Painting My World Beautiful

Hi Friends

Thank you for taking the time to stop by for a looksy

Things have been buzzing around The Vintage Pearl

I have some finished projects and a hole lotta projects still in progress

Here are a few pictures of whats going on in my world

 I finished this little bench today

I think it would be great in a bathroom or kids room.

 I picked this solid wood octagon side table up from Good Will the last time I visited the kids

 My plan is to paint the bottom black satin and finish the top with a distressed blue

 I found these lights laying by someones trash can last night

When I yelled pull over my DH just rolled his eyes

I guess he just don't see what I see

Finished Project

 This one has a way to go

 It was starting to look really messy around here

I had to organize and put away some things

I'm hoping for rain tomorrow

 Here are a few pics of the inside of the The Vintage Pearl retail area

 I haven't found  the glass shelves for my china cabinet yet

I think they are in a storage building in Schulenburg

I hope so?

  Yada is minding the shop for me

She is wondering where are all the shoppers

 The surf board coffee table is sold

I'm just waiting for my client to find room for it

Will that's all for now until next time

Stay cool and pray for rain

Ahoy

Ahoy Shipmates!

How is your summer going?

I hope your finding some time to enjoy these long summer days.

It's been busy around The Vintage Pearl

I had a garage sale this weekend so I decided to open the doors to the studio as will.

It was amazing!

There was alot of  foot traffic and I got the chance to let people know that I'm here

I tryed to work on a few pieces of furniture during the slow times

but didn't get much done.

Here are few pictures of what I'm working on

My neighbor gave me this old dresser last week

at first I tryed to give it away at my garage sale but no one wanted it

so i decided to do something with it

I picked this little table up at a garage sale the last time I was visiting the kids

The dresser has a huge mirror to go with it

I'm thinking about adding drift wood to the mirror

That should make it look really beachy 

I'll post pictures of the finished product in a few days so check back

until then I will be spending time in the studio working on all kinds of stuff.

Today's Project

Hi Friends,

Here is my coffee table project that I'm working on today.

It didn't sell at the Round Top sale in it original state so I decided to paint it

and try to make it look like a surf broad

 I still have to put a finish on it and then it will be ready for the studio

 Here are a few new things in the studio

Will that's it for today. I've got dinner in the oven and I'm ready for American Idle tonight....Go Scotty!!

What's New In The Studio

Hi Friends,

I have a few new things in Studio to share with you

I hand make all of the jewelery with the exception of the vintage peaces



My new peaces are made with fishing in mind

This one has tri swivel's

For those of you that don't fish... the center peace is a tri swivel used for hooks when fishing

The beach chair is one of my favorit things in the shop

The lady I got it from told me it was her grandmothers so I'm guessing its pretty old.

This is my version of Steampunk

The center peace was a star drag from a 65 hounderd ABU Garcia Reel

The charms on these beauty's are bearings from some of the reels that my housband has repaired.

There paired with hand made glass beads

These two are made of single swevles

Will I'm back to my crafting

I hope you get the chance to make somthing beautiful today
