ooh la la

and the painting continues. this time ... inspired by paris!


after piecing these two pieces of wood together and painting them an amazing aqua blue, this piece was crying out to have the effiel tower painted on it.


these two pieces of wood are especially amazing and the aqua color just makes all the imperfections truly special.


have the perfect spot for this piece in your home? well, i'm super excited to announce that my etsy shop will open this wednesday morning at 10am EST. woot! woot!



i'll have two flavors of homemade jam. some beautiful wrapped bakers twine. and of course my hand painted signs. as for the signs there is only one of each, so once it's gone, it's gone. i'll have some more information, the link to the shoppe and a couple more signs to show you  tomorrow.

happy monday!

(oh - and the little stools in the photos are seriously the cutest things! there are three of them (these are the smaller of the three. they are for sale in my gift shoppe. love them!)

  16. Oh for Pete's sake, that sign is gorgeous! Aqua is my FAVORITE color! I hate mornings, but now I am going to have to set three alarms to get my keister out of bed so I can shop your Etsy store when it opens Wednesday morning; I certainly hope you are happy causing my lack of sleep!

    Ok, are you going to be selling those darling benches in your Esty store as well? I collect benches (among many other things), and there does not appear there is a way to browse your B&B's gift shoppe online to buy those. Please advise.

    Best,

    Kimberly
