FOR THE LOVE OF JUNK

Wonderful trip

            Last Thursday I decided to go in a scavenger hunt. I sold a couple of big display pieces so I was kind of desperate. The place I wanted to visit the most was closed for inventory restock so I decided to just drive around and hope. We stop at my friend's Amy store. This is without a doubt one of the most beautiful stores in all Texas. Every single detail have been address and every nook is  beautiful and so well thought off. I can stay hours in this store. After visiting Amy's store I just wanted to come home and decorate, her store is so inspiring. If you ever make it to Waco TX, you must make stopping at Bloom and Bee Swanky a must. Don't you just love that name? See and tell me what you think.









 Amy makes the most amazing clothes for her Santos and body forms out of coffee filters and paper.
 If you have visit my blog before you all know I'm a doll collector. This are all just dreamy.



                                          Wouldn't you love to have a headboard like that?

               Lace everywhere. If you like the romantic style this is the place to come.
 Find Amy at beeswanky.com or if you are in Texas her store is by the Dr Pepper Museum at 210 South 5 th ST. Waco, TX.

    I wanted to include one last picture of my latest project. I found this apothecary in San Antonio over the weekend. We were supposed to be shopping for the shop but I don't think I want to part with this one for now. Can you blame me? See the potential? She just need a makeover  and I think she will clean up well. I clean the last 4 drawers in the bottom left and I can see the difference. I don't necessarily have the space, I'm going to make it fit. The bottom piece was all green like the bottom drawer. I have been sanding for the last 2 days and still have ways ahead of me. I will show you the after picture as soon as I get it done. I also found tons of beautiful things over the weekend in San Antonio. I will post those in days to come. Thanks for stopping and visit and your comments mean so much to me.
