Hi friends,

I am getting excited about decorating my cozy corner for Christmas soon, but before I do, I need room to set up my displays in my booth🎄🤶

BOTTOM LINE: I need my space cleared out!!
I marked all my refurbished pieces down and they are ready for someone to take them home, give them a good life and enjoy them🤗

Current offerings:

1) Antique REAL WOOD Hall Tree: painted in Fusion’s Homestead Blue. This item is a conversation piece, but also adds organization to any entry. There is a mirror (semi cloudy due to age) for last minute looks, 12 Gold hooks for organization and a seat for putting on your shoes along with hidden storage for dog leashes, hats, gloves. Very sturdy. Semi heavy, need at least SUV.
$110

2) Tall spindled entry table painted in Fusion’s Lichen (Sage). This table is REAL WOOD, sturdy, but light. It has detailed legs and 1 single drawer lined in a paprika plush with a new Black handle. You can shove your mail and keys in the drawer, but stay organized and things out of sight. Add a mirror for an elevated look. This table is a useful accent table. It has floral and bird details that will add character to your space. It has a wax top coat for durability and protection.
A nature person would appreciate this table!
$68 Light, car to haul, grab and go item.

3) Craftman style REAL WOOD end table. The wide top is painted in Fusion’s Coal Black with 2 coats of poly for durability. The base is stained in a rich Walnut. The top drawer is lined with pretty paper and has original Bronze ring hardware. The 2 smaller side drawers are not lined, but freshened up with Howard’s Restore. They have 2 new Bronze round k***s.
This table is meaty and will last you a long time.
Semi-heavy, car to haul, grab and go item.
$68

4) Round REAL WOOD Oak table. Top painted in Fusion’s Lichen (Sage). This table is neutral with a base stained in a Dark Walnut gel stain with built in poly. There is a small lower shelf for display purposes. This table will fit in a space saving area next to your favorite chair or use as a nightstand. Think of this table as your staple little Black dress that goes with everything.
Light, car to haul, grab and go item.
$48

5) VINTAGE Cottage Core set of REAL WOOD end tables. Painted in Wise Owl One Hour Enamel LeatherWood (neutral Taupe). Legs are detailed, decorative and add character. One drawer for organization of books or remote, lined in a pretty paper, has new round ceramic Taupe extra large k**b.
The tops have a Brown laminate inlay, which I love because there is no worries for drinks and snacks on the table top!
Light, car to haul. Grab and go item.
$135/pair

As you can see, my furnishings are useful, intentional, nice AND pretty. They were either on the curb headed to the landfill or a MP find. Some were definitely projects that needed a lot of care. I feel like I have brought them back to life for others to enjoy.
My items are also very AFFORDABLE pieces of everyday furniture. I take great pride in selling a good product and I am proud of my work.

Thank you for your consideration! I appreciate a like, a share a follow as I build my side business.

Hi there…OMG, WE MADE IT!!! I do not know about you, but I was hanging by a thread. What gave me peace was going up to my cozy corner and resetting for the weekend. I get much joy from being around old things…old, pretty, useful, and unique things from the past. I like to think about how old something is and what life it has been through, what purpose it had for someone and the fact that it is in good condition after decades is a true testament of how tough it is…how tough life is, but also how things were made to last…buying Vintage is just smart.

The Outlets are getting dressed up for the holidays…the big Christmas tree is going up and some wreath on the store fronts are being hung!!

I have marked a lot of items down and will switch things up at the beginning of the month so come and get some cool pieces for a good deal.

As always, THANK YOU you for supporting my side hustle. I appreciate it.

The BLUE Ladybug is located inside Words and Music-Birch Run Outlets.

MONDAY MOOD:

ONE OF A KIND ART!!!

There’s some really good paintings with beautiful frames in my booth right now for Fall. Not mass production, just some one sitting down with a canvas and some paint and some creativity. It amazes me when an artist brings what is in their head to the canvas. And when you find a message from the artist on the back, that is a special treat!

Purchase at the BLUE Ladybug vendor space inside Words and Music-Birch Run Outlets.

Shopping Hours today: 10am-6pm

Have a great week friends🤗

Look at this beautiful Avon pressed glass butter dish from the 1970’s!!!👀👀👀👀

Platter dish and glass dome are in perfect condition with no chips or cracks.
That is amazing since it is over 50 years old!!
Previous owner def took care of it🤗

This dish could be used daily or put on a shelf as decor because it is just that pretty. I would feel so fancy if my butter was in this😁
