my home in  her magazine.

My dining room:

If you see the magazine displayed at your favorite 

antique mall, make sure you pick up a copy

and check it out!

Thankyou Kathy, you did an outstanding job!!

I also finally got around to painting the

table my grandmother gave to me before 

she passed away a couple of years ago.

I love how it turned out.

We use it on our new sunroom

in our new HOME!!

(I can't stop saying that! LOL)

Table before and after:

And, here's a couple of pics I took

of our dining room..

home!

New Mantel For Me & Booth Pix

I did some "fluffing" in my booth

at Traditions Antique Mall in Wildwood, FL;

and wanted to share some pictures with ya'll:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I took an old wooden gate

with white chippy paint on it,

and added 3 dozen roses..

 

I attached them upside down so

they will dry properly.

 

My booth smelled wonderful with

the scent of fresh roses for a couple of days!

 

 

 

 

 

 

The dresser on the left sold over the weekend.. yay!

 

 

 

 

Traditions Antique Mall, where my booth

is located, is having an outside fair

with many vendors selling their "wares" outside.

 

I will be there, for most of the day,

making deals in my booth!

 

So, come on down and say "Hi"

I'd love to meet you!

I also wanted to share with you

my latest find for our house.

 

I can't wait to get started painting this one:

 

 

Be still my heart!

I am in LOVE!!

Fireplace Mantal

Happy Weekend ya'll! Finally!

I say finally because finally Mr. Ruffles

has some extra time to get my finished

projects up in the house..

I'm so excited to show you!!

First is a fireplace mantal I found off

of Craigslist, for only.... $50!

I drove about 45 miles to go get it, once

I got there we tried to fit it inside the back

of my SUV.. but, it wouldn't fit.

Not to worry, I have rope and bungy cords!

I was bound and determined to get this sucker home.

We ended up tying it to the top of my truck:

I had to drive all the way home

on one of the busiest streets in the area

going only about 30 - 35 mph.

(yep, I recieved several honkers

and a coupe middle fingers too!

Didn't care... I was getting it home!)

Here it is, off of the top of my truck

and in the garage ready for me to start:

All sanded down:

And, now.. finally finished and in my home:

LOVE!!

I also wanted to share with you

a couple of pictures of the chandy

I finished. 

It's finally hung up in the dining room:

I hope you're all enjoying your weekend!

For me, it's back to the garage now.

We're cleaning it.. oh fun! NOT!
