A New Adventure

We are doing it.....

we are really doing it!

We have been wanting to buy a fixer-upper

to put our 

blood sweat and tears 

skills and talents to use

for some time now

(well not mine, but the Stigman's - HA!) 

We figured now is better than never.....

So we jumped in and did it!

I am so excited and scared at the same time......

We will be documenting the whole thing 

(not just for your benefit, but for ours!)

We never really kept a record (photos,etc.) 

of our previous projects 

It was just enough to do the work, 

let alone keep track of it!!

Thats why I am so glad

that I have this  

soap box......

and you!

I cant wait to show her to you,

our new "coop"

(cuz she is not a "nest" yet...) 

She is a true vintage gal

older 

worn 

chippy

dirty

 rusty

 beat up 

(she needs alot of work)

She is my best vintage find yet!!

hehehe.... 

I have lovingly named her "Edith" 

(which means "rich" and "blessed")

Doesn't "Edith" just sound like a

fun-lovin

apron wearin 

pie makin

ruffle-lovin

kinda gal??! 

She sounds glorious, huh?

{she giggles}

Well, she's not that cute.

Not in the least.

  

Thats not her...

hahahaha 

But you get the idea.

All I know is that we have 

hope and hard work

(and ALOT of crying sweat and hand tools)

on our side! 

Wait til you see what we are gonna do with her......

EEEEeeeeek ! ! !

Did I tell you I am sooo excited??!!

K, gotta go.

I just gave myself a tummy-ache from all the excitement .....
