We are set up at the Dallas Vintage Market in Market Hall in Dallas. I found out about this section of the Dallas Market show while at Round Top. Me and my friend Tara took a road trip in June to check it out and upon entering the Vintage Home building Tara clearly said, "oh, you are so doing this". I was encourage by that and quickly told the show coordinator I would like a booth. Then...I got nauseous, nervous and wondered what the heck I was thinking!!! But now it is January and we have traveled to Dallas and are set up in our little 10x20 booth, ready to show our refurbished and non refurbished vintage items. Here is a photo show of what we have created in 1 and 1/2 days.....probably a little photo heavy ;)</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
While at Round Top Antiques Week in the Spring the cutest girl with the nicest personality popped in my booth and said she loved some pillows I had made. She told me she had a shop in Cypress and asked if there was any way we could talk wholesale. We came to an easy agreement and she bought a few pillows. She came back this fall and we talked about a few other items, made an order list and she was off to scour the fabulous fields of vintage/antique heaven of Round Top.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started working on her order as soon as we unpacked and got settled back at home. Today I had the privilege of delivering these items to her shop and oh what a treat that was!!! Her shop is called<a href="http://www.littleeclectichouse.com/"> Little Eclectic House</a> in Cypress, Tx. Talk about some serious eye candy...ok let's stop talking...enjoy the pictures!</div>

This little cutie on the front porch is Gus....Shellie, the owner, said he showed up a few weeks ago and decided he had found a new home. When she closes up at night he curls up and sleeps by the front door...how sweet is that?</div>

We have been back from Round Top Antiques Week at LaBahia for almost a week now. Everything has been unloaded, cleaned, wiped down, repaired (if needed) Eeks! and new projects started. We had a fabulous time, as usual, but are glad to be back in our own bed. I love camping, but camper mattresses, well, lets just say, are not tempurpedic !!! This is how we roll.....None of this is possible without the muscle you see in the picture...not sure why he works so hard to make this happen but I am so happy he does!!! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
And this....is where we start...Troy and our son Corey drove up a day early and put down the floor in the cow pasture. The ground is quite uneven and this sure helps furniture to sit unwonky....you know what I mean with that word!!!</div>

This was the last day of the show, not much left. While we were packing up the table and chairs were sold to a couple of sisters that were just so much fun. They were so excited to be able to take the legs off this table to fit it into their very small SUV. They were away for the weekend and were having soooo much fun shopping. For one of the sisters, this was her first weekend away from her kids in 10 years....oh my, I wanted to hug her for that...she was completely enjoying herself.</div>

I am so blessed and fortunate to have people in my life that love and support my crazy ideas and the love of my crafting, junking and transforming.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My parents, inlaws, and sweet friend Traci came to cheer me on and just give me all kinds of "you can do this for 10 days girl" kind of encouragement.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love them for that!!!</div>

I have been a Dental Hygienist for 29 years. I have worked for some amazing dentists. Dr Shelli Peters is one that will always rank at the top. She moved to another city and is practicing dentistry there or I would still be working for her. She drove four hours to see me....well she was shopping for two days but we had a wonderful visit and it was fabulous to see her!!!</div>

A young couple came and found me to ask about this arched candelabra....I talked with them a little bit then asked if they had a business or something that they were going to use the candelabra in...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
they said no, they were getting married in a few months and were doing all the wedding preparations by themselves and this would be perfect for them to stand in front of when they said their vows!!!!!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
We are back from our time at Round Top Antiques Week where we set up at LaBahia and we are um, dog tired. We had an awesome time, and as always, there are cool stories to tell. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Troy decided the week before we left that I needed a floor for my booth. The grounds are very uneven. That and the addition of the Texas humidity and drastic changes in weather make for drawers on dressers that stick and furniture looking all </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
wonky.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is the mock up floor on our driveway....</div>

