$3 is My Lucky Number

Hi guys!!!!
Were you worried that I've fallen off the face of the Earth?
 I know I've been MIA lately but I've been working on a few different things.
A couple pieces of furniture that I picked
up the past couple weeks while garage-salin' for $3 a piece.

First there's this dresser ... seems like dressers are drawn to me lately
Here's what he looked like the day I bought him
What sold me on him, beside the price, were the vintage brass cup handles
Sweet, right?
After AAHHHLOT of work, here's what he looks like right now
I need to replace the bottoms of both the bottom drawers and find handles (the rope handles are temporary - The Hubby HATES em') before
I write my blog post on it but the transformation is amazing

Next, I picked up this $3 wing back chair at another garage sale
See, $3 IS my lucky number
The first thing that drew me to it was it's back
I noticed the Oriental toile fabric, which I think is original, on the arms
I've already started to remove the old fabric from the wing backs
I'm not quit sure but I don't think the toile is on the rest of the chair so I'm
waiting to decide what I'm gonna do to finish it ... 

Look at it's frame. Isn't it pretty
Also wonderin' if I should paint it. I'm thinkin' YES : )

Lastly, I've been makin' some goodies for my Etsy Store 

Here's a few examples ...
Some jewelry ...
 Some handprinted towels ...
and a few cute charms that will be making it on some jewelry soon ...
 Anywhoo, that's what I've been up to. I haven't fallen off the face of the Earth

Just keepin' busy ...

How you doin'? (in my BEST Joey voice)

I'm partying at:
Coastal Charm

Three definitely is your lucky number! Can't wait to see the chair when you're finished with it! And you know, I can't remember where I got the lavender from my last post. It might have been SaveonCrafts.com. =)

Go Yanks!
