Happy Easter From A Flock Of Sheep

Enjoy!

See y'all!

Friday Finds And A Giveaway

We have a whole lot of squirrels, raccoons, and possums in our neighbor- hood.





So when I found these primitive pelt stretchers, I knew I had to have them.

They are hand-carved for several sizes of varmints.

I might as well buy three and make a little money.

Coonskin hat anyone?

Eddie at Eddie-torial Comments wants one with pom poms and glitter.

Sounds festive!

A topless doll trunk - I guess for topless dolls.

A lovely pink roses flannel crib blanket.

A Bates woven spread of corralled horses.

Whoever owned this suitcase had strong opinions and not afraid to put them right out there.

The suitcase and the oh-so pink boots from Olive of Olive Out who has deserted us for Instagram.

I guess I will be forced into seeing what all the fuss is about Instagram.

It appears my living room is now heaven - a large collection of cherubs are hanging out there.

A neat encyclopedia table - already painted in black.

Did you notice the Easter quilt?

Made from one inch squares.

Mary and Joseph and two busts of children.



Update: Joseph is actually St. Jude.  Thanks, Eddie!

All of you just said, "AWWWW!"

So precious for a nursery.















This print is a best seller in my booth - no matter the size.

This one is large and in the original frame.

Another stack of windows - I was getting low.











After I have trapped enough small mammals and stretched their little hides, I will offer them for sale on Etsy.

I'm just kidding!

Today is my blog's third birthday.

I want to thank all you faithful readers and supporters with a little something-something.

If you put in the comments section, "I want a piece of Horror Monster." -  I will select someone as the winner.

No fancy picker. I'll just stick your name in a hat and have a squirrel, uh, Chucks select one next Wednesday.

I will visit your blog to discern scientifically just which section of Horror Monster is right for you. 

And I do not care where in the world you live.

Giveaway is open until 12PM Eastern, Wednesday, April 8.


And finally, a tribute to my newest blog friend, Benita. Naked beauty - go see hers HERE - not Benita - her chair!


See y'all!

A very happy Good Friday - time to plant something!

Vintage Inspiration Party #184  

 

Little Red Bench

A little red bench - just right for a bench stack.

Don't look behind it!

WARNING!

Dangerous living room filled with projects to finish.

 


The bench is actually sitting on top of an unfinished table.

Bought it at an estate sale.

Liked the detail on the legs.






 

Hated the finish so I sanded it right off.

Americana Decor Chalky Finish in Rouge.

A coat of Minwax stain in Mission Oak.

I was planning to show you how the finish looked.

However I did not realize my camera was coated in yellow pollen.

So here is a pic of yellow pollen on Mission Oak-stained Rouge Red Chalky Finish paint.

Sounds like art to me.

See y'all!

Barley Twist With A Shot Of Black

Remember this pair of end tables I bought at an estate sale?

They were in great condition with the exception of water damage on the tops.

Love those barley twist legs.

Solid oak.

I sanded down the tops and edges to remove the damage.

Then painted with Americana Decor Chalky Paint in Carbon.

Followed by a dark waxing - Howard Citrus Shield.

People who use chalk paint know that black is more charcoal as you can see.

Of course there is a layer of yellow pollen.






Loaded up and ready to go to the booth.

I had to stack them - they are so massive.

Waxed paper to protect from scratching.

Yes, I know it looks nicer with paper doilies, but I forgot them.

They have found a forever home.

See y'all!
