IT'S PARTY TIME!!!!!

Funky Junk Interiors' 1000 Followers Event

Hey, It's party time over at Donna's Funky Junk Interiors.

Donna has such a wonderful blog, and so many great ideas.
And Saturday Night Special, what can I say? Soooo fun!!!
You just have to check it out!!

OK, better introduce myself in case you have not been here before.

I'm Barbara Jean

Wife of 41 years, mother, grandmother, shop owner,
lover of vintage and shabby things, and creator of artful treasures.

This is me with my sweet fella.


Opening my own brick and mortar store in 2008 was a dream come true,
and a gift from the Lord. I love every minute of it. (except inventory time!)
Here are a few little corners of the store.
(click on pics to enlarge)

The Travel Corner.


Love all the creams.


The Shabby Room


I love blogging!!

Great people. Wonderful ideas. Family.
A place I can share what I am learning.

My Store Blog, Treasures from the Heart Gift Shop,
is where I feature my hand-crafted treasures,
and a few favorite finds as well.

I make my own bird nests, and love to put them in unique finds.
(I have a tutorial on my side bar on how to make the nests.)
Here are some of my nest treasures from the store:

a nest on a spoon easel....



box turned into a nest home.

an old light fixture turned upside down.

I love experimenting.
Here are a few things I have had fun with:
Pin cushions...

(Sold, but supplies to make another)

sweet little framed pieces.....




OK, enough about me and my treasures,
and on to what you can choose from when you enter over at Funky Junk.

Oh Barbara Jean, these are all so lovely. I think I would pick #1, it reminds me of my children, but would take any of them.
Your shop is very beautiful, I wish I could see it in person. I will definitely be back to check out your Etsy store.
Thanks for your gracious giveaway.
Have a blessed week.

Hi Barbara Jean,
Thank you for your lovely comments on my blog about the RED panda, I am so glad you enjoyed meeting him. Also for the invitation to participate in the Give Away. I do love the little shoe with the eggs, but I think it would too much to expect (if I won) for it to arrive in Australia in one piece...knowing the postal system, so I will have to be content to wait until your "aged shoe" tutorial. You are such a sweetie.
Warmest hugs,
Sandi @ Bearly Sane
