It's Been So Long!

Wow... August is here. I have been mia for a while. I don't know what happened to July! What have I been up to? In mid June I took my annual trip to Walnut Iowa for their Father's Day weekend flea market. I ended up with some good finds and left a lot behind I would have LOVED to have.

I just love that little wood trike $22 Can you believe that!

My husband and I have been hard at work in the bathroom as well. It is not quite finished but it is totally usable. Take a peek:

I had my first wholesale show in June. I'll have to post pictures later. It went really well. Hopefully the orders keep coming in! That's all I have to report on today!

I am a Sunflower What Flower Are You?

Memorial Weekend

Well the weekend came and went, we had some nice weather for a change. We had so much rain this last week, the creek in our back yard was all of the way up and over the bridge, so I had to find an alternative way home! We got some more done in the bathroom this weekend!

Look, we have some tile laid! The floor is done and ready for grout. The wall have been painted and the door and window molding up.

This weekend was the bi-annual flea market in Lexington. I made it on Sunday and got a couple of neat things. I don't know why I have recently gotten an addiction to bread boards. I bought 2 a small round one and this large one. I also got this great little chair, it might end up hung in my bathroom, I'll have to get it finished before I decide that! The egg crate I have no idea what I'll do with. The top spins and my cat Sylvie found that out right away as she jumped in and hid. She was too quick for a photo though. Well it was back to work today and back to raining. I hope everyone had a great weekend!

It's May Already??

Holy cow! Where does the time go? I wish I could say we've been busy getting our bathroom done, but that's just wishful thinking. We are coming along with it! I've got some photos to update the progress.

THE TUB IS IN! And we are ready for tile. Maybe this will get done this year!







The walls are primed, and look at our new window! We picked up the tile last night and we already have the wainscot and molding. I've got my paint and wallpaper too.

I just went to an Upper Case living party. I bought one thing for my front door and got that put on, see what you think:

Well that's all I have for now, until next time...

It's been awhile...

I didn't think it had been this long since I've posted! March has been flying by. I've been busy getting on the Lemon Poppy Seeds site and trying to stay active with that. I'll be taking part in a Charity Auction for the National Cervical Cancer Coalition. I need to get to working on that! The auctions will take place on ebay staring May 1st. I'll update more on that later.

Hmm what have I been up to? That's right I'm starting to work on fall things and winter items will be coming right up as well. I am hopefully going to be participating in a wholesale gift show in July for the upcoming seasons. If I don't start building my inventory now I don't want to think of the sleepless nights I'll have ahead.


Oh and also check out some of my items on Country Craft Show Online I'll be adding more summer things when they get done! I'm in the Primitives Extreme category. That's all for now!

Lemon Poppy Seeds

Great news! I have been accepted into the Lemon Poppy Seeds website. I've already got some things added to their wonderful site and they will debut Saturday March 1st. Can you believe March is almost here. We've had seom great 50 degree days. Enough to make you yearn for spring! Check out the site for some wonderful artists.

I've also had time to finish a couple of things. This Americana doll is one of 3 different dolls I got added to my website. There is also and Easter doll and a kitty loven doll.

The other day I was searching for crinkle wire and came across a great site: Victorian Scrapworks I bought some crinkle wire and these wonderful victorian scraps. I have no idea what I am going to do with them yet but the possibilities! And the prices are wonderful. Well that's all I have to report on tonight! ~Heather

Bathroom Remodel

Here is what I've been up to lately! I got tired of my s 70's avacado green bathroom. Well there is no green in there now!

First went the carpet, then the vanity and huge mirror glued on the wall. Next came the tile in the shower and then the tub itself. What a job, but the demo work is all done. I'm going to tile the floor and shower, put in a nice WHITE tub. There will be a new vanity and mirror. I can't wait! I'll keep adding photos as I go.

New Blogger Alert

I am finally venturing into the world of blogging. My mind is constantly so busy with ideas, I thought this would be a good way of organizing them and making me bring the ideas to life! I haven't quite figured this whole mess out, but I'm sure I'll catch on eventually. Or at least in time for them to change how everything is done. Isn't that the way it goes.

Anyway here is a stitchery I just got done, framed in a somewhat funky frame. It would look great hanging on the wall in an arrangement. Every time I add a post I'm going to try to put a picture in of something new I've made. Now there's a challenge, we'll see how long that lasts, -Ha.

I'm currently working on a wholesale catalog for my business. That has been pretty slow going. I have a hard time working on things that are out of season. I feel like I just got done making pumpkins and witches, but that is what I find myself needing to design. More on that later.

You can find my website here The Olde Saltbox I have items on Ranting Raven this month. Also check out my Etsy store. I've also been looking into Lemon Poppy Seeds as I've gotten a great invite email from Angela at angiesraggedypatch.com We'll see where that leads, like I said, I'm getting organized here! ~Heather
