Ten years ago, when I found out I was going to have a daughter, I wasn't sure what to think. My son was nine years old, and I wasn't planning on having any more children. Well, that little girl has changed my life so much, for the better. She's so much fun to be with, and we share so many interests.
Here are some photos of a studio she put in the corner of the living room, opposite my studio...This is one of the most well-utilized rooms ever!
Ever since I was a little girl, I've loved to rearrange my furniture and my "stuff"...Still doing that, and here are some photos I took after my most recent decorating adventure:
Also, "Silvie" says "Meow"...Until next time, Katie
Hi all...I will be attending this event. I will be going to the Girls' Night Out portion of the event...It sounds like a lot of fun, and you get to see all the wonderful vintage goodies before everyone else!
If you can make it, it sounds like it will be worth going to, either Friday night or Saturday...Take care until next time, Katie.
After seeing the Barn House Boys' home, I was inspired to give my bathroom a makeover, until I have the time, energy and resources to remodel it. Here it is:
Last weekend I had the opportunity to finally attend a Barn House sale. I'd been wanting to do so for a long time, but didn't feel like doing all that driving...I ended up going with Timi Weathers, who had the brilliant idea to charter a bus and take a bunch of gals on this adventure.
Timi did a great job. I felt like I was really pampered that day...Lovely food/drinks all along the way, great shopping, prizes and great company. We were even given a luncheon that was out of this world, and a private tour of the Barn House Boys' home,which for me, was the highlight of the trip. The Barn House sale really lived up to my expectations. There are so many talented artists involved in this show, it's really impressive.
Here are a few shots from BH: (My next post will be about my BH inspired bathroom makeover!)
With my son off to college, and no longer having poker parties in our playhouse, my daughter and niece have decided to give the playhouse a little makeover:
I discovered my love for beautiful fabric and sewing about nine years ago. I especially love fabrics with a vintage style. I also love to chat with people, so sewing and doing shows and festivals is a good combination for me. Here are a couple of photos of one of the festivals I did this past July:
Some of the things I make include: Headbands, baby bibs, baby blankets, aprons for kids and adults, pillows and lavender-filled sachets. You can see some of my things at: http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5716745
I'm really looking forward to this antiquing trip: http://www.comejunkwithus.com/
this Saturday, September 12th...I've wanted to attend a Barn House Boys event for some time now, but haven't felt like doing all that driving...This is the perfect solution! If you live in the Seattle/Tacoma, Snohomish area, "come junk with us!"...See you there, I hope...Katie
PS I'm sorry for the recent neglect of my blog posts...Summer has been full, with little time for blogging, but school starts this week, and I hope to be posting more regularly. Thanks for your patience, Katie.
I love decorating, creating, re-arranging, treasure hunting, etc. but I know that people are more important than things, no matter how nice the things are...Here's a photo of me and one of my longtime girlfriends...Love ya, Julie!...Katie (I'm on the left)
These are things I have that are from my Dad, who passed away a year and a half ago...A doll and a chalkware figurine that belonged to his mother, and a photo of where he was raised until the age of seven (A ranger's cabin on Mt. Spokane). These things are so special to me...They make me feel like I still have part of my Dad with me. Thanks for stopping by...Katie
