Offering some favorites

   

 Hi Sharing some of my favorite spots at the Screen Door and Tobacco Barn in Asheville, North Carolina

                                                           Loving this beautiful patina of white

                                                            Have a seat please and join me for a chat

                                                              I offer you my love of a fav new vendor

                                                             Don't you love this presentation?

                                                            She had the coolest doors

                                                                    I loved these bottles and buckets

                                            Now this stretcher is divine...my medical heart fell in love

                                                       Frances will be in Atlanta with her great pieces

It has been beautiful in the Carolina's and I will be working on some projects this weekend and I will share with you!!  Joining these lovely ladies....   Di and friends 

My office furnishings

I am fixing up my office at my new job and I am gathering supplies and ideas...So

I went out shopping and found this great chair for $25

or I found this chair for $25

And I found this great metal piece, do I use for candles or how about little plants?

                                           What about this cool wood piece from my junk stash?

                            I found some great frames for $3 each and painted them a Louis Blue in
                                           Anne Sloan paint, I wonder how I could incorporate them?
                              
 I walked by this in the Screen Door Antique mall and wondered what this would be...it is a stretcher made into a chaise lounge!!  Wouldn't that be a hoot in my medical office setting?

So I know you are waiting to see how my office looks but that will have to wait until I decide on the elements

I will need a plant stand but this one was a little pricey...I will keep looking for that element and I will need another chair.  I am hoping this weekend to find the right table and then will do a big room reveal next week.

I am so enjoying my new work place and the people I work with.  Such a pleasure to go to work and make a difference.

Supplies

What great finds I found this past week

I went to a great estate sale and the young lady was selling her grandparents stuff.  There was a box of painting supplies I needed.  I think I got every thing on my art list I was missing, some burnt umber paint, bushes, a frame, tools for my mixed media!!

At the antique mall in Black Mountain I found great out door plates and knobs.

Beautiful lace

This cremlin was a find at The Tobacco Barn last month and I used a small piece to create a wonderful shaw for one of my mini mannequins!

Another thing I did was use vintage lace and one of my stensils to create this design on one of my art projects!!

This weekend I will be creating fun projects with my recent finds and will share those with you next week in the mean time I am Sharing with:




 

Have a GREAT Weekend!!  Di

Vintage Finds

So What or Who is it?

Elegance, Class... definition of Style

Classy

                              Yes, that's right young women of the 50's. 

                        I found a 1955 Yearbook for an all girls school and snapped it up for $1. 

                       I will use it in my mixed media projects.

Of course, the lady of the 50's Audrey Hepburn defines beauty, elegance, and grace. She inspired young women for the ages.

I found this beautiful print and purse at a garage sale for $3!  I love Breakfast at Tiffany's.  I am going to frame this and hang it in my new office.

I think her strength, grace and spirit will inspire me.  Caio, Di

Happy Weekend!

Asheville office

Yay, I have a job now.  As many of you know since moving from Florida to North Carolina I was retired from my old job but looking for something here since I offically couldn't retire.  After several close job hires I found the perfect fit!  I am excited to be joining a Family Practice here in town.  It is a lovely office with such great people.  They have 2 locations and one is in the beautiful town of Black Mountain.  I can't wait to share pictures with you of that town!!

Black Mountain office

This is my morning view as I head into the office.

This church is so beautiful, at lunch 3 of us take a walk around the church and up the road to the Blue Ridge Parkway!

The second office is in Black Mountain, there is the sweetest historic district with a wonderful shopping area.

Love the door!

This was in a beautiful shop filled with art and pottery and beautiful handmade jewlry

A Lovely Antique shop with many dealers upstairs and downstairs.  This building was a livery.

Some Local pottery!

I won a beautiful burlap pillow from Nan at You Could Make That.  And now she has another fabulous giveaway for Spring!  Nan can make just about anything and you must follow her to be entered.  I have learned so much from her and will be making towels from a previous post for Christmas presents and this pillow (I sure hope I win...then I can just use this!)....  Anyway I would love for you to have a chance also.

   All you have to do is click the pillow and go on over to Nan, you must be a follower!!
We ended the day at the Celtic Women concert, let me tell you it was wonderful.  As we left the lad that played the bagpipes wished us a safe journey!
