…in the hopper

September 8, 2015 by christen | 7 Comments

I feel the hot sweat running down my back and the sun begging for more. I push my hair back with paint-stained fingers. The end of summer brings exhaustion, anticipation and lots and lots of picking and painting. So much so that I am steamrolling. My little business is feeling like big business at the moment.

I think I can. I think I can.

It is just me and my own two hands, but I like it that way. I am gathering and organizing and will be tagging as soon as my cute tags come in. I have a full garage and need more paint. Moving slower this morning because there is so much to move through.

Kindergarten also happened. Big tears.

    I’ve been following your blog for about 2 years now. Your work has inspired me and now I refinish furniture for a living. I so believe in beautifying what we already have rather than manufacture more inferior furniture. Reduce, Recycle, Reuse. But that’s not the reason I’m writing. I need cute little tags too as I am about to debut in my first public retail space too and I have very similar taste to you so would love to know where you ordered your tags? Were they designed especially for you? Can’t wait to see them 🙂

    Best Wishes, Denise

    I’m so excited for you to have your own shop at Luckett’s and I wish you all the best. Love your pieces. Now that your little one is in kindergarten it will be a good time.
