This table has the most stunning claw feet. She's been around for awhile with two little grey chairs to accompany her. I've been waiting for a few more mix-matched chairs to add in but they haven't found their way to me quite yet...Still waiting on their arrival. One of these days.



This little project was so fun! I originally got her and was not all that thrilled as she had 3 little hats of leather that were not in good shape. With the help of a chisel and some muscles, she was bare and in need of some vision. What would I put in her 3 naked pannels? What better than a chalkboard? How exciting to write your to-do list on your desk? And even better to wipe them right off post-completion.

Corrie is 30 Flirty and Thriving



Well, she's now in her actual thirties, which makes for 31! It was such a treat to get to celebrate Miss Corrie. This is a true woman of talent. For one, she is a tride and true friend and aint scared to tell you how it is. But, this girl has talent from taking care of dying children in the PICU to jarring her own jelly and pickles, to making homemade mallows, crocheting, bread baking, need I go on? Most of those she has taken the time to teach me how to do, which I just love. Anyhow, Corrie is a lover of all things in the kitchen. She has a knack for cooking and tasting foods to be just right. Corrie requested a painting for her blue bedroom for her birthday and this was her surprise. I especially loved the background which is recipes I tore from my grandmother's cook book. Most of them I tried to shoot for a cajun dish as she is from the deeps of Louisiana and learned most of her cookin from her grandmama there.
Anyhow, it was a real fun giant painting to do and I was pleased as punch to hand it over to her. Its just easy to love Miss Corrie so.
