White Wednesday...

in Black and White...

Thank you Lisa for the Honest Scrap Award...it was fun to share 10 things about us!

We will think who to pass it to and post the list later, because we know that many of the bloggers we enjoy and admire have already received it.
In the meantime, don't forget to visit Faded Charm for more White Wednesday inspiration!

Of finished projects....

Busy, busy week!!...
And hopefully full of transformations as we need to get ready for our Friday Sale at La Maison Rustique and a Customer's Family Room Makeover.

So here are the first two projects we finished today:
Vintage tray transformed into an adorable blackboard.

Displayed on an easel and surrounded by very stylish pumpkins, our simple project helps the family know what's for dinner tonight!

We love the vintage feel from the silver "frame"...

Our second transformation of the day involves a couple of stools...

nothing wrong with them...
but they were very predictable and too "Tommy Bahamas" for the look we are going for...
a couple of yards of yummy goldish chenille later ...

...and the same stools are ready to show a much needed updated look...
They will look fab in the room , you'll see...stay tuned!

Junkin' Monday #5

Welcome!!

It's hard to get out of the house early in the morning...but I'm so glad that Sister Extraordinaire insists on hitting the Estates Sales as early as possible.

One quick drive, 2 sales, plenty of goodies!!...

Vintage jewelry...lately, we can't have enough of these pretties....
Can you see the sweet blush color material and fab lace on the bottom?... A vintage slip too cute for words!

A lovely cup....

Just a peek at a vintage purse with the finest embroidery work and some vintage trim so beautiful that we don't dare to use in any project...we will let someone else enjoy the whole piece...that's love!

Vintage monogrammed pillow case...
An urn with the best rusty patina ever!...

And that metal aqua thingy...we had to have it! even when we are not sure what it is...

Our guess is a vintage rubber stamp holder...

Shabby-ed to perfection!!!

And talking about shabby, rusty and patina...how about this wonderful metal stand?
It was used as a plant stand, but we can imagine it indoors holding from pumpkins to statuary pieces...

And to top it all off, a glass cloche.
Can you say "cute vignette"?

We found a lot more and we will be showing it later this week when we blog about the next SALE.
Did we get your attention? Good!
The next La Maison Rustique sale is this coming weekend, October 9th and we will be there!

If possible, you should too...we guarantee that you will find treasures worth blogging about.
But now, come on...show us...what did you find this week?

Cheers to a week full of inspiration!

Fall is in the air....

...even in Southern California...

Nights are getting cooler and our necks are in serious need of a little warmth...so we decided to knit the softest scarves ever!

We embellished them with vintage scraps, vintage buttons and vintage rhinestones for fun and sparkle...

and they turned out as cute, feminine and original as they can be!!

Just a little coziness for a night out in the town...

and the best thing is that now you can have your own by clicking HERE!

More colors being listed soon!

A soft scarf...a fun, romantic date...a good movie (popcorn and chocolate a must!)...how is that for a weekend plan?
