happy friday, friends! i woke up early this morning & headed out to an estate sale. once i was there, my head was spinning. so many good pieces & affordable prices, too! i came away with three boxes of ball jelly jars in various shapes & sizes. i added the ones above to my antique booth.
i also picked up a stack of national geographics from 1927, ’28 & ’29. the photographs are stunningly beautiful & purely vintage. don’t worry, those will be added to my {shop} next week!
after such success, i was incredibly inspired to actually finish some projects on my to-do list. i finally tackled the birdcage & stand that had been in my studio for almost a month.
i spray-painted the piece glossy apple red. rust-proof & so cute, i had to do every thing in me not to display it in my kitchen… & keep it there.
perfect as a plant stand for a covered porch, too. i added this beauty to my antique booth just in time for the weekend. i am so thankful for this little burst of inspiration & motivation. this weekend, our family is headed to the lake for a reunion. enjoy the weekend, friends!
love,

i really enjoyed reading your responses to my previous post on setting internet boundaries & i am so happy that i was able to serve as a bit of inspiration for some of you! my weekend was simply wonderful & i am so happy to have made the choice to turn off the computer. i felt refreshed once i returned this afternoon to my studio…even after a home improvement weekend so that says a lot.
we stayed close to home for most of the weekend, finishing projects around the house. we hung lanterns from our covered front porch, built trellises for our overgrown cantaloupe & watermelon plants, & other little odds & ends around the home. luke’s brother, joel, also came to stay for the night. this afternoon we had a ridiculously good time making produce bags from my stash of vintage fabric.
wishing you all a happy monday evening… after such a good weekend, it can be hard to get back into the groove.
love,
natalie
