We have had this stored for about three year and just getting it out!  But, the best part is we picked up some drawers on the curbside a couple of weeks ago and the paint matched...so now it is complete!

Projects for the Auction

This is one that I did myself. We are having the trim on our 1869 home repaired and repainted. This little piece looked like it could be a Halloween witch. So, I placed it in a old box to be filled with fall pumpkins, Indian corn or flowers, I brushed on a little black paint to emphasis the pointed hat and body, then I took some old typewriter keys to add the buttons down the front that are the date of the house 1869.

This is a childs table and chairs. The table has a game board on top and the two chairs--one says Bobby the other Sally
