THRIFTY LITTLE THINGS AT SOUTHBOUND ANTIQUE MALL



UPDATE: I kept my booth at Southbound for a couple monthes and then made the business decision to move out. You'll find all of my items at The Albemarle Marketplace!

Wow! I've been so busy painting and fixing up lots of Thrifty Little Things for my booth out at Southbound Antique Mall here in Albemarle, NC that I haven't had time to post all the full before and afters - but I promise they are coming!

I do have a few peaks for you to see some of my favorite pieces that went into the booth this week. I've been working like crazy painting, upholstering and breathing new life into these goodies. I hit the sales and auctions this week and have been in overdrive ever since!

If you're local or in NC, you definately want to stop in - Southbound is packed full of so many talented vendors and unique items for your home. I'm Vendor #13 so make sure to look for all my Thrifty Little Things.

Here's a few of my finished projects this past week that are now up for grabs at Southbound Antique Mall:



















Whew!!! Can you tell I've been busy?

THRIFTY LITTLE PRODUCT REVIEW & GIVEAWAY: NOXICARE NATURAL PAIN RELIEF


I don't know about you, but I stay so busy and it seems over the last couple years (not that I'm actually a-g-i-n-g) I have much more back pain, stiffness in my joints - especially in the mornings, and I just tend to ignore it and pass it off as doing too many things. (Like hauling some heavy curbside rescue piece into my car and house) I'm constantly bending, painting, sanding and generally wearing myself out and twisting my bodies in ways that probably aren't suggested so that I can work on my latest Thrifty Little Thing. I've dealt with muscle aches and back pain for so long now on a regular basis that I've even begun to wonder if I'm having early signs of arthritis (EEEK!)

I'm not big on taking prescription meds other than absolutely necessary, but am always open to all natural and herbal ways to increase my energy level and overall health. I was excited to get to try and Review Noxicare Natural Pain Relief Capsules AND offer up a FREE BOTTLE to one of our readers!

Here's a little info. about this product:

Noxicare™ Natural Pain Relief is a breakthrough natural, patented pain relief formula that is a proprietary combination of 7 of the world’s most potent natural pain relievers that quickly and effectively alleviate inflammation, muscle aches and nerve pain (burning feet)—with NO known side effects and without a prescription.

Noxicare™ creator Dr. Reza Ghorbani, MD, ABIPP, FIPP, is a Harvard-trained, board certified Interventional Pain Management Specialist. He is the President and Medical Director for the Advanced Pain Medicine Institute in the Greater Washington, DC area. As a leading practitioner in his field, Dr. Ghorbani has devoted his entire career to helping patients overcome pain to enable a better quality of life.

Noxicare™ means fast, natural pain relief with:
• NO known side effects
• NO prescription needed
• NO greasy feel or strong smell
• NO harmful chemicals
• NO lab-produced pharmaceuticals
• NO more pain


I've been taking it now for 2 weeks and really have noticed a difference in my lower back pain and joint and muscle aches in my legs. I also have no worries about taking it because of the natural ingredients. I've noticed an increase in energy that just may be from feeling better or another plus from the herbal ingredients. It also comes in a cream form that I am looking forward to trying out soon!

CURBSIDE RESCUED SEWING TABLE MAKEOVER IN ANNIE SLOAN GRAPHITE




If you remember when I posted my last Cubside Rescue, I've finally got the update on how I turned their trash into my newest treasure. All with just a little love, Annie Sloan ChalkPaint in Graphite and a wood applique :D

Of course, with Annie Sloan, this project did not require priming or sanding.

I gutted the Sewing Machine Table so it wouldn't be so heavy - that sewing machine just screwed right out so the table wasn't so heavy. Now what to do with the sewing machine (which is PINK by the way....LOVE....!!!)

Because I planned to use the table as a nightstand, I turned it to what was once the side to make it skinnier and longer to fit in it's new bedside spot. I attached a .50 cent wood applique to that front to add a bit of flair and detail.

Gave her a full coat, let dry a couple hours and then I went back and did some glazing on the edges and applique. I hand rubbed clear wax on the top because my night stand tends to get very dingy with drinks and such. And that's it! Here's the entire process top to bottom.....

I'm in love with my Curbside Rescued Sewing Table turned Nightstand!

YARD SALE CANDLESTICK MAKEOVER WITH PAINT - $2 PROJECT THIS WEEK



I've got a real quick $2 Yard Sale Candlestick Makeover that I did this past week for my daughter. Anyone can do this one, no craft genes required!

I grabbed this poor little worn out wooden candlestick at a local yard sale for 2 bucks, knowing all it needed was some paint and a little love :D



I first gave it a very thin and quick base coat of old white that I had on hand, and then I painted it using this fabulous shade I chose for my FREE Quart from Ace Hardware last weekend! I'm now in love with this color!



After drying overnight, I distressed a bit with my fine grade sand block and voila! - super quick & cheap fix to create a fabulous new candlestick that my daughter was all too eager to grab up for her new place.



Stay tuned this week - I've been doing so many projects this week and taking tons of pics. They should definately make up for my recent lack of posts :D
