Giddy Over my Own Twist on a Chalk Paint Armoire

Yep thats me!!!!

I love, love, love this piece and it has found its temporary home at WISHES until some lucky person brings her to her forever home, that is.

I love how the inside not only has a bar for clothes but about 10 hooks that line the back for purses, hats, and accessories as well.

(note that is a bookshelf I stuck inside for more display space you can get it now at the shop as well)

This is a close up of my very own vintage french furniture finish.  It took a lot of testing and mixing and mixing again but, I think I have my technique down for a chalk paint and glaze furniture finish.  I want to redo all the furniture in our house like this now I love it so much.

She is, like I said available now at the shop but, our furniture seems to fly out the door so I have no idea for how long.

Also, placed in the shop this week were:

this vintage train case I re-did.  I love these stuck here and there in my decor, because not only are they super cute they double as great storage as well!

next up I brought in this gorgeous and huge vintage frame and chalkboard.  I am addicted to these and look for a huge load of vintage frames turned into many different things to hit the shop asap.

This is just a few of all the items Echo and I added this past week along with freshening up the decor again, so stop in and see!

Wishing you the happiest first day of spring from our home, I am arranging and rearranging the house as we speak for the season.  So fun to have clean, crisp, and fresh for spring everywhere.

Here's to beautiful messes in your paperlife and Best WISHES for your home!

What the What?!?!?!

That was the exact look on Echo and I's face yesterday when we walked into Wishes after being absent with sick kids for almost a week.  Apparently, after a great sales week, to top it off a cute mother/daughter duo came in and could not get enough of our stuff.  And they pretty much cleaned out what was left. LOL  Good problem to have huh? 

Well, we got to work restocking and rearranging and she is all filled up again for this beautiful spring weekend.  Echo's beautiful antique dresser is leaving us to go to a new home but, never fear I have worked all day on a really cool replacement I will show you this week.

So, here are some shots of WISHES refilled when we left last night.  Hope you get a chance to come see us real soon and follow us on Facebook at wishes designs for all the latest!

Best WISHES for beautiful messes in your paperlife,

I Have a Blog? Oh Yeah.........

I am so sorry dear blog, something had to go these last few weeks and it was you.  Not to mention, I had no access to my computer and my hard drive is currently off somewhere in some forensics lab trying to have its data retrieved.  Not good.

I am however going to try to catch you up because life has definitely not stopped.  WISHES is the big thing in my Paperlife/Creativelife right now, so let me catch you up on that today.  We have started receiving our product orders and that has meant lots of jewelry and hair pretties.  Here are some photos of what we just added to the store:

A lot of what we have is one of a kind items due to the fact that a little vintage is incorporated into most of our designs.  But this gives you a good idea of what you might find in the shop right now.

Love these chunky old beads.

litte of my fave juxtaposition here, leather and bling, this is a signature spring summer piece that we have lots of right now.

and oh the yummy hair pretties just waiting on my table to be taken down.  That is after I get these 2 Coonkids well enough to make the trip.  We are battling some nasty fevers right now.

We have made a facebook page to keep everyone updated on what we are doing with the shop and our lines.  In true Amy/Echo style, no grass will be growing under WISHES feet, so go there and like us to keep up for now!

Heres to making a beautiful mess of your Paper/creative Life!

Best WISHES,

Amy
