Hope you are enjoying your day! I finally sat down for a few minutes to do some posts here on the Blog. When I was at the Laconia Antiques Center the other day I saw this gorgeous bed and dresser. I just had to take a pic of it.

This is an old heater grate...I did it in a cool looking finish.

All Available at A Well Kept Secret in Kingston NH

Sweet Aqua Wash Stand (with cut out for the bowl) sold first morning it was in the shop at A WELL KEPT SECRET

This started out as a dull brown plastic frame with a 1970s floral print inside. It has been chicced up with some Sonora Rose paint and has been made over to a Gypsy Chic Chalkboard.

Fabulous Funky and French! That describes this pair of vinyl clad iron chairs. How cool and retro are they!? You can check out this pair at Just The Thing in down town Dover NH!

 

Again, too many days have gone by between postings! Not saying I lead a crazy busy interesting life, just sayin' I have been busy and while some people might think I am interesting I bet more lead toward crazy!
I've been lucky lately to go treasure hunting in some new places, which is always fun and makes the items seem even more special.
The CiderMill antiques shops down in Sterling MA is a great place to spend some time. Just be sure you do have a good amount of time to poke around. 
I also got to meet two FaceBook friends, Steph and Barbie, who have a sweet space called Our Shabby Corner down in N Chelmsford. 
This week I went for the first time to a large group shop up in Laconia NH that used to be the down town JJ Newberry's store. Cool building, stairs to the mezzanine & complete with the original lunch counter and swivel stools!
And I spent a day with THE SISTA hitting an indoors antiques flea market,  a shop up in Concord and a couple yard sales.

Here's some pics of some goodies, some projects, make overs from the last week or so.

A Well Kept Secret

This weekend was the Spring Open House at A Well Kept Secret. Hopefully lots of customers had an enjoyable visit & went home with some treasures.

Here I am doing a redo last Friday. I brought in several items that can be used as planters...the wooden tote, the aqua one, and some wire baskets. The chairs are still available (far as I know) but the aqua wash stand sold first thing.

I am sooo remiss in posting here on my Blog...

...it seems FaceBook gets all my attention! But here are some photos of recent scores, projects, sales & items still available in the shops!

Got these today at Savers Thrift Store...they were flaking & dull & the fabric was dated...so they got painted & got some pretty new fabric on the seats
