I finally got to spend a little time reimagining a few pieces of furniture. I found this wonderful, old high chair and painted a little Schnauzer on the seat, (at least I think that's a Schnauzer).
To an old, brown chair, I painted a crane in flight among a Japanese cherry blossom tree.
I had so much fun creating these yesterday in the beautiful June sun. I hope you enjoy looking or even possibly have the perfect spot for one in your home.
Thanks for taking a peek.

Two years ago I went on a day trip with my husband to Durant, OK. He had some business there and said I could drop him off and go exploring for the day. I don't need a second invite to do that!
I investigated several downtown antique stores and flea markets, but the one that captivated me the most was run by an older couple (my age, I guess). The husband was surrounded by antique clocks in the back of the store and was working away on the restoration of one.
The walls in the whole store were lined with paintings. I appreciated them, but didn't feel an impulse to purchase one until I was on my way to the register.
My eyes landed on a really lovely, bright, floral oil painting that was obviously an original by a fairly talented amateur.
Sometimes when I'm shopping, my eyes play tricks on me and I don't see one of the digits on the price tag. I feel like a deflated Bozo the Clown punching bag when I get to the register and the proprietor points out the REAL price, sometimes even after the item has been rung up. It's so embarrassing to have to backpedal, but sometimes the pocketbook demands it. Poverty trumps pride, I reckon.
On this day, my eyes played that trick. When I discovered the actual price, I asked the clerk if there was a happier price possible. She said no.
But, she went on to explain that her 91-year-old mother had painted most of the pictures that lined the walls around us, including the painted bouquet I held in my hands.
She said that her mother was still alive and not only was she alive , but she was kicking and kicking quite vigorously. It was probably 98 degrees that day and she told me her mother was at the park with her friends having a picnic or some such thing. I can't exactly remember, but I do remember being amazed that she was participating in such an event in the middle of a sweltering, summer afternoon in Southeastern Oklahoma. I think my shirt was probaby soaked through just standing there in the store thinking about it.
The painter's daughter went on to tell me about her mother's stubborn love of life and how she pushes the boundaries of age every day.
I plopped down the extra digit in the price and carried my prize out the door. I have not been the same woman since that day.
The flowers that hang in my foyer are a daily reminder that I want to be the unstoppable, old lady who paints, and creates, and sings and loves and does all kinds of crazy shiitake until I can't.
That's the day that the old adage, "Just keep putting one foot in front of the other" became my fresh mantra.

So, there it is. The story I've been wanting to tell for awhile, and haven't. It took finding the old, daisy picture that I put in my booth today in the hopes that it might inspire someone else to keep dreaming and living and dancing one day and one step at a time.

I have a few new things added to my booth and have also gone through with my red pen and slashed some prices! Be sure to stop in Sassafras to prowl around. You might find some hidden treasures or maybe some in plain sight!

It's time for another booth update. I still have more things to place this week. Check back often with me because you truly never know what's gonna show up.
Also, feel free to let me know what kinds of things you're looking for. That's my favorite activity-the hunt.

I forgot to post one of my favorite additions to my booth!!! If you love houseplants in cute vintage containers, I will be adding some more soon. I also will include tips for caring for your plant on the tag, so remember to take a pic on your phone before Misty Morgan yanks it off at the register.

New finds arriving almost daily. I am digging through my she-shed and scouring the countryside looking for the perfect thing for customers.
To me, it just makes so much sense to buy a gently used item instead of always having to buy new. (There are exceptions to the rule, of course. I draw the line at buying used underwear, make-up, and toothbrushes. Ha! I'm sure I will come up with some other things for the list later. You will probably have some to share with me!
I'm at Sassafrass, first room to the right. Watch your step as you enter.
I don't like saying the C word, but I was "Cottagecore" before it was a thing. At Sassafras we've got cottagecore coming out of our Millie Bobby Browns.

Once again, thanks for shopping with me!

Spent a few hours this evening sprucin' up the booth and trying to bring a little of that sunshine inside. Come visit this week!
