We've got the bug...bigtime!!!

Well CC and I had our first "junk sale" this past weekend and...it was AWESOME!!!  We sold almost everything! We totally have the bug and are trying to figure out how we can make as much money "junking" as do nursing! Hmmm....We have came up with all kinds of ideas, for example buying our own building, renting space, having occasional sales, etc. We didn't come up with any great answers...any ideas from blogland from those of you that have started your own business?  It was so fun and so worth all the time and effort (we think its a blast!) and what a great way to keep creating and JUNKING! If anyone has any great ideas out there, please let us know! We'd love to hear them...for the meantime we'll keep vending out of The Red Poppy which is the awesome little store here in town!  Here are some of the pics!

Sweet little headboard that CC did! Perfect for that little girl!

Here is the hutch from the previous post I redid! LOVE it!  Could have sold it a dozen times! Note the little toy soldiers on it...haha CC I HAD to point them out! =)

Here's one of the "pot chairs" I had done, a nice lady bought both of them for her porch...remember my wish/love for a porch....see?!  This chair is why! Won't it look great?

Here is a vanity that I did that my Sister In Law Tracy found for me!  What a great find! I'll put the before pic/after pic in later in the week! It ended up being beautiful! Seriously could have sold it 100 times! Also check out the insulator candle holders! How awesome are they? CC did them with the help of her hubster! Beautiful and they all sold right away!

A little piano bench and wicker coffee table CC did! More of her creative awesomeness!  The piano bench is still available if anyone is interested! Its super nice!

Our girly pink grouping! Love, love, love the zebra rocker! It was a huge hit that CC created!

More kid ideas!

Appetizer picks! I think these are the cutest thing ever when entertaining!

Not a great picture but I love the candlebra and CC hated it...it made us laugh all day!

Some awesome whiteness! This was the table a few posts back (there is a 'before' pic) Turned out great but you all know I have a weakness for white shab!

The other "pot" chair along with the table Katie did a few posts back! She hasn't asked me for the money yet....I'm just waiting for her to though!

Some signs Kate and I did in an awesome crate CC found at a sale! The dear hubsters put barbed wire on the signs...it totally made the sign!

Some more awesome whiteness! =)  Love the white!

An awesome trunk I found at a sale, I knew it would make a perfect coffee table! These two really cute high school girls bought it for their mom because she had been looking for one for a long time to use as a...coffee table!  They were so excited! How sweet are those girls to their  mom!

Cute little spring candle holder!

An awesome rocker and stand! These too could have sold a hundred times over! More insulator candles - these ones are sconces! Great! Check out the barbed wire basket...the hubster made it! No kidding!

Okay this is one of my favorite things...I love, love, love these wheels! Are they not the cutest thing ever? I just can't get over it! The cute pics are CC and her fam!

More white...I heart you!

And this my friends is all we have left!!! I know right, unbelievable. We sold almost everything! I love our little business! What a great time and we met so many awesome people! We had a blast! 

The back of our shirts...how cute are these?!

Afterward a little celebrating...and bragging! Haha! Really we would like to thank everyone for stopping by and taking part in our sale! We love you girls!!!



Happy Fall!

I  know, I know...it's been awhile!  Where have I been? Busy with the usual...mom, wife, nurse, student, etc. etc. HOWEVER!!! I've been busy creating AND getting ready for a show!  Can't wait! I'll be at the FHS craft show with my good  friend and scheemer, Christy! Cannot wait! Now there are two Sparkle and Shine girls...what will we do?! Its going to be a great show so I hope you can make it! Here is a little peek at some "before" pictures as to what will be there...you'll have to attend to see the "after!" They are awesome!!!



A great, great little end table that has been painted up!  Just imagine the detail in white!

Awesome little hutch that I'd really like to keep!  Wait until you see the "after" done in black! I heart!

Here is an ugly, ugly little primative table the hubs and I bought at an auction! This is it with a coat of primer because, once again, I forgot before pics!  Picture it scuffed up, ugly, dark brown...

Katie wanted to try "redoing" so I let her do this entire revamp! She is in love with junking! Ahhh that's my girl!

Here it is all done up and then "stressed" out!  Her words, "that was so fun...I get to keep the money when it sells don't I?" Too funny!

Onto another great find...

Here is a BEAUTIFUL oil painting I fell in love with at an auction!  I love, love, love the picture and colors! It is so pretty! I paid $12.50 for it which the hubster thought was a little bit much but he can't envision what it will look like with the frame redone...

Here she is! I absolutely love it! The frame is actually done in an off white (heirloom white) but it looks white-white here. I haven't distressed the frame out yet and I'm not sure I'm going to...I just adore it! BTW she is NOT for sale, she is happily hanging in my living room! =)

So remember our show on November 6th, we'll be the girls with the sparkle! Can't wait! Hugs!