I rearrange my living room for my Christmas tree. So when Christmas is packed away, I usually change something around. This year I wanted something different to go in the place of where the Christmas tree is set up so ....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started looking around...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have had these club chairs since the early 1990's..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
at the time, we had moved into a major fixer upper </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so I had to be thrifty when it came to furnishing it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I found them at a resale store...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zFj6MdXpAbI/UsriP2VSQ4I/AAAAAAAAEls/nLenZhii8v4/s1600/club+chairs+001.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zFj6MdXpAbI/UsriP2VSQ4I/AAAAAAAAEls/nLenZhii8v4/s1600/club+chairs+001.JPG" height="425" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think they were $40 each which at the time was a lot of money...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
considering everything else that needed to done in that house....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but they were in great shape, sturdy, very heavy and not a blemish in the upholstery...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but they were a bit..... aged....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
wouldn't you say?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I slipcovered them in a fabulous crazy floral...which worked great with my home at the time.....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vd3XXH9cT_A/Usrin5fj24I/AAAAAAAAEl4/LEXC20eADDo/s1600/P1000324.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vd3XXH9cT_A/Usrin5fj24I/AAAAAAAAEl4/LEXC20eADDo/s1600/P1000324.JPG" height="369" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
you can see them here in the background....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
now that I am going a little more farmhouse, vintage, cottagey all around different look...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I removed the slipcovers and moved the chairs to the garage....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
with all my other projects...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so I had the boys haul them back in to see if they would fit..</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
well, wouldn't you know!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Of course, since this was not planned...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
as most of my wild hair projects....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I did not have fabric set aside....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so I started digging around....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
they are definitely a marriage of some coordinating fabrics that I had to make work to get them finished.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9zJFe-Joc08/Usri0TJ8-ZI/AAAAAAAAEmA/Kt-CDBq7Ozw/s1600/club+chairs+012.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9zJFe-Joc08/Usri0TJ8-ZI/AAAAAAAAEmA/Kt-CDBq7Ozw/s1600/club+chairs+012.JPG" height="328" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used a tone on tone embroidered fabric leftover from my upholstery class, some drop cloth, some burlap and some hemp fabric that was recommended by Miss Mustard Seed<a href="http://missmustardseed.com/2013/06/better-than-drop-cloths/"> here</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think my color of hemp was more creamy, but ordered from the same supplier.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I will say....it is quite heavy and a little hard to work with but seems to be super durable.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so....here are more pics then you probably want of the slipcovers...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am loving them...</div>

One side of the cushion I used drop cloth and it just seemed a little...plain...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so I added some jute webbing off to one side...just enough...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
on the other side I used the same embroidered fabric that is on the back...</div>

I tried my hand at some chalkboard art....I have written on framed chalkboards...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but mostly just to show that it was a chalkboard....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wanted to do something different with my mantel after taking my Christmas decorations down. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is what I had for Christmas</div>

Obviously, I just scribbled that on there.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I went to my Pinterest board and started looking for something fun to write this time and I saw this</div>

So, I pulled my computer over by me on the floor and started writing....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
let me just say...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
in 2014 I will hit a milestone in my little life...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will turn 50 years old...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know, you say, whaaaat?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But it is true....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I ONLY tell you that so that when I say I was on the floor...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
well, let's just say, it took a while to work the kinks out when I stood up...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and I DO NOT LIKE THAT!!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

So enjoyed our time together.</p>

<br />
The stockings are hung by the chimney with care.....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Christmas is here...can you believe it?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have been buzzing around here baking and slapping hands out of the treats meant for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Our tradition since Troy and I were engaged is to spend Christmas Eve with the Henderson gang (my family) and Christmas Day with the Thames. Everyone lives within 45 minutes to 1 1/2 hours driving distance so it just works. This year we host both families and are excited to get this sleigh rolling.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've taken a few pics....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Merry Christmas!</div>

