My creative side has been showing itself more often over the past six months or so. It’s always there somewhere but often it lies dormant until some random thing inspires it to come out and play. I’ve been making (and selling!) lots of pottery this year so far, made myself and website and am trying to get Lola Arts off the ground as an actual business. I also made a website for my massage business and am working on one for a friend as well, which I’m really enjoying! (I wanted to be a graphic designer in one brief moment in my life, so I think playing with websites feeds that part of me!)
I’ve been working on ideas for my pottery display when I go to shows and have tuned into my love of cute vintage things… not sure they will go together yet, BUT I had my first great find yesterday!
After a lovely outside summer breakfast with Bo and Justin (with my pottery of course!) we decided to go yard sale-ing and each found one little item that we needed/wanted. (Mine was by far the best although I think we were each equally happy!) I got a sideways look from Justin but couldn’t help buying this ADORABLE sea foam blue/green (totally my color) vintage looking fan for ONE DOLLAR!! It was so me I couldn’t believe it and scooped it up like a six year old buying an ice cream cone!
I mean really, how could you pass this up? So cute! I plugged it in when we got home and it works, although Justin asked me not to leave it plugged in because old electrical stuff scares him. I thought about it for the afternoon and after dinner started working… I took the whole thing apart very carefully and cleaned it all up… scrubbed a little rust off of the grills and took the fan part out careful to keep track of all of the parts. I plan on keeping them all so that I can convert it back to a fan someday if I want to but now… she looks like this!!
I’m so in love!! So that was my creative project yesterday… I wonder what else I can find!!
