My Husband's latest find.....

My Husband's latest find.........

I've been doing a little 'soul searching' on how I should proceed with this hobby of mine.  I do have a booth at the best craft show in the area....Southdown.  But, my list of things that I want to do and the space that I have to store and stack my stuff is getting a little conflicted. 

Being the ever supportive husband, I told him my crazy dream to maybe expand a bit......get a booth at an antique mall or such........He's told me many times that he believes I will have my own one day....Yea, how do I fit that in with nursing, managing rentals and doing the books for his business..............

Oh well, I guess his latest find was confirmation that his encouragement is genuine.  I just recently showed him some hall trees made from old doors and.......guess what he brought home!!!!!

So, when he called me to say he was bringing me a surprise, I knew how proud he was to haul these doors to me.  They were being abandoned in a dumpster near a job site........Oh, the horror!!  Thank God he had the equipment trailer with him to haul these beauties.  I see a hall tree, coffee tables, end tables, possible benches.......painted in a lighter color and distressed!!  The possibilities......The leaded glass has a hummingbird inlaid on it.  These pictures do no justice to the piece.....

It's great to have the support of the one you love, it just wouldn't be the same if I had to stand my ground and not have someone to giggle with at my creations.  

Another love of mine is old band instruments.  I have an affection with old band instruments as I was a 'band nerd' most of my school life......lol......I loved my high school band days.  So, when I  found this french horn, I could not resist.  I also have an old flute and an old clarinet I have displayed on my mantle.  This french horn may be a little awkward on the mantle.  On day I'll get a better picture of this horn with my other collection of instruments.  I just had to get a quick shot of this one right when I put it in my car.....and text it to my hubby and sisters.........

  If you are ever in Denham Springs, LA, which is East of Baton Rouge, check out 'The Rusty Rooster'.  This is an antique mall done right!!  It's where I found this horn.  Her antique mall is inspiring, relaxing and just plain lovely!!!!
