I'm a bit obsessed with making these little French apothecary bottles. I love browsing The Graphics Fairy and then picking out which images I think would look lovely on each front.

Woo hoo! I'm so excited to share this morning's garage sale finds. I did really, really well. I'm still giddy! Now without further ado...check out this gorgeous old desk: Can you guess how much?

I didn't have a clear idea in my mind on what I was going to do with them so they sat and sat and sat. Until today.
