Winter is a good time to work on projects

Hello everyone,welcome to winter. For me this is a good time to get upholstery done. I don't want to be inside working in the basement in the summer months! I recently did 2 little stools. 



I love doing little stools.I have oodles of the crewel fabric,it is the real thing, done in India. It will for sale at Christie. See the end for all the show dates.

Happy Vintage New Year to you all !!


What a strange Christmas,I hope I never repeat it. I got sick on the 17th and I only got up to go to Christmas and went back to bed when I got home. I never saw my sisters as their houses had no power and they didn't want to leave them. Sandra's power was off 6 days,Barb's 4,but she had to deal with a huge ice covered tree that had been falling on her house. 5 days later it was all down but no more places to put the debris!
   I had a lovely time at Judy and Ted's but even they felt weird that the rest of the group was missing.
    In December my friend told me about an online auction of all the props from the TV series,"The Copper." It was about a policeman in New York city in 1850's. I got some wonderful things but the best are these lovely gilt chairs. I used them this week but they are for sale.


Now that winter is here,I need to get organized for the busy summer months. I am cleaning up my upholstery room and I got great plastic boxes at Walmart. 5 boxes for 5 bucks. Perfect for lace bits, embroidered bits,buttons,trim etc. Run don't walk and get some to tidy up your workplace.
That is about all I buy at Walmart, organizers and cat food!




So that is all,I am going shopping tommorrow,maybe I will have something to post after my trip
