Uh oh...

Isn't this just the cutest foyer table...Sandy from Amazing Grace in Amana
traded me a couple of batches of soap for a couple of tables,
don't ya just love to barter...

Great lil' drawer too...

Isn't it just the cutest in my parlor...did I say uh oh...
Well isn't this the name of the game, one comes in,
one goes out, right!
So, for now this is a keeper, perfect for my dictionary
that I use all the time.
I'm forming a new attraction for this dark weathered finish,
it goes so well with the rest of my salvaged junk.

Some day it''ll probably be sold, but for now...
MINE ALL MINE!!!

From the beginning...

Completed and ready to move...

John's Sheds, where my dream will be completed...

My doors and windows awaiting construction...

Delivered... and the first coats of primer to seal my deal...

Totally painted white on the inside, with the floors a battleship gray...

The view from my kitchen window...ahhh...!

My work space, slowly being filled with the tools of my craft
and space configured for retail and studio still in the works...

Playing with window box designs...

Love this old door, she and I have history, she was the front door
to the first house I ever bought by myself...
the old house was torn down, as were all the homes on the block
for progress...sad...

Soaps that will be displayed in the Spring in the shop...

Every shop must have antlers...right!

and sunlit vignettes...

The completion of the arbor, which in the spring will harbor birdhouse gourds
like green drapery blowing in the breeze...

Interior magic...

Trellis and yard art toward the end of a season...

The blue skies of Autumn declare an end to my fantasy...
but perhaps Indian Summer will linger on...
