I'll give you a little sneak peek at some of the sketches that you will see in real life soon.

THRIFTY THURSDAY


Going back to a weekly post that I did when I first started blogging.   Thrifty Thursday.........this is where I share my latest finds.   Sometimes they are from Craigslist, fleamarkets or even curbside.

This week's set of items are Craigslist find, and I might even say score.


3 Vintage Samsonite Suitcases



They are so awesome...can't wait to use them for a wedding..perfect camel coloring


I opened them up and they are almost perfect inside....no rips, tears, stains...just some slight fading.


These are going straight into prop rental inventory...and they will be a very popular rental this Spring/Summer.

NEW WEBSITE IN THE WORKS





My vintage prop inventory has been growing like crazy.  In addition to scouting a new warehouse space to curate this collection of treasures, a new website is also in the works.  Photos of events will be on the site as well as sample themed vignettes.


Right now I have photos of some pieces in an album on the Lucky 7 Design Facebook Page.


I thought I would share some great pieces that are very popular since we about to head into the Spring/ Summer Wedding Season.

BUGGY IS A BIG GIRL NOW




On this day, 3 years ago I was blessed with my 5th child.  Kemorah Sky, when she was created the mold was broken.

She is fiesty and fearless but also sweet and loving.    She challenges us all everyday and teaches us to have patience because Lord knows you need it with her.

WHEN MY LOVE IS AWAY.................


My husband went on an overnight trip with the guys to Atlantic City.   While he was away I decided to do the Master Bedroom over.    I had already started to buy some items and stored them in a box.

I thought him returning home to a new room would be fun, and I just needed a reason to redo this room because I wasn't liking what we did when the new made came during the holidays.

The paint color is from Valspar Woodrow Wilson Linen and it was already painted months ago.   On my to do list for this room was:

Change curtains to burlap or linen fabric
Change bed linens
Change out husband's nightstand
Remove my nightstand altogether
Bring in wood shelving unit
Make Chalkboard out of old painting
Frame Bob Marley picture (gift from me to love years ago) Inspiration colors for the room
Hang handmade tin shelf piece
Bring in some romantic accessories
Declutter the top of husband's vintage dresser



MISSION ACCOMPLISHED...........................take a look!




One of my favorite photo object pieces by local artist 
A chalkboard I made from an old ugly painting


His side of the bed...less is more. lol


Vintage bamboo piece filled with lots of collected treasures


New curtains from IKEA, unfortunately I had to move one of my craft closets in here..but I have a plan to make it blend in better. 

HERE IS THE UPDATED LOOK NOW...

Vintage doors with my daughters custom made prom dress (all vintage lace)  on top is an antique wicker baby scale.



Ribbons hanging on the closet door hook, awesome throw blanket my sister Jenn gifted me.


This picture of Bob Marley was a gift I bought for my husband years ago when we were dating. It was the color inspiration for the room.

No...the B and M aren't for Bob Marley.    Those happen to be our initials...lol
