Updates

1. Added a few new songs onto our music list! Check them out! One that isn't available yet on Playlist, but IS on iTunes is Hey Soul Sister by Train. Definitely check that one out! I have to give credit to Alex for finding this one.

2. I've finally started working at Flower Patch! I absolutely LOVE it! The first few days I learned to make "wraps" (flowers in celophane) and to clean roses, plus the normal cash register and clocking in type stuff. BUT TODAY I finally got to learn to make basic rose arrangements (in vases)! It is so cool! And seriously, time goes SOO FAST at work. There is NO WAY this should be considered a job!

Keep watching... Still to come: Island Park & more Decorating/Refinishing projects

Yay Tulle

In an earlier post found here I expressed my love for Tulle clothing, and specifically this skirt. Well, good news. Tulle had a huge sale today and that skirt was more than 50% off! So... I ordered it. It's in the cream color and I am SOOO anxious for it to get here. Like my mom says, good skirts are hard to find so you have to get them while you can.

Pride & Joy

JOY
Because I LOVE LOVE LOVE refinishing/decorating projects.

PRIDE

Because I can't lie...I'm very proud of this piece and it is my favorite thing right now!

Here are the before and after pictures of a wing back chair I found at the Rexburg DI while visiting my friend Kelsey.

D.I. Chair

(Ignore the Duct Tape)


Back panel of fabric thrashed by cats I think. The bottom corners were torn and falling off.

and now...

Presenting...


Pretty Chair


Re-upholstered back panel done by myself and Alex


Matching pillow for the front


Now I just have to find a place for it!

A Job to Love

Some exciting news for me... I got a job at the local Flower Patch floral shop! I found out a week and a half ago and I start training tomorrow. I am so excited! I will still work at the furniture store part time, then work this job part time. I don't know for sure yet, but from the few times I have been there I think I'm going to like it! I'm excited to be doing something new, creative, and with my hands. The other employees are ladies and some teenage girls, which will be like my days at the Timeless Treasures (scrapbook store) in CA. It will be fun to work with and get to know them. Really what I'm thinking and hoping is that I'll go to work (at the furniture store), then in my free time I'll go enjoy my new "hobby" at the floral shop. I'll let you know how that goes...
