Caring for Carter!

I am so excited for this Saturday! I get to participate in a great event for a great family. Saturday, May 5th (for those of you in the Brandon area), Caring for Carter will be held at Shiloh Park in Brandon. This is a benefit for a little boy who God has used to change lives already even though he is only one and a half years old! Check out their bog http://www.littlegiftcarter.blogspot.com/ to learn more about this amazing boy and his amazing parents. Check out the blog for the Caring for Carter benefit

There will be lots going on this Saturday but what I am most excited about is my first booth for All Things Beautiful! I have been busy trying to get things together! Below you will find most of the things I will be showcasing on Saturday. There is too much to take individual pictures but I think you get the idea! Let me know if you are interested in anything or want more information for the benefit!

Lots of New Stuff!

I haven't posted pictures on here in a while. That doesn't mean I haven't been very busy! I took a little break from All Things Beautiful for two big reasons. #1 I moved into my new house and it needed a lot of work, so my efforts were focused there. #2 It gets dang hot in Mississippi in the summer and my garage is
like a stinkin' hot box! So, after it cooled off some and I got all my projects in my house done I was ready for those creative juices to flow again. Below you will find all the projects I have been working on over the last couple of months. I did several projects for friends (my favorite kind of project) and those are shown below too! Hope you enjoy!



Before and After of a cabinet door, repurposed into a message center. Chalkboard on top, cork on the bottom and beadboard key hooks in the middle.


16x20 Chalkboard. $25.


Before and After of a flea market find. Not sure what it was before but now it is a tall, narrow chalkboard. $25.

First Big "Show"

I am excited because "All Things Beautiful" is traveling to Brandon Elementary! My principal has agreed to let me bring my things to school and sell! I am taking about 20 items with me and I am excited to see what kind of interest there is! Here are the last few things that I have recently finished up! As always, let me know if you are interested in any of it?

This is a header from a building in Memphis (or so I was told). It has four antique doorknobs and could be used as a great coat rack! $45








This framed chalkboard would make a great message center. I love this one....I think it's so cute! :) And it's only $15!










This is a large shutter with a chalkboard. It has two coat hooks and four key hooks! It is $75
















This is a door from the house my grandmother grew up in. I am really excited about this project. I have refinished it and plan on using it as a headboard in my new house!
