New goodies....feeling all nesty

I am a buzzy bee.
TIRED buzy bee.

Many new designs in process,
my house a disaster!

So much happening 
and 
so much preparing 
after this amazing last week.

The Southern Living shoot 
was so much fun. 
The stylist and photographer 
felt like old friends visiting.
(I will share some pictures later!)

The weekend sale  at 
Chartreuse & co. 
was absolutely unbelievable.  
So many faithful customers 
came to see us 
and so many new found us!
A lovely lady ran into the shop 
at 9 a.m. on Friday
to claim my French Panel cabinet!

So....


I am a painting machine...
A peek at my new centerpiece.

Nesting....

That is exactly what I feel like I have been doing. 
 Building my nests of sorts...














The patina on this door was so yummy.
I have a little thing for vines...one of my first paid jobs was vines. 
I used to joke when I had a my teen-like acne
I would just paint a vine on my face to hide it...I think I could start that trend!



The marriage of 
my art and salvaged finds 
makes me soar...
like that little bird.

 Thanks for all your notes 
and new followers. 
I appreciate the love 
more than I can say.  

O and still a chance to
win a spring giveaway...
Leave me a note and 
become a follower
and you may be the winner of
a spring inspired goodie.

And a special thanks 
for the blog awards...
I am working on passing that along.  
Sincerely...
Thank you.
