Hello Friends:

Fall is here and the beautiful leave's changing season in the NE.

I made some "Dreams" tags for a customer and I'm really into "dreams" myself.  Some of my dreams
came to pass these past two weeks, others are still
great "dreams" in my "dream board"

I made a lot of progress this week, painted and distressed the second French desk.  Sold my beautiful typewriter, its so cute, but is gone to a new home.  I worked on an antique tray and a beautiful antique frame.  It could be a chalkboard or a mirror.  I'm leaving it blank. Its very ornate, and I used ASCP, gesso and some antique glaze.
I want to keep them because they came out beatiful.

On another note, I saw this house and its going up on my board, love the open space and the stone fireplace. Its just a beautiful house.

love the kitchen ,
love the bathroom.



This is a beautiful place to enjoy some good music, grab a cup of tea, on a chilly night and enjoy the music.  This is the house from the movie
"The Notebook"  I could watch this movie every weekend, love the different houses and the Nursing Home, sign me up!!!!!  a dream nursing home.

the famous blue shutters, I love blue and white.

I'm getting a blog overhauled, and there are some more surprises in the horizon coming soon.

love to you all
