a sewing caddy

So, luckily the weather has cooled down a little, which I am so happy about. It is hard when you don't have central air. :) 

This little sewing caddy was a sweet find at the flea market on Sunday. It is in a little rough shape, but I just adore the design in the wood and the size. I have a larger one from my great grandmother that I love. This could be the start of another collection. Oh my!

And for $5, I couldn't pass it up! I just order some Miss Mustard Seed's Milk Paint and Annie Sloan Chalk Paint, from a local store which I am really excited to use. I have so many wooden pieces that need to be brought back to prettiness! 

I also brought home some lovely crocheted potholders. I am going for a whole wall of these in my kitchen. I have 12 so far, so maybe another 12 more.. 

You probably saw this gorgeous enameled bowl with my new crocheted hangers! I love it, especially with the aqua rim! 

 I have some good news to share with you...I will be doing my first boutiques coming up at the end of September and the beginning of November. I am super excited!! I will be posting more information when it get's closer, and if you are in the So. Cal area would love for you to come out! 

So, I bought this bowl to be part of my display. I thought it would be cute to lay some of my tea towels in it. What do you think? I have so many ideas, and a lot of sewing and crocheting to do. I would love your prayers as I prepare for these, as I am really nervous, but know the Lord is in control!

 I have to make my booth backdrop, so off to Lowe's I go this week to get some wood and chicken wire. I'll be giving you little sneak peaks as it comes along. 

And, of course I still have to do other projects, right? I started a new granny, it is called Waterlily. I love the peach, white and pop of orange together. I am planning to do a small throw for the couch. These squares are about 8 inches, so it will only take about 15 or so to make one. I am going to plan to do one a week. We'll see how it goes.

This awesome stamp came in the mail yesterday. I love stamps, and this one is so great for doing phrases! Do you have any favorite stamps?

Hope you are all having a beautiful and creative day! 

I'm linking up with Liz of The Blue Eyed Owl for Thrift Score Thursday! Head on over to check out some more treasures!
