It's about time!!

I've been busy. Well, I've been doing something I should have done for months. Since January 2012, I've been working on my Temari balls and tea towels. Ok, old news I know.
Well, I started an Etsy store account months ago and have been selling...nothing! Wonder why? Because I had nothing for sale on my virtual shelves.  I spent several hours inputting pics and data and finally...Finally...opened my shop.  Hope it looks okay. :-)

I feel like I should put up some pics of some thing I have been working on.
For my birthday in December, my wonderful daughter took me to a nearby city where they have lots of thrift stores. We went to lunch and spent the day going from store to store.  In the last one we went to, I found a cute little cabinet. I think it was once a jewelry box. Isn't it cute? But it needs legs so it can stand in my downstairs powder room and hold a candle without burning the wall behind it.


See the drawers? They were lined with some kind of felt or something.

 

And of course, the top. Just a bit of a hard life. Holding all that jewelry was a tough gig.


So far, I've removed the two small top drawers and turned that into a shelf (I'm thinking for hand towels or whatever), removed the hardware, pulled the lining out of the two bottom shelves and sanded the whole thing down.  Oh, and added some cute legs.  So far, so good. I'll take more pics and share the finish.

Thanks for listening!
