Hi Bloggerettes!
I have a little of this and that to show you that I found
over the weekend.
First, is this sweet little wicker stool that I recovered using sweet pink fabric with a vintage dolie....
I found this great piece at a thrift store.
It's a vintage, handcrafted schoolmarm's desk...
The top opens for storage of books and papers and
the back has open book shelves.
All we did was sand it to give it some character
and it's now in our booth at Perfect Imperfections...
I spied these strange looking ducks in someone's yard and had to stop and take a photo.
At first I thought they were chickens but it turns out they are called
Muscovy Ducks.
And now for the piece de resistance....
A lovely shabby tole chandelier!!!!!
We hung it up in the our booth today and it looks great! Yes.
Found this sweet print at an estate sale. The frame was dark so I gave it the shabby treatment with some chantilly lace paint and
lots of sanding. I think I'll keep this one.
Look at her face. I love it!
I'm linking up with Coastal Charm's Nifty Thrifty Tuesdays.
Everyone have a wonderful week. Be sure to create, write, paint, sew, bake and find something beautiful to share.

Your stool, and the table, is absolutely gorgeus, both, and each in its own way- so beautifull, -you had your wonderfull hands do magic, again, Sissie.
Do you know that those ducks, are great eaters of those big brown "killer" snails,-that Europe is owerflowed by ,the last many summers::: do You have them in US,too???they eat all green they can find--therefore :killer snails-
Not a beautifull subject-sorry sweet.

OH my I want it all...Including the ducks...I miss my mascovies...and that is a fine looking pair.
I also see why you are keeping that print...it is just delightful, I would love to have that one hanging in my house also.

You found them, covered one and painted the others all over the weekend? And it's still Sunday? You work fast! I'd still be looking at them wondering what to do with the stool and should I paint the frame and should I do anything to the desk or let it be. LOL They're all neat, but the chandelier... Ahhhhh.
Yes, I would keep that print too. Love the frame shabbied. Great chandy!
Oh Sissie what great finds!!!!
I love the stool you redid and the desk. The picture is sweet to.
Thank you for sharing!
Enjoy your day!

What great finds, Sissie! That desk is so neat, I really love pieces that not only look good, but are functional, as well. And I sure hope those ducks didn't make it to your shop:)!

Hi Sissie!
Great finds! That desk is charming! I'd love to have a piece like that! I'd buy it, yesterday! Cute stool, chandi and print! I'm thinking my bedroom needs a chandelier.
Muscovy ducks, hugh! I didn't know that. They do look like chickens, haha!

and thank you so much for this duck siting info! We just saw one of these odd fellows yesterday along the berm of the highway and wandered what it was. we both immediately said "turkey buzzard" but then my husband said "I think it's some kind of strange duck". I will email him this link!!
Happy week to you!
