More Fun With Driftwood

I can't stop myself from playing with all this driftwood that I have been collecting. First, I made some driftwood crosses, then it was some signs and now I am making some driftwood lamps. Next up, maybe some driftwood mirrors. The list goes on and on. Honey, you just might need to stop me soon! So, today I am sharing my first DRIFTWOOD LAMP...I'm lovin' it and I hope you will too. Well, I better go for now, gotta go get ready for another summer wedding. Thanks for coming by, and I hope you have a fun weekend with family and friends.
Blessings,
Linda

Her $20 Treasure

A few weeks ago, Mary Claire (my daughter) and I got up early and headed out to some garage sales. A few days earlier in the week, she had told me to start looking for her an accent chair. She is hoping to get her own place soon with some friends of hers, and she would like to have a comfy chair in her bedroom, where she can sit back and do some reading. Okay, so we start the search for that perfect chair. As luck would have it, she found it on day one...maybe I should have her go buy me some lottery tickets. Not only did she find it...get this...it was only $20!!! Oh yes...this lucky girl found a LazyBoy recliner and it came with a custom made slipcover. To make it even better, we know the people that were selling it (and no they didn't give us a discount...$20 was the ticket price). Since we are busting at the seams around here with all her extra furniture and stuff...then add in all my treasures that are waiting on me to restore them....this bad baby had to go in our dining room. When we can't locate her...then just check the dining room and you will be sure to find her...sitting there reading. Maybe we should rename this room, what ya think?
Blessings,
Linda

What an awesome find!

Nice style too!!!

                   I also found a treasure...here is one of my $8.00
                   pillows that I found at an antiques shop over in
                                        the bayou state.

                                   Gotta love it,..when you find what
                                   she is reading...her Bible. I am sure
                                               one lucky mother.

Driftwood Art

I have been having a lot of fun being creative with some driftwood lately. So, today I am sharing with y'all a few things that I whipped up today. These will all be for sale at my booth...Coastal Charm Interiors, but tomorrow I've gotta make myself a coastal driftwood sign for my beach condo. Now, what kind of sign do I want? Oh well, only time will tell (I will be sure to share with y'all later). You can help this ole gal out and tell me what words would you write out? I have a few in my head, but I always love to hear from y'all. Looking forward to spending some time at my condo, just wish it wasn't so darn HOT!!!!
Blessings,
Linda

Isn't it a cutie?

SOLD on the 3rd day:) Now making more!

HOME SWEET HOME!!!!

Really like how the "O" turned out.

This "EAT" sign would look
good in any style of kitchen.

Oh...how sweet!!!

Perfect for a wedding...don't ya think?

Maybe, even a wedding gift.

Adding More

My vintage style booth really keeps me busy, I am always a busy bee indeed. I find it funny when my mom calls me and ask...honey what are you up to today? The answer always seems to be...painting!!! I think soon, she will stop asking, since she always gets the same answer. I am so far behind on my sewing jobs around here, I really hope to sit down soon and create some super cute pillows, wish me luck. Today, I am sharing some new items that I have recently added to my booth, so let's see what I've got! Thanks for coming by and if are not already following me on FACEBOOK and PINTEREST, then click here and here.
Blessings,
Linda
