A junkfest, and an old friend revisited!

Ive been anxious to get out junking again, so come along with me....

(click on the photos to enlarge)

To think, I found it all in my backyard!!

Am I embarrassed to show you all this? Well apparently not, it is still all here! Hoping to get some things cleaned up, and into my ebay store and studio before I go away.

As promised.....

And here she is, 'Curvy Lady'...whilst away the past 6 months ,waiting for her makeover, who would have a thought I would find another one just like her, but little! Actually, Sue gave me this one too. So of course I had to get them together, and tizzy them up!

Curvy Lady's little one!

Movin' on out, hubby that is!!

I've claimed the whole office space, well it was only a matter of time....Do you remember how much he had anyway? I moved his desk out into the family / dining room. Miss Ris, our 17yr old, is hubby's secretary / sales consultant, and she prefers the desk there, it is closer to the fridge!There's already too much furniture and 'stuff' in there, but it will have to do until we have a better solution. Hubby suggested I throw out some junk, and there would be plenty of room for 5 desks! HOW RUDE!! He's probably right, but I would never admit that to him! ( Im sure a few of you can relate).

So I set to work, and reorganised my mess so I could finally have a work space, and desk. When Im creating indoors, I tend to rummage through fabric, and it rarely gets put back. Im thinking of having shelving in the robe area to store my fabrics so I can see them.The suitcases might look good, but are definitely not practical.I always find what Im looking for in the last one, why is that?

I have been busy cleaning and reorganising everywhere, kind of like a springclean you might say, but in the middle of our summer. I found plenty to put in my ebay store, and Junkstudio. I love clutter, but sometimes I just need to let go of some things, I am sick of cleaning them and fighting for space to cook, and sit, and sleep, truly!

Sue is coming up for the weekend so we are junking, and shopping for chooks! We are heading over the mountains to Little Hartley.It is a cute 'little' town, slower pace, friendly people, and definitely great junkshops!

I havent really been junking for a while, I have so much here, and Im sure, no, hubby is sure it breeds! Though I did come across some gorgeous tablecloths I just had to have.One is embroidered linen, absolutely perfect, the other is vintage, the colours are just devine. I also bought this shabby chic curtain, it is sheer and the roses look so pretty! Ive decide to sell this one, as it doesnt really suit my decor, so it will go into Junkstudio. These timber stands were also a recent purchase which will come in handy in the studio, and at $10 for the two, I cant go wrong!

I managed to throw together a stand for 'Curvy Lady', consisting of a gorgeous piece of turned timber, maybe from a chair or railing(found it in my collection of bits), and the bottom part is from a birdcage stand...so now we are ready to decorate!

Our daughter arrived safely in Ghana, Africa, and after orientation, will meet up with her host family she will live with for the two months. We have spoken a couple of times, it is hard to believe she is there, a wish come true! So keeping busy will help pass the time!

And now , to clean the studio, and prepare for customers!

Do you see what I see?

How gorgeous is this...can you see what I see? It is a wire basket, maybe for holding flowers, decorations, all sorts of things! It also collapses when not in use...but I see a lovely ,curvy woman! A stand through her middle, some glam and glimmer , and wella! I snapped it up from my friend Sue, before it reached the sale table!

Stay tuned, and I will post photos when the curvy lady is revealed!

By the way, in case you are interested, and local, Im opening the studio doors on Wednesdays and Saturdays leading up to Christmas, by appointment only.So gather a group together, and you may find those last minute gifts!

Check my website for contact details.

I have had a few orders to fill this week, 6 to be precise! I managed to take a photo of this one before they all went to good homes! They are a lot of fun, and easy to make, and just look so cute in the garden, though my son did ask ,' How will the bird get in'? I had to explain to him, again, it is decoration! He just doesnt get it, not everything is practical,and functional!Well not here anyway!LOL

Lastly, I just finished this lovely setting for two, and it will be listed tonite here. I love how it turned out, but the tray top is going to be hard to part with! I have a collection of these, and I especially love this one...but after searching for the perfect tabletop for a couple of months, I had to make the tough decision, it matches perfectly! The cushions were covered with barkcloth I had stored away, and the table is actually a birdcage stand! It is a good hieght, and perfect for 'tea for two'!

Mmmm, any suggestions for a name for my Curvy lady?
