Here's Where I've Been

Things have been busy lately!

There have been some unexpected things that have come our way.

Some twists, some turns, and bumps in the road!

Thank goodness God is in CONTROL!

In other news, The Little Red Wagon is moving, and will now be

RED WAGON MARKET.

This is my booth space the my sweet husband and I finished yesterday.

I am so excited that it came together, and

Yes, the chandelier works! 

This is my second space, that I am working on filling up. 

We will be opening Friday morning at 10 AM. 

If you are in the Lyons, GA area, it will be worth checking out. 

We have approximately 110 Vendors, and a little bit of everything!

One of the most exciting things about putting these two booths together was that we did it all

on a budget. 

I could not have done it at all without all of the hard work and expertise of my wonderful

HUSBAND! 

He is definitely my #1 guy!

Between the two booths, 

our total spent was approximately $62.00. 

Our goal was to work with what we had so I drew the pictures, keeping in mind the materials that

we had salvaged, and had been given.  

The biggest expense was for the tin roof which was 32.00. 

It has been exciting to see it all come together. 

WISHING YOU A BLESSED EASTER!

When Skies are Gray...

 We have had a lot of gray skies here lately, and I mean a LOT! Some pretty tough things have been going on as well, so another gray day had become a dread to me. 

This morning when I when I saw blue skies and sunshine, I was reminded that even during the gray days, there is always the hope of sunshine. 

Then, as I got ready to post, the Lord reminded me, that there is beauty even when the skies are gray. 

Praying that you will find beauty wherever you are today. 

Finished Project, a Table

Here's a look at my latest completed project. I stress completed, because there are always projects going on around here! I was wanting an update in my breakfast room, but wanting to do it on a budget. Previously we had an oak table with pressed back chairs. I found this table on Craigslist for $20.00 close to my son's house, and it so happened that my husband was headed that way for a weekend visit, perfect opportunity to haul this table back home. I contacted the owner, they went, they bought, and here it is. Very heavy and solid, and similar style to one that Pottery Barn has. The chairs were also a Craigslist find. When I purchased the chairs I planned to use them in the dining room, but decided if I could get the table like I wanted I would use them in the breakfast room.

 Sorry I don't have a before picture. The table was natural , but in need of much TLC. I originally was going to paint the whole thing white, but decided to see if I could get the top to look closer to the chair color. Kind of a white washed gray look. I found some white stain, thinking that would do the trick, but you couldn't even tell that I had stained the table. 

Here's a look at the completed top, sort of a happy accident. I decided since the white wasn't working, I would try a darker stain over that. When I did, I got a great looking gray,  almost perfect with the chairs!

It is hard to tell from this picture, but it has just the right mix of gray and natural showing through.  Liking this so much better than the golden oak! What do you think?
