Anyone who has kids in elementary school knows how crazy the month of May can be. Teacher appreciation week...field day...5th grade pool party. The list goes on. I also volunteered to help a teacher decorate for her Mother's Day Tea in Kindergarten. I had a blast shopping and planning the decor...
 |
| centerpieces |
 |
| corsages for the moms |
The corsage flowers are felt and the centerpiece flowers are tissue paper. My mom and I had a lovely time putting them together the past two evenings. I love that we can sit and work on something while laughing hysterically. My mom always told me that she remembered laughing so hard with her mother, I love that we do the same thing.
Then there were signs to be made...
And furniture to paint...
 |
| There are always furniture pieces for me to paint!... |
I still smile to myself every time I realize that doing something I love so much is my job! Creativity is encouraged and I am free to create as I please. It just doesn't get any better :)

| Me going to work... |
 |
| My work shoes... |
On Saturday my mom & bestie went into H-Town for the Urban Market. I had ordered a bed from
Holly Mathis so she was bringing it there for me to pick up. I was so excited about meeting her....probably talked a mile a minute and even asked to have my picture taken with her. She was as sweet in person as she comes across on her
blog.
Then we shopped...here are a few things I picked up at Urban Market:
 |
| grain sack from Hungary... |
 |
| babies asleep in their new bed... |
 |
| loving this dog bed from Holly Mathis... |
 |
| Preserved boxwood wreath... |
 |
| Old wooden chippy base for a cloche... |
So that's what I've been up to all week. How about you? Tell me what you've been up to!
Wonderful Mother's Day gifts for the kiddies. And I love the dog bed! Love your work boots too! I would love to find a grain sack like that. I never seem to come across any of those. Just lovely photos ♥
ReplyDeleteI found some wonderful items on Craig's List so I've been collecting! And there is always painting for me to do too!
I just now finished painting a church pew that pastor friend gave us a few years ago. I used exterior so I can use it on my porch. :) I love all of your new finds.
ReplyDeleteLove all of your new finds! That dog bed is wonderful!!! I really wish I could find a nicer one for my dog. Wish I lived near there to get to shop that market. Looks like you had a great time!
ReplyDeleteThat tiny doggie bed is adorable! As I'm sure if I had one, I'd find my 3 yr old laying in it, as she does her doll beds! HA!
ReplyDeleteI wanted to go, but then got lazy and didn't. Let me know if you go in Oct. I would love to meet you! Cutest doggie bed ever!
ReplyDeleteLisa- Will do! We should do a blog meet before then :)
DeleteI'd love that! :)
