I'm all set up at My Kid's Attic consignment sale! MUCHAS GRACIAS to Abbie my dear friend (from the fourth grade???- who is also my definite go to for all things resourceful.) Who totally helped me set up. It took a while! (its a given that a thanks, as usual, also goes to the wonderful hubs who built me a base for said bow holding structure and totally helped me by keeping the kids...) It was totally an afterthought, so I will have to adjust the back with stripes and an additional sign...as it turns out I made too many bows in true to Ashley form...so here we are! Two sides. Wish me luck and show a gal some love if you live locally.

If you read my homepage, you saw where I visited a new flea market this week. Our bedroom has been a years-long work in progress, and I am still not sure this will finish it off, officially, anyway. It just kept coming in last because we keep having babies.

Which begs the question...is anything ever actually finished? To that I would give a definitive no. Eventually I want to build my own bed, and our ceiling in our current house does not allow for what I want to do. (I have a major plan.) That and a swanky chandelier... Anyway, I found two lamps for EIGHT DOLLARS. They're these great old heavy brass patina-ed lamps. At first glance I thought I may paint them. But then I realized people pay good money for this look. So the old look I will keep...

It's nothing a new lampshade can't remake into something fabulous. I love the classic shape. Did I mention that? And for eight dollars. That's a pair. Four dollars Each. Quite possibly my favorite find yet. (In the lighting category...) I'm so good at math.

I can't wait to show you what these shades from Target did in their natural habitat to be (our bedroom) They really snazz the area up...

Symmetry at its 4-bucks-a-pop finest. Which begs another question: why always pay big money for the snobbery when you can have the reward of finding your own treasures? Which can look just as wonderful? Perhaps we should discuss.

I was ready to leave when I found these: Apparently kirkland's threw up. Twice.

Brace yourselves.

Some people may shun me for painting over such, uh beauty. But I do fully intend to reinvent these awesome little side tables. They were the perfect height for my bedroom and in the right shade, will make a great addition! Maroon and gold never looked so good for the price I paid. 

I'll be pouring over paint chips in the meantime. Again, the shapes were just perfect.

mmmmm mmmuuuuummmmssss. Much to Jamin's dismay, I picked some up at Home Depot yesterday. 3 bucks each! I then decided to engage in a little mini project I've been wanting to try...you can find the full out tutorial over at Marthastewart.com but the jist of it is to mark off some clay pots with painters tape, take some cream spray paint, and with short, quick bursts, paint up some new pots for yourself. I already had these things just lyind around so it was like new pots for free. Mine were a bit botched because it started to rain on me and I had to jerk them up and bring them inside. BOOO. no one would be able to tell, though, unless I simply posted them in large via the internet, or if the mail lady decided to examine my potted plants...anyway, I highly recommend. Quick. Easy. Fun. And they look pretty good, even if mine are a little ghetto...

Happy Labor Day Weekend!
