Happy Easter

 

Okay...Check This Out...

All that font changin' and color addin' can be found at:

Windows Live Writer

You have to sign up (as usual) and then download a simle program...but it actually publishes to your blog for you! I open up a word document, use whatever color and font I want and copy & paste into their Blogger format. Really easy....so far. There's lots I haven't done that is available..photo editing and stuff like that...but, I just like being able to change things up a bit. :)

Anyway...Happy Saturday!

Neat-O

I found this cool thing that lets you

do funky stuff to your blog post…

You can change fonts and colors….

Add pictures…

Looks like you can really do just about anything!

I’ll let you know all about it once I have it figured out…

What's Going On Now??

Before I get to that, let me show you this. I found this dark brown wicker sleigh thing at the thrift store and thought it would make a sweet plant holder. I don't have any before pictures (I always forget that part) but here it is after a couple coats of KILZ...

After using some "Ballet Pink" spray paint, it now looks like this! Not quite done...my plans include some old music sheets and stuff as the inside liner, but I am liking the way it looks so far!

And, that brings me to this sweet little oak chair. Once belonged to a woman who is 82 years old now and she says she sat it in when she was "a wee tiny thing".







And, both of those things bring me to this picture posted a few days back. This is My Mom & Her Sister...look at those dirty knees!




So...what's going on now? Some of you may know that my sister and I once owned a primitve country shop here in FL called "When Pigs Fly" and after moving on from that we joined forces once again to become "Bad Girls of the South". We haven't done much over the last couple of years, but we are working on putting things together and hope that you will join us on our journey!






We are involved in the Mount Dora Antiques and Trades Fair this weekend here in Central FL and have got our new blog full of info...so please stop by and visit us sometime. And if you are in this area, we hope you will come out and see everyone! The weather is supposed to be beautiful on Saturday...what a great way to start your Spring!!

Thanks...you guys rock!

You Know How It Is

You see something and you just can't stop thinking about it. How it was made, how it looks, what if you just changed one little thing....I do this all the time and it makes me nuts. So, I took a bit of a mental health break yesterday and put something together, based on something else I saw...somewhere.

I got this little old medicine bottle at the thrift store for $1.25 and it has been sitting in my "space" for a month or so. I needed to give a small token to a friend and decided to do something with this, just 'cause I know she loves this stuff, too. So...I dropped in a few pearls of different shapes and sizes. Not real pearls, but some kind of aged looking ones....

I had made these bird's nests out of pearls and silver wire...one 22 gauge and one 26 gauge...and wanted to add them somehow. Now...I saw these on another beautiful blog and I cannot for the life of me remember where. If these look similar to any you have seen in your blog travels, please let me know so I can give credit where credit is due. Her instructions were so easy to follow! ***http://www.justsomethingimade.com/*** Posted 3.2.09 Thanks, Cathe!!

After adding a piece of vintage sheet music and a picture of birds, I tried to place the nest...

But...I had this cool old button' that had the same color of pearls and just a couple of rhinestones, and it seemd to fit better.

Let's not stop trying...I really wanted to use that nest! A bit of vintage Christmas tinsel as a backdrop, maybe??? I really am all about the shiny stuff...

I had to admit it...the button looked better and it was the right color and the little brown feathers just blended in so sweetly. But are ya lovin' that piece of tinsel in the top?? :)

And They Just Keep Happenin'....

What??? Another giveaway by my special friend, Sandi! This giveaway is so exciting...because we don't-even-know what she's giving away!! That's right...it's a secret...and who can resist that??

So..do yourself a favor and get on over to Holding Patterns and visit with Sandi, leaving a comment which will then enter you in the giveaway drawing...easy peasy. :)

Happy Spring!
