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...

Behind the Scenes of HDV - Week in Review

It's been a great week. 

First, I finished a custom order for a lovely Mama in Alaska. She's going to use the boxes to organize her sewing notions.

The kids and I made a quick stop at a thrift store on Tuesday. We hit the mother load of vintage jewelry boxes just waiting for a make-over:

Finally, last night I ran to the store and ended up coming home with a lot more then bargained for.  On the way home from the store I drove through the neighborhood setting garbage out for garbage day (as described in last weeks blog post). I found a round suitcase and the chairs pictured below. There were actually four chairs but my car only had room for two. Oh well, two is better then none. 

I love the backs on these chairs.  I can't decide what color to paint them?  I have so many ideas.

Have a Happy Day!
