Advent Calendar

It was not a tradition in my house to do the advent calendar (mostly because all the chocolate would have been gone the first few days), but I really want it to be a tradition my kids enjoy. This advent calendar is perfect for small trinkets, little pieces of candy, slips of paper with activities or little ornaments. It will be available at Brocante tomorrow for only $25!

and More

We were recently asked to paint and distress two pieces French Linen by Annie Sloan. We love this color and have been waiting for an excuse to use it!! Check out this bench and end table. The bench was originally red and we are thrilled (as is the customer) that the red peaks through upon distressing.









And the end table. We love the shape of this piece!!

Addison

Grandpa Grady contacted us a while back and ordered a kitchen for his sweet little granddaughter, Addison.  How cute is that?!  He was so sweet and thoughtful to get this piece made for her.  I am positive that when he gives it to her for her birthday next week, she is going to love it!!

Peaceful Melody

I looked up the meaning of the little girl's name to whom this vanity was traveling and turns out Aija means melody in Latvian.  We sure hope she is enjoying her pinky pink vanity!

Mom mentioned she loved peace signs and L happened to find this fabric!

Color Me Surprised, Revisited

Color Me Surprised sold a while back and the sweet family was looking for a fridge to match.  They were very patient through all our travels and finally got it today!  We beefed up the original kitchen too, poor thing took a beating on the sales floor!  Who can blame the kids for wanting to play with it, it is adorable!

Busy Busy!

We have been busy over here in the Gourmet Giggles studio.  Besides organizing and cleaning out to get ready for our holiday season, we have been working on some "And More" pieces.  We always get asked if we do adult pieces and besides Chilled Out, some cake plates and some jewelry dishes, we really haven't.  So, we decided to try our hand at it.  So far the pieces we have done are in our own homes, but for the right offer we are always willing to let them go.....well, maybe :-).

Here are a few shots of the pieces we have done so far:

Antique buffet acquired on L's southwestern travels this summer

Team member L's breakfast table

of course our model had to get in on the shoot

This dresser was purchased at an estate sale last weekend.  A little paint and there she is!

We love the look of the drawer sides being painted.  Eventually when the right fabric or paper is found for this color the drawers will be lined inside as well.

I fell in love with these lines
