Well how-de-doo Bloggerettes! Are you ready to get the Holiday Season up and running? Yep, I thought so. I've been waiting to show you this and it's a good thing Dianne at Miss Minnie's Antiques took a photo.....cause, it sold a few days after I took it into the shop!
I found this cutie at the auction. It was painted a very bright blue, so what better to do than tone it down a little. So I sanded away. Painted the top and sides a creamy white and dry brushed the drawer fronts and the hardware.
I added these shutters to my livingroom....
Our entire family has been under the weather for the past several days but we did mange to have a nice Thanksgiving. Hope you did too.
Miss Minnie's Antiques and Fancy Flea customers were buying like crazy yesterday. So, now it's time to "fluff the booths!"
~~hugs~~

Great job on the dresser...just the right touch of blue. Good to hear that folks are shopping antiques...that will keep you busy. Hope you have lots of success at Miss Minniesthis holiday season.
Love what you did with the chest of drawers! It's gorgeous - I am not surprised it sold fast! The shutters look perfect! I hope your family gets well soon - our daughter is trying to catch something! It is hard when someone gets sick around this time of the year!
Hope you have a blessed week,
Kathy
I hope you and the family feel better soon. Just love what you did to the chest. Just beautiful.
Beautiful chest of drawers! I like it much better with the toned down effect! Hope you and your family is feeling better!~Hugs, Patti
Just gorgemous, Sissie!

That chest was pretty. I was thinking it was a little different painting than you usually do, more contrast. I love the color blue lately...and this chest looks great, so I guess that is why it sold! Glad you had brisk sales Sissie!
so glad people were buying like crazy!
If I could get my new {to me} dresser to look like that, it would go in my master so well, Sissie! I may have to play with paint a bit, I think. Love the shutters, I'm looking for a pair myself. Hoping to find them today at my local place. I hope you are feeling better so you can fluff your booth. I'm sure this is just the beginning of the gift buying season at your place!
I am so glad people are spending money at the Flea! Yippee!!
The dresser turned out beautifully.
I hope you are feeling much better today!
Love,

Have fun fluffing! I hope everyone is feeling better today. That dresser is so sweet, I can see why it got swooped up, and the shutters are perfect! I could kick myself for passing some up a month or so ago. (had the hubby with me and well, I couldn't get EVERYTHING that I wanted!LOL) Have a fabulous day! t.xoxo

Wonderful job on the chest I can see why it sold so quickly. Hope everyone is feeling better soon.
Good morning Sissie,
I hope your family is feeling better. Hubby and I had a bug a couple of weeks ago but better now.
I like your shabby shutters and the sweet little white bottle brush wreath hanging on it! Keep your eye on that wing back chair! I am lovin it! Have a delightful weekend.
Blessings and hugs,
Sandi
That chest of drawers is so amazing! I am sorry you were all under the weather! I felt awful Thanksgiving Day morning! Then I heard someone say Andrew is coming up the driveway with the baby!!! No more aches or pains for this happy Grand! I scooped that baby away from his mama and daddy and just melted into him! He is so cute! I need to post pictures!
You are one terrific lady! I love love love knowing you! Hugs Anne
Hi Sissie....I came over to catch up on your posts. Your house looks lovely for the holidays. Congratulations on winning the sign from Paula. She is amazing...just like you! The shutter you hung looks very pretty with the white wreath.

Have fun fluffing your booths!

I sure hope you feel better soon! Take care! ♥
Love the shutters and the dresser--my best friend was sick over the holidays and I was with her so I have been overdosing on vitamen C. Hope everyone in your family is feeling better!
Hi Sissie,
Sorry there has been illness in your family, but happy to hear you enjoyed your Thanksgiving in spite of it.
I like the dresser. It's hard to picture it a bright blue. I also like where you hung the shutter. What color was it when you bought it and what technique did you use for it? I love shutters!
Hugs,
Nancy
I love this piece! I'm not surprised it sold so quickly! I hope everyone is feeling better now! Take care!
Well, Sissie- What DOES one do with a bright blue piece 'cept paint it? I can see why someone snapped it up quick!
Love your shutter(s)..and I'm glad you managed a decent Thanksgiving if you were under the weather. Hope everyone is better by now! xo Diana
Pretty makeover on the dresser. I really like the shutters too. I hope you all feel better and your illness doesn't linger. Have a great weekend!
The chest is fabulous! I worked yesterday at our mall to help with the sale, we estimated 1500 shoppers all lined up! They don't pay us we just do it for fun and to help out! Hope you all are feeling better!

Hi Sissie, the chest is lovely and I just adore the shutters. We have some old ones in the attic that I have asked my husband to take down so I can redo them. He was hoping I had forgotten. Haha.
Hoping you feel better really soon!
Hugs, Barb

Sissy, thanks for stopping by and the kind words. I hope to be around more often now and get back into the swing of things again. Love your site. Missed all of this so much, but I just have so little energy that its hard for me to get into doing much.
So looking forward to seeing what is going on in the bloggy world. Take Care
