It’s been about a month since I checked in. I started back at work with limited hours 2 weeks ago, It was weird after being home for 5 weeks. During this time, I was so surprised with all the support I received! Lots of things have left and are continuing to leave! I cracked into the last DOCTOR HOUSE boxes and am working through listing more medical goodies. I found some cool stuff! Check out my Etsy and check back as I have more to list. I have some things in my eBay as well,

While I was home and the sewing machine was handy, I decided to tear into the Saarinen 72 side chair pair. I got them tore apart, new foam in the seats, new upholstery crafted from a (supposed) vintage Knoll Greek key woven tweed. It looks fantastic and I took care in matching the pattern up on both. The fiberglass backs had some love too and I reinforced some cracks in the base of one with some epoxy and gave them a new coat of paint. They are fantastic, I originally sold them on consignment as ‘project’ pieces. Sadly, the eBay buyer forced a return on me and I pretty much lost everything and had to pay his $60 shipping fees. The only way I was going to come out ahead was to put the time in them. They are now listed in my markets. They are super as a pair but would also look great in a mismatched set around your table. They are definitely early production as noted by the fiberglass backs. The earliest had different legs, but they date to the 50s/60s for sure. They are comfy now and stylish and ready to rock your world!

I just sold the credenza part of the China hutch in my retail space. I will be adding hairpin legs to the top and using it as a display, once it is converted it will be ‘available’ for purchase. I think it will look handsome! The space is all set up and if you are popping by the Mall and staff is there, you can get a private showing. They are not officially open, but will take appointments. That said, if you’d like to shop my space, either reach out to me or call the mall for an appointment. Hopefully they will be open soon for regular shipping. We are going stir crazy but safety is first. Please remember your PPE when heading into any store in the state. I will announce when they schedule a grand reopening!

ReaDy for sUmmer! Picnic, camping, Boho decor!

Can’t wait to see thr hutch top oN hairpins!

i am working through listing back stock and if you enjoyed the vintage medical items, you may want to check in on my Etsy. I started going through the last 3 boxes of stuff and am getting it listed. I also found me a box of PPE! That is coming in handy since I need to wear it in the office all day and the handmade ones just aren’t that breathable. I really tried to take advantage of my time at home knowing the rest of my year will be complete census insanity. Kindly bear with me as I do intend to do both well, but will need to flex around a busy work schedule.

Thanks to all my clients near and far that are keeping me excited about this little business while I am working my temporary gig and stockpiling some money. It had been the best thing for my family and sanity even though I am working double time. With the extension of census operations, I will now be working through most of the year! Keep sane and if you need shipping assistance, reach out!
