It sure didn't take long for me to mess up the studio again! I've had a fun project in the works, actually a couple of them, that I can't wait to tell you about. I'll get to spill the beans soon, but not quite yet.
During the studio tour, someone asked to see a close up of this table that I have a box full of ribbons sitting on. The veneer on the table was peeling up, so I covered it in textured, paintable wallpaper (not vintage, available at many home decor stores). I then painted and glazed the whole table and the wallpaper to match.
When I cleaned up the studio to get photos for the tour, I thought this bowl tucked away under a small table would be a good place to store lace and trims. Twinkle seems to agree with me… but I might need to rethink this plan.
Although, this is her favorite place to relax. Twinkle has decided that with the heat that Kansas has to offer this year, the lake is the best spot to tolerate it.
Dixie and Daisy, my sister-in-law's little dogs love it too. Twinkle and Daisy bonded over hunting ducks.
Mostly, the garage sales I've been to lately have not been worth the effort to get up early. But I did get this little Dorothy dress at one for $1, and Sugarwings loves it so much, she insists on calling Twinkle, "Toto" and wearing the dress over her bathing suit.
I'll leave you with some photos of what I added to the Boutique before we hit the road for Utah.
We will be home over the weekend, all purchases will go out on Monday.
And if you want to sign up for the Faerie Book Swap, please email me, details here. I'll add you to the list when I return.
It does my heart good to know that your studio quickly messed itself up again! Ha ha! Always happens to me! Looking forward to hearing about your secret project!
My heart melts at the sight of little Twinkle in that bowl. Are you planning to let that be her little place? Of course, you might want to replace the lace with another kind of bedding!
Love that table you “fixed” with the textured wallpaper!
Glad you had the sweet find of the Dorothy dress for Sugarwings. Sometimes in the midst of shopping blight you manage to find one special goodie!
Gorgeous shop lovelies!
Linda you are right I should leave that bowl for twinks. I will just move the ribbon elsewhere and get her a pillow for the bowl.
