Summer Days

Good day everyone,
It's SUMMERTIME! I have been so busy lately, enjoying the beautiful times that summer brings.  About a month ago, my best friend got stationed here at Ft. Hood.  She is currently staying with us until she can find an apartment.  That is perfectly fine with me. Well, I got her room set up and I am so excited about these two pieces.

This twin size headboard is made from recycled wood pallets.  I love it.  The mattress goes up to the bottom row of boards, but I took it off so you could see how the legs are made.  I can do a headboard for you as well. These are $40, and if you want to add any art such as flowers or designs I can do that.  There will be an added charge.

I added this art to the room as well.  I used pallets for this as well and added a 5x7 picture frame. Email me if you are interested, I'd love to do one for you!

I hope you all are having a very blessed summer.

Much love,
Brie

Fundraiser for our Dear Friend

Good morning,
Bad news was given to my husband and I last week. One of our dear friends was hit in a vehicle accident.  After fighting for his life for 4 days in ICU, God decided it was time for him to come to him.  Louis Torraca was an excellent man, an amazing father, and a wonderful friend to many.
I have dedicated ALL SALES to him for the next month.  100% of your purchase price will be given to his son.  I have all immediate shipping items for sale at my facebook site.

Any custom pieces will also be given to him.

Much love,

He loves me

My husband and I found the cutest little church to start attending here at Ft. Hood.  People are relaxed, just praising HIM.  When we left the other day, I thought to myself "I don't understand how some people can say that no one loves them"... He loves you. 

John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whoever believed in him shall not perish but have eternal life".  

This is available for immediate shipping.  $10 plus shipping.  I will add either a hanger or twine/ribbon. Your choice.

Nursery Flower Art

Good day Ya'll,

Hope you had a wonderful Easter Holiday! So recently I was commissioned to do a custom piece for a baby girls nursery.
I hope you like it! I did something different this time and incorporated a picture frame.

I forgot to take a finished picture. But here is what it looked like before some minor touch-ups and a little distressing.

Please contact me if you are interested in a piece like this.

Much love,

Brie

A bucket of memories

Good morning all,
Sorry it's been a couple weeks. I had some personal stuff to tend to. Well, I'm back! So, if you all were not aware I lost two of the most important people in my life a couple months ago.  While I was in ND for Grandpa and Grandma's funeral, I received an old pickled herring bucket.  Now, most would wonder why on earth I would want such a thing.  Well, Grandpa loved his picked herring.  And the buckets, when empty, would be used for many things.  Often times, a bucket was found in the middle of the dining room table filled with random letters, remotes, etc...  Well this bucket just so happened to go through the horrible flood of 2011 and the one in 2009 also. I'm not 100 percent sure, but it may have been flooded prior times before that.  Well, this baby was caked with mud so much that I barely touched it and the whole thing fell apart.

Piecing it back together was easier said than done. Little did I know, that each little board belonged in a certain place or it would not fit together.  7 small boards to be exact.  I'm no math god, but I'm pretty sure that I finally got it together after about 100 different combinations.

 I used a glue gun and some epoxy to ensure that the metal and each board would stay in one place.  Cleaned up the metal to the best that could be done (Can't completely shine up an antique).

Well, now that it is spring, I found the perfect use for it.  A flower pot. Grandma loved her flowers and is probably smiling up there about them.  I wish I had her green thumb though.  I'm 99 percent sure she could grow a rose in sand.

I'm so excited to have a little memorial of both grandpa and grandma to look at now!

They were amazing. Truly blessed.

Much love,
Brie
