Card Catalog Find

Wow. It's been a long time since we've posted - and believe me it's not for a lack for cool finds/projects.  Just haven't seem to find the time to post which is sad.

Anyway, this just had to be shared.  Found this cute little card catalog lately and it definitely needed some love and attention.

Before: Dingy and Grimy  

I just love it.  It's currently for sale at our booth at a local antique store (The Great Mish Mosh in Bellefonte, PA)

Exciting News

Well we finally did our first craft show! It was exhausting and I'm glad it's over and I'm glad we made ourselves do it.  While we didn't do awesome we did better than I thought we would.  The show was filled with a lot of looky-lous that weren't buying much of anything from any booth.  We did, however, receive good feedback and recognition for what we had.  Here are some pictures of our booth set up:

On another exciting note we have changed our Etsy shop name from Emma Beans and More to Whimsical Revival.  We are looking to kind of redirect our focus.  While we will still have vintage items we're going to start incorporating more repurposed/upcycled items as well as more handmade items.  We're also going to get more into social media more so that means a facebook page and hopefully more consistent blog posts.

End Table Redo

Well mom and I finally got this end table done! I may be a little biased because it took many weekends to finish-but I'm in love with it.


We found it at a yard sale and it looked like this:

Not too bad to start with, it was just a little boring.

We started out by modpodging on a map of New York

 then we primed the wood and added the tacks

Then finished it off with some blue and beige paint and here's the end result:
