Spring..Easter...Birthdays...OH MY!!!!

Happy April Everyone!!!  I cannot believe it is April and how much snow we have still in our neck of the woods! I also cannot believe that Easter has already come and gone!  I hope you all had a very blessed Easter with family & friends!  I was not in the mood at all to do spring decorating this year..due to the snow and cold still...but alas I thought I better have a few little touches around the house..Here is a few pics of the simple decor I did this year :)

 This cutie above was a dollar store find!!

It's a tradition in our family for the kiddos to wear
their bunny years for pics Easter Morning..Here is there Nesting place!

 Here is a Print I found off of Pintrest..Loved it because
it tells the TRUE meaning of Easter!!

During this Easter season we were inspired to make some more of our {BARN WOOD CROSSES}
Here are a sampling of some below!

We just love the way these crosses turned out!  Each one so unique with simple beauty!
So now that spring is here..(kind of) & Easter is over..we are getting busy getting our creative hats on to bring you more inspiring things..we will keep you posted!  So kind of off the topic of Easter but still on the topic of celebrating.. April Fools day in our house is a very Special day ..we took it off to celebrate my oldest daughter Madison Faith Bowers 11th Birthday!!! We have been doing a lot of celebrating with Easter & her Birthday!  What a joyous time of year!  Here is my beautiful Daughter Madison..Where do the years go???

 

I hope all of you have had a weekend full of celebrating like we did!! Keep on the lookout for more updates on the Barn Boutique!  There is work being done out there Yippee!! 

 

Blessings,

Alicia & Carol

1,2,3 Come Flea with Me!!!!

Ok... so I missed the Boat last Weekend for the big Labor Day Flea Market!!! Dang!!! But, I was spending some quality time with my family before the Big 1st day of School!! The Girls, Nick & I went to Itasca State Park for a day & it was a great time!!  Sometimes it is so refreshing to be out in the quiet wilderness!! 

 

The Girls were In "Love" with the wilderness & in Awe by the mightiness of the Trees!!!

I also was not out @ the Flea because we were up to our heads deep @ the lake cabin taking in the last big weekend!!

My little Man!!!

 

And so the Weekend & Flea market came and went & the School Year has begun!!!

 

I was wishing upon a star... for one last dance @ the flea & My wish has come true!!

 

 

 

This coming Sunday September 9th, 3 days from now it will be open one last time for the season!!  So Make sure you scoot on down to the flea & say Hi to Me!!

 

Blessings,

Alicia

 

 

 



SchOoL TiMe!!

 

 

 

It's that time of the year again..time for school!!!  If you are like my household there are mixed emotions about this time of the year. My children are excited to see their friends & of course go SCHOOL SHOPPING!!   Yet, they do not want summer to end because that means no more sleeping in, no more lazy hazy daze of summer..  I too have mixed emotions in that I love having the relaxed atmosphere of summer, but... Let's get back to the BASICS!!!  I need some organization & routine back in my life!! Pondering on the idea of getting back to a routine & getting organized again My mom & I were brainstorming on what to do with some of our old windows we have stashed & Here is what we came up with...

 

Hope these will inspire you to become more organized for your NEW school year!!!
(see a window you may like..drop us a note @ beautifuljunque@hotmail.com & we can custom make one for you!)

A Big Old Thank you to All who stopped by this past weekend @ the Flea Market!!  It was a perfect day & we met many great people that day!!  We will unfortunately not be out there the last couple Sundays, but.. we always have our little corner @ Sulaine's Antique mall & we are gearing up for Eco Chic's Fall Junk Market!!  Located in in Eco Chic's parking lot September 22nd!! Stayed tuned for more details!!

 Blessings,
Alicia

Water Carnival Fun!!

Had so much fun this past Monday at the Sweet Summer Night for Water Carnival.  It was quite HOT  setting up but was worth meeting new people and sharing our product with them!!  We have been working in this heat making new fun creations to share with you at our booth at Sulaines and soon at the flea market!!!  Thanks again for all who stopped by our booth Monday night!  We hope more than ever you enjoy your BEAUTIFUL JUNQUE!!!

Loved  How this turned out!!  Except I am not an expert at the camera so the reflection is not so good!!!  I am debating on keeping this or selling...I will have to make more I think...

So...Just got done reading the fifty Shades of Grey Trilogy and was in the mood to create things about love... So I created the 4 ever and ever pic and a couple Burlap pillows all regarding "love"!!!  Hope you enjoy!

Laters, Baby!!!



Blessings,
Alicia
