My Creative Space...Always Changing


Though not perfectly staged, I am sharing this photo of my creative space that I took a few days ago when the lighting was so pretty. I wish I would have taken a few moments to straighten the rug and put some of the clutter away, but here you are...a very real, in the moment shot of the space I use to gather my finds, photograph furniture, price treasures and dream up displays. 

I am so glad I took this photo though, as this room will not likely ever look the same as it does now. Now is when the chaos begins, more items pile in as the date draws near. Soon enough, this room will be mostly cleared out and the window display will be filled with treasures. 

I do love this stage...this moment in time when I get to enjoy all of these special things in my home, before we part ways and they go on to be loved by someone else. 

Thank you for your sweet visit!
Best Wishes and Blessings,
Amanda

Another Frances Hodgson Burnett Inspired Display {in the works!}


My next big project, my focus as of late is a window display coming to Camas Antiques, first part of May! Once again, I am using the inspiration from a film that will be shown at the Liberty Theatre. Last year my theme was The Secret Garden. Families gathered on Mother's Day to see the film and enjoy treats and giveaways at the store afterwards. A Little Princess, also by Frances Hodgson Bernett is the inspiration for this year's display and the 1995 version will be shown on Mother's Day, May 13th. I have mountains of projects in the works for the display and hope to keep you posted with updates and sneak peeks as the days tick by! I am so very excited about the treasures I've gathered so far and how well things are coming together! Thank you friends for your encouragement and for following along with me on this fun journey! More to come...

Thank you for your sweet visit!
Best Wishes and Blessings,
Amanda
