Keith and I thrifted this seafoam vintage couch chair last week, trailered it home in a rainstorm and put it in my living room! It doesn't even smell old, score!!
I also found an old man standing workbench with sweet storage underneath :] I love to stand while working because I'm always back and forth grabbing supplies as the ideas come.
On the weekend, I completely transitioned the dining room into my studio. Freckled Nest is busier than ever and I needed to make space for all my projects and give myself some mental space :) I love the different sections and that all my furniture is old or vintage :)
PS> If anyone has a used Mac External Hard drive they'd like to sell me, please email me at FreckledNest@gmail.com
I have been working on a new Website for Rachel Denbow over the past few weeks and it is now complete :) I am completely in love with it, and I love how it feels "so Rachel". She renamed Bling on my Sewing Machine to "Smile and Wave" and is now offering ad space (which I will be managing for her). I'm excited about the opportunities this new makeover open up for her :) Go visit, and enter her giveaway before Thursday :)

(ps. I'm planning a blog makeover of FreckledNest.com in the next few months... I can't wait to show you what I'm coming up with!)
pps. Thanks Joe the Pro for another great makeover partnership!
...and it gave me happy tears, just like I get for Wheel of Fortune winners :)
(Thanks for showing me this Martha! I'd never seen this, and yes, I'm tearing! I love how she runs and falls against her husband.)

The girls in our family went Strawberry Picking yesterday and holy fun! Like, so special, I'll remember it forever :)
Olivia and Kennedy picked me flowers :)
I picked them Strawberries :) They pretty much sat with me the whole day b/c I took the stems off for them (if they sat with "the Moms" they were told to pick their own and take off the stems)
(Matt gave me permission to show this! EEEEK! I told him, for Christmas, the coolest gift = I would like to be allowed to show my pictures of the girls... I have so many great ones! He seemed to imply he'd consider it for the future...then I'll add Amanda to the list ;) :)
Mom, you were glowing yesterday! I think you are happiest in sunny nature :)
Together, we picked 5 baskets... and probably ate a whole basket while we picked ;)
Last, we picked raspberries and I drifted off into dreamland :) I was so content and relaxed in my own row... walking, feeling the wind, eating berries off the bushes :] I had a great day off!
They had an oldschool metal park at the strawberry farm... real teeter-totters, hallowed out trucks, barrels to swing in, fast slides :) After O&K, Mom and I went on the Teeter Totter together... loved it!
This is my new favorite future pet. I've made a goal to raise a mini-pony when I'm 40 :)
I fell in love with him, and he was pretty smitten with me :]
Plus, he actually held poses for photos!
I can't wait to go Strawberry Picking again next year :)
I put this vintage letter organizer in the shop last night, and it sold within an hour! It's that pretty :)
It's Monday again :) One of my favorite days of the week; there's so much room ahead for things to happen and things to get done :) Today I'm diving into a big to-do list that will take all week to do, and I'm excited :]
Btw, I'm not poor right now! Keith sold his car and shared the love :) All my bills are caught up and business is going very good :) Thank you everyone for supporting Freckled Nest! You are part of my dream come true!
We took Kennedy and Olivia to the mall yesterday. They are such great kids!! Highlight was watching them eat Pink Icecream, they had it on their noses and everything ;)
Lovin the colors in my purse this week :)
Keith has been hugging me so good, there's lift off!
I giggle so much :)

I've lost about 10 pounds lately, and am feeling very happy about that :)

Now we're off to get coffee, go to the Flea Market and some garage sales, then tonight I'm working :)
A perfect day! Happy Sunday everyone :)
Jill and I reading Uppercase together at the Craft Sale last night.
The craft show went well, and was in a really beautiful venue.
Best part: they sold buttons in the gift shop...and I found some really pretty ones :]
But it got better, Jennifer from the Museum noticed my blee(button+glee), and mentioned they had 2 large containers of buttons in the back. I was like, "LET'S GO GET THEM! I'll HELP YOU!"...lol. It was fun, everyone dug thru them, and enjoyed a common obsession :]
Afterwards, Jill, Keith and me went for drinks and had appetizers for supper ;)
I'm in Uppercase's Etsy Section this issue :] Thanks Janine!!
My Etsy is quite happy right now...

Bonus! First 2 people spending $50(before shipping) will recive a cd case and mixtape :]
I hope you're really inspired :]
