Getting ready for Junk Salvation or " Painting in the Living Room "

Joe and I went to a sale on Thursday night

That was fun!

No getting up early , we were already in Portland so

that was a plus.

Unfortunately, I must be a morning shopper.

I only found 2 little things to buy.

Luckily , Joe did better. He tagged this gorgeous

sofa table.

It needed a fresh coat of paint.

Around here if it needs painted in Winter

it gets done in the living room

Yesterday I had four pieces getting a makeover

in this

 little

room

I used the Annie Sloan "White" ,

 I know this paint has a high price tag

 but I did paint all 4 pieces and

still have a quarter of a can leftover.

Also , it dries so quickly I can get the painting done

quickly

The table turned out beautiful.

Not a great photo so plan on coming out to

 Junk Salvation

 to see it in person.

 Junk Salvation

show yet.

Fabulous vendors with super awesome one of a kind stuff!

My Etsy store

is coming along slowly.

I should be able to list more items after we

are done with the show

Good things take time , I always say.

Snow and lilacs don't mix

We awoke this morning to this,

 two of our large lilacs were brought down by the heavy

snow.

They actually landed on my car but Joe

had moved them by the time I

ran out to snap a photo

The lilacs are old , from the 1940's when the

little cottage was first built.

We've been slowly trying to remove the

older growth

( they are all as tall as the roofline)

Apparently, Mother Nature

didn't think we were moving quickly enough :)

I am not a big fan of snow.

It is

 lovely

 to watch the big flakes make their way to the ground

but

I like snow when it doesn't stick

I was born and raised in wintery , snowy states

 Minnesota

and

 Wisconsin

There were many mornings waiting for the school bus

in

white out conditions.

Those states do not give in to

snow.

We in Oregon do ...

1" - 2"

on the ground and we are snowbound !

 Since I was "snowbound"

yesterday

I worked on my

new

 little

 shop

b is for bella

on

Etsy

Most of my time was working on the

" Policies "

portion of the shop.

The business side of the business is not

nearly as fun as the

 shopping side.

I did manage to get one item listed.

I have

sooo

much more to list.

If today co-operates and we don't lose power

again

I should have more items listed this evening.

Be sure to check back.