Oldest college boy came home for the first time this semester....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so "mom" (me) kicked it into gear....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and did a little baking</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-gjQsG0UP-yg/UnGrhqVRNUI/AAAAAAAABoU/g1QwkEtzI3s/s1600/cake+020.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-gjQsG0UP-yg/UnGrhqVRNUI/AAAAAAAABoU/g1QwkEtzI3s/s320/cake+020.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I made chocolate cake with marshmallow cream icing...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
ok...so the cake was a box...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Betty Crocker Super Moist Devil's Food</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but...then I made marshmallow cream icing</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here is the recipe:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3 egg whites</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2 T water</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1/2 C sugar</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1 7 oz jar marshmallow cream</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In a double boiler...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(I have a double boiler, but for this I use the bottom pan of my double boiler for my water and then use a heat safe large pyrex bowl to mix the icing in)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
anyway....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
in the top of the double boiler (pyrex bowl) mix the first three ingredients with an electric mixer until foamy...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Add marshmallow cream</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Mix on high speed with the electric mixer until it is thick, pan is full, and icing is stiff and will not fall off beaters....then it's done!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The icing is so light and fluffy....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
love it....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My mom's recipe....thanks Mom!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I crave organization...but I just cannot seem to get there</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but every once in a while...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just can't take it anymore...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I stared at this for about 3 months thinking...yeah...I need to do something about that...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
this is beside my bed</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I plug my phone in, my bedside chandelier light switch plug...yes, they are cute...need to show you sometime...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
alarm clock...which I loathe, my body needs to wake up on it's own...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think that would relieve some stress</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
anyway...here is what I did...on the back of my bedside table I measured with tape for the screws to hang the electric strip</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
then added these little 3M picture hangers to hold the cords on top of the bedside table...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Pushed it all back against the wall and said</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
aaaahhhhhh....so much better...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
another little thing....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
my oldest is in an apartment at college for the first time this semester...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
it was a last minute decision, so things were thrown together rather quickly</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
he loves it...all plain and with nothing on the walls....oh my...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
anyway...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
there is a pretty big window in the bedroom...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
which keeps the room pretty bright during the day...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and makes it hard to sleep past noon on the weekends</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so forbid...something HAD to be done...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I dug in my fabric stash</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and made a window covering...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
a functioning window covering...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to keep that nasty sunlight out of his precious eyes until</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
he is good and ready to wake up on the weekends...</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We had some great times with friends during our time at LaBahia...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Some friends of ours have retired</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and are quite young as retired ages go</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we are so jealous...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
anyway</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
they invited us to their new farm in the Round Top area for dinner and a visit</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the drive was beautiful...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">(excuse the wind shield shot from the camera and the bird poop, geez)</span></div>

So, being the great guy he his...Troy said he would take me and Annette to stand in line, get our book signed and see The Prairie.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So....we get back to LaBahia....late...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I look at Troy and say..."Hey, you feel like re-arranging the booth"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There was just a slight hesitation then he so nicely said , "sure"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Little did I know that some of my booth neighbors wanted to officially welcome me into the LaBahia family. So after 1 1/2 hours of dolling up the booth we go to bed only to wake up the next morning to this....</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I am always interested in and excited to hear where these treasures are going and how they will be used...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
this table and chairs was a true labor of love and they looked so cool together...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
they were a marriage...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I did not find them together but they were meant to be together all along...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They were painted in ASCP olive green and old white with a Ralph Lauren glaze to finish them off.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The table top was stripped, sanded and stained in walnut</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
anyway...back to the story...the lady that bought this was buying it for her son, who is in his first home, out of college, working his first 'real job'. He does not live close by and she sent him pictures to get his opinion...after a day of pondering...and getting the "mom, just make a decision" answer from her son..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
she bought it...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I would love to see it in his home....</div>

then come June there was "no room in the inn"...so to speak</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was so bummed but Annette unselfishly 'gave me' one of her booths</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Annette has the most eclectic collection of 50's, 60's and 70's vintage goodies that anyone has ever seen and has quite the following at LaBahia</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is so fun to listen to the shoppers in her booth...it takes them back to their childhood or maybe even staying with granny for the summer...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thanks Annette!!! this past week was soooo much fun!!!</div>
