Townsend Historical Society 31st. Annual Fair

This is my first Show in Massachusetts after we moved from Virginia...
Townsend is a lovely town that was first settled in 1676. Located in Middlesex County, north-west Boston. 100% New England!!
It is beautiful and peaceful...
I had the great company of my mother who created beautiful cushions, aprons and totes for this show. Thanks so much Mom for your wonderful help and love!!!
 
Here is a little about "Townsend Historical Society 31st. Annual Fair":
At my booth...






The fair had many attractions that we enjoyed a lot! Live music, Band, an historical re-enactment, food court and much more...











Thanks so much for all the compliments, the good energy! Had been a great experience with wonderful people that made this event successful!
Hope you fall in love with it...

 Why plain white? I thought....
My friend Gabi gift me a "French Country Style" Magazine during our family visit to Fort Lauderdale,  Florida.
Includes an article "Recipes for Color" and I was very impressed to see a Distressed Armoire painted with a technique from Annie Sloan!
I decided to do a first try on this Country Cabinet tired and out of life!!


All original hardware!
Solid Pine Wood
Six Drawers!!

BEFORE & AFTER ............. ANTES Y DESPUES .....


 I drove one hour to buy this Lingerie Dresser!!! After a brief conversation with the seller, he told me that this dresser belonged to his mother! I really care about the story of every single piece! Is respect, is love and is passion for what I do!



This is the result and I love it! I used a baby blue very soft for the body and Antique White for drawers. The drawers has a transferred pattern that I took from a vintage paper I had in hand.
Beautiful original hardware! This Lingerie Dresser reminds me old and romantic times.....

  






Oh my!!! Finally I'm refurbishing a cart!!!!
I had the idea in my head for long time... after picked up this solid wood little cart at the beginning of Spring, the idea a had for it was: a PLANTER!
Spring is here and great colors are popping up, so.... I chose yellow!



Adding some charming accessories and bold flowers, this cart becomes one of my favorite pieces!
Is a Happy Planter!
This piece SOLD in two days after got in my booth!







 The Majestic Chest!!! Solid ! Heavy! & Majestic!
Upon a time.... in a cold Sunday afternoon, I convinced my husband to go and get this piece from a third floor home after driving up one hour.....
The chest was in great conditions, solid and sturdy with deep drawers working smoothly.
What else can I ask for?



The final product speaks by it self!
Is a master piece! Two tones and a third tone on the columns applying a wonderful stain.
Original hardware. Beautiful wood grain on top.




 On the way to my booth at White Home Collections - New Hampshire.... a little needle point stool hunted from an Antique Store .... I just Love it!!




 With a little dedication, I painted in Aqua color, distressed and upholstery with blue and gold tones fabric. Now you can accessorize any room with it, is just modern and chic!



More stories to come..... Before & After...... Antes y Despues......
Yes, I keep records of all my pieces, before love & after love..... Antes del amor y Despues del amor...
Is the story of my work, my life, my every day life....



Hope you fall in love with it... Thankful, Jacqueline
