My Etsy Shop!!!!

Oh my goodness!  I'm so excited to announce Huckleberry Lane's Esty shop!  I've been making and wearing unique hair accessories for a long time now, so after many many compliments and encouragements to open an Etsy shop, I've done just that!  I have a few hair clips posted and am working on more.  I have several darling baby head bands and lace earrings almost ready to post.  

The clips are backed with an alligator clip which makes them very secure in your hair, on a headband, purse, bag or as a lapel pin!  These lovely clips can be used in countless ways and you will find it rather enjoyable to see all the things you can do with yours!  These can even be clipped onto a wedding bouquet, on the ribbon or burlap around a vase with flowers!  Stunning!

My sisters, mom and I simply adore wearing the clips in so many different ways.  I'm surprised how often people take notice of the clips and comment on them.  

 Each hair clip I make is unique since I don't have a pattern.  I just keep working on it till it looks right and makes me happy!  When it's done I begin snapping pictures since I'm eager to share my creations!  

Each bow has lace of some sort, unique tulle, fabric with texture and you can't forget the pearls!  Pearls and lace make girls and ladies happy!  

I also have these stunning lace earrings for sale.  Too fun!

Please pass on the link below to anyone you think will fall in love with lace, pearls, tulle, and vintage!   Remember to check back often since I'll continue to add new items.  You won't want to miss them!

Before and After Antique Buffet!

Heather has been working hard this last month getting furniture ready for a show.  Here is my favorite of her recent projects!  

It's a Thomasville andVERY heavy and VERY solid! 

Ta DA!!!  It's done and looking lovely!  We sold it at the show which is good since we had no where to store it since hauling it up 2 flights of stairs didn't sound fun!   Good job Heather!

Welcome to....

our blooming family business called

(click image above to go to Huckleberry Lane)

When I say family business, that is just what I mean. We all have a part in the affair but some have a bigger part than others. Mom is the shopper. She finds great deals on Craig's List or at garage sales and has the wonderful eye for being able to spot an ugly piece of furniture and visualizing what could be done with it. Dad builds pieces and fixes others. He has an amazing ability to see an antique piece of furniture, disappear into his shop and come back in with a jaw-dropping piece of art work! Now it's Heather's turn! She then takes the unfinished wood and makes it come alive with a little paint, stain, sandpaper, polyurethane, chains and elbow grease. Okay, a LOT of elbow grease! Then comes my turn to take the finished pieces, decorate them and post pictures on the blog and our Facebook Page. (Head on over there to "like" us and for updates and Before and After pictures!) Taylor and Ben work very hard carrying the pieces up and down between the shop and attic where Heather has her painting studio and loading and unloading at shows. Hauling furniture up 2 flights of stairs is no easy job, let me tell you! Gracie and Sarah help me cover for the others in house cleaning and cooking when they are up able to help and Lydia is delighted to help with the sanding and distressing of the furniture! We've begun to take our pieces of furniture to antique/vintage craft sales.

Dad's Amazing Masterpiece!!!!

As the years go by we have been trying to find a bigger dining room table since we've almost grown out of our old one. Instead of buying one, Dad found 100 year old barn wood and got to work pulling out square nails and making the wood ready for our table. After weeks and weeks of work we were finally able to bring it into the house and enjoy it's 10 feet of loveliness! I'm just amazed how beautiful it is and am thankful that my dad has such a wonderful eye for detail!

Where the square nails were.
