Saturday - Behind the Scenes of HDV

It's been another busy week here at HDV....

Last Saturday the kids and I took my mom out for lunch, in honor of Mother's Day.  We gave her a large jewelry box I made especially for her. She loved it.

On Sunday my handsome husband brought me breakfast in bed, tulips, a new wallet (cause I am always loosing things in my very large and over-sized purse) and best of all he gave me a brand new sander. He bought this particular sander because it has different attachments making it easier for me to sand down different jewelry boxes. I love him for thinking of that. Here's me with my new sander..

 This past week I have been busy fixing, sanding, priming and painting vintage jewelry boxes.  Here are a few before and afters...

My husband recently noticed a hole in the arm of one of his favorite button down work shirts.  It's a great shirt and I hate to see him toss it, leave it, so I pull up quick to retrieve it...

Here are a few great ideas on what I could do with his discarded button down shirts:
