Merry Christmas my friends! I hope you're having a wonderful day and I'll talk to you soon!

Before and After: Michelle's Inky Blue Weathered Desk

I know my posts have been a little spotty lately, but with Christmas business - I just can't keep up! So I'm going to slow things down over the holidays and refresh myself for a new and exciting blog year ahead!

I've been painting like a madwoman for a few Lather Creations commissions I have on the go, so of course I have to share. Remember the stained reddish desk that Michelle brought me?

Well here she is in her full Inky Blue glory! Don't Michelle's gorgeous vintage rose pulls just totally pull the piece together?

Sorry for the crooked pics, I must have been a little tipsy when I took them (or just a bad photographer that day!). 

I absolutely can't wait for the holidays, my dad is coming in and we have tons of family time scheduled at various homes. So if I don't talk to you before then, I hope you have an amazing Christmas filled with love and family and good eats!

Be Thrift My Heart

Well it's a good thing I had the day off work, or I never would have gone thrifting. And if I hadn't gone thrifting, I wouldn't have found two of the things I've been coveting on my thrift wish list.

Wish list item #1 - A beautiful vintage typewriter

This classic Royal Futura is in mint condition, works and comes in the most beautiful camel coloured leather hard case. As a writer by trade, I've always loved any kind of writing paraphernalia (dictionaries, notebooks, pencils, books and yes, anything typewriter related!). So this was the mother score!  Guess how much? $4.99!!!!  Doing the happy dance as we speak...

Wish List Item #2 - A Globe

This warm-toned beauty was also in mint condition, from the textured mountain ranges to the brass holder. J had asked for a globe for Christmas but I just couldn't wait another week, I gave it to him today!  The price you ask - $7.99!  I know, I can't believe it either.

Sometimes the thrifting gods just smile down at you...

One more weekend until Christmas! I hope you all have a very lovely weekend...any big plans other than shopping, baking, wrapping and such?
