~on top the piano~

Hello everyone!

I thought I would show you a little

refluffing I did recently on top of our piano....

but first the weather ~ ok. rain.

moving right along....;)

I found this vintage typewriter at the goodwill bin store

down the road.....cool huh?

very heavy....

I had to adorn her a little ~ give her a little bit

of lavender & lace....

much more interesting that way!

we actually got this piano off ~ you guessed it ~

craigslist!  And it was F R E E!!

sadly, a result of a divorce.

I brought my very musically inclined friend

who tested it and told me it was an amazing piano w/

wonderful sound.  It is.  I love it.

of course, I'm not especially loving the BROWN wood

I mean, come on!  Right???

but, Mr. T & T has strongly suggested

 (uh what?  what does that mean??? hee hee)

that we leave it alone....huh?  what?  I don't think I really got that....

not that I would EVER do something crazy while he wasn't paying attention....

nah....never....

we shall see.....lucky for him I'm too busy to cause

too much trouble right now! ;)

but I have to admit.....this particular paint treatment is haunting me.......in case you didn't see this post from Miss Mustard Seed....GO SEE NOW!!!

you won't believe how gorgeous her previously BROWN cabinets turned out!!

are you back?  Cool!

where was I?

ok back to the brown piano...

so, I moved my little cherub laying on her french vintage books

and added a few plates & platters....

tore up a couple books....

{fyi....make sure the books are old enough or they really don't turn out that great....course

all you super talented decorating ninjas already know this.....;)}

adorned a few candlesticks with vintage french sheet music

~ that was a little difficult ~ cutting it up....hated to do it!

but it doesn't really do me any good just holding on to them ~

stacks of vintage music sitting on a bookshelf, right?

fun stuff ~

re did this little table ~ again!

since I stole the cherub....

moved the lavender to this neat old trophy

and added a little clock.

welcome spring?  she's declined thus far

to be welcomed..... errrr....

I wanted to let you all know that I'm now offering

tablecloths in the Linen Shoppe

I recently completed one for a custom order & thought it was

so beautiful ~ I decided to add them to the store.

you can find them here

I also wanted to show you a beautiful necklace

I recently purchased from another

etsy shop

it came so beautifully wrapped

what a treat it was to open!

my girls were gathered around soaking it in!

just beautiful ~ all completely hand done

the artist is Laura Venosa DellaPorta

and her shop can be found here!

here is another beautiful example

of her work....

go see her ~ you will not be disappointed! :)

oh and btw....she is an absolute sweetheart.....

now, I'm back to work.

got 2 girls home sick...

Kenzie age 13 ...sore throat, cough, fever, ear ache

Allie age 10..."hurt foot" and tired.... ha ha no

just kidding she does have an owie and let's say

a plugged nose (at this point) I do believe it's time

for her to get back to class! :)

Have a wonderful Thursday!

xoxo,

Shellagh
