Black and White Pumpkins

Well I am back from my break~  My to do list has gotten shorter and I feel as if I have gotten some things accomplished.  One hundred and seventy little goody bags for all you sweet Silver Bella gals are complete.  I was also able to start on some Fall decorating.  I painted a few pumpkins black and white, I like how they turned out.  They are a quick project for fall decorating.  Be sure to pick out a firm pumpkin.  When cleaning them up be sure not to get the stem or bottom wet.   I chose spray paint this time and it worked out well~ 

 

                        

Fall Break

Wow things are busy here at 125 Grant St.   Between career,family,"little shop",projects, etc.    That is what makes everything fun right~  I will be away from the blog for awhile.  I need to focus my attention on work, family and the "little shop".   I have some fun projects to complete.  First is my package for the Sweet and Sinister swap.  Kim is my partner and it has been a wonderful treat to get to know her~  I need to finish putting together 175 goody bags for Silver Bella, these will be advertising Honey Bend Vintage.  Starting Monday morning I have a to do list and blogging is not on it for a few weeks.   One of the things on my list is Fall decorating.  I love these ideas fromthe Home Companion magazine~  See y'all soon!

We have a little of this and a little of that

If you have not been by "the little shop" please stop by.  Our site has been redesigned and I am so happy with it.  I purchased pre made template when I started the shop and I finally had it redesigned to mirror my style.  The focus for me is the farmhouse at the top of the page and the name.  The house pictured was at my great grandparents farm in Honey Bend, Illinois.  Honey Bend is a small farm community in Illinois, if you blink you miss it.  It was so important to my Dad, it is now his resting place.  When I opened the shop a name was no problem,  Honey Bend Vintage was the perfect fit~

If you have a chance stop by we have added a little of this and a little of that~

Honey Bend Vintage Redesign

Stop over to Honey Bend Vintage we just completed a little remodel.  We have also found some new finds and will be updating throughout the weekend~

Inspired Ideas

I was super excited to visit Inspired Ideas Magazine.   Miss Amy at Inspire Company is a wonderful talent.  Honey Bend Vintage found it's way there for a product placement in her magazine.   Look at the beauty she created from a cottage I sell at the "little shop".  I was happy to sell out and have placed an order for more.  Amy is having a giveaway for this cutie, visit her blog to sign up Inspire Co.    I am off to take a picture of a treasue filled cone that  Amy will giving away a bit later~
