On Monday I was in Hobby Lobby. They had their rubber stamps 40% off. So I strolled the aisles, looking at the deals. I always carry my measuring tape in the car, and found this piece of distressed furniture that I went back and bought yesterday.
Here’s the top. Isn’t it cute? Reminds me somehow of beach colors. It was marked down from $150 to $75.

It was just what I needed to round off my computer desk area. I have a glass desk with no drawers. A girl’s gotta have drawers to stash stuff in!

So I spent all day today trying to purge and organize.
I also found this little metal home sign for just over a dollar while at HL.

The last couple of times Hobby Lobby has had their rubber stamps on sale, I’ve managed to come home empty-handed. But this time I bought four.
A rooster, the suitcases stamp next to it on the third row, a kerosene lantern stamp, and one featuring vintage postage.

Of course I have some new blogs for you to check out.
Maison Decor is Amy’s blog. She is an interior designer specializing in window treatments and paint colors. She is a wife, mom, stepmom, dog owner and lover, gardener, tinkerer, secret painter and fancier of French Country elegance in design.
Adventures Of The Striped Stockings is Celia’s blog. Her blog started out as a place to have fun wearing striped stockings. But it has become a place to document her journey. Celia is enjoying being a homebody, gardening and creating a home that is warm and inviting.
Vintage Remixed and Faded Highways are two blogs by the same couple, who live in Georgia. They often take road trips. And when they do, they take the back roads and explore small towns. Where life is a bit slower and a whole lot sweeter. These two blogs chronicle their adventures and travels in Faded Highways, while focusing on vintage decorating with Vintage Remixed.
So have a great holiday weekend this July 4th. And when you’re too pooped to party, settle down in front of the computer and visit these nice folks who are new to our blogging community.
Welcome Wagon Friday 7/1/10 & Good Sales
July 1, 2010 By
What a fun table! Hobby Lobby is just such a fun store with lots of good deals!
I’ve been trying to find a copy of the Romantic Homes magazine and haven’t been able to find one at any store!
Brenda you always find the best pieces to add to your already beautiful home.
Wish I lived close to you so we could go shopping together.
I always love your Fridays Welcome Wagon.
Have a safe and Happy 4th
Love

Oh I LOVE that table!! I need to revamp my “summer” creative space. Winters, I use my garage, but I would melt in the summer. I just really enjoy seeing glimpses into your creative, cozy home.
My Mom and Sister have TONS of stamps. They used to go to stamp conventions. My sister used to work in one in Claremont, CA. Mom just boxed up a box of them and gave them all to me. I need a place to store them. Did someone build your shelf?
I heard we are getting a Hobby Lobby in Henderson, NV…so I will have to check it out. All we have are Michaels and Joanns…
The shelf/table is perfect. I love it’s shabbiness! And beachiness! Just love it!! ;-D
We have a glass desk in our office with no drawers~we probably have the same thing…drives me crazy.
Off to visit your recommendations. Have a great 4th, Brenda!

What a fun find at Hobby Lobby. Thanks so much for the sweet comment. Your blog is very inspiring!
Have a lovely fourth,
Molly
Where did that comment go? I typed one and it disappeared!
I said…love the way you display your rubber stamps. They look so neat all together there.
I’m off to visit your new friends.
I just discovered Hobby Lobby last year! What a fun store. You know, I’ve tried stamping and I’m just not very good at it. You have a great little collection of stamps. I like the one that looks like a vintage postcard. Always enjoy your blog suggestions.
Oh la la what a great HL find!!! I love that beachy top too. We can never have enough craft organizational supply cubbies!!! It would be a nice island prep area in a kitchen too…lots of possibilities!!!
I have been working on my craft stash for days trying the get more organized so I can start having fun again!!!
Love the peek of your corner and the kitchen…you have treasures everywhere!!!
I live in Oklahoma near OKC and we have had some milder weather after our June heatwave of temps over 100!! Whew!
I am off to check out the blogs you mentioned.. they all sound wonderful!! What I wouldn’t give to go junkin’ on some backroads !!!
Have a Blessed 4th!!!
Wow! That’s some collection you have! Looks like you have MANY collections. That desk is beachy, you are right, and very eclectic. I liked it when I saw it. Lucky find!
I love your new table!! How bright and cheery!!
You have the most wonderful collections and decortae so beautifully with them all!
Happy 4th dear Brenda!
Love,
Sue
Brenda, you have a huge stamp collection. I was in Hobby Lobby today, too and saw the furniture like that. I didn’t go near the stamps so I did not know they were on sale. Oh well, I don’t use them much anyway.
Hi Brenda…
Ohhh…I love your new table/cabinet, my friend! It’s sooo YOU and looks absolutely “at home” in your beautiful place!!! I love all the pretty colored wooden slats on the top and bottom shelf…it reminds me of the beach as well! Hehe! You sure got a great deal on it…I’m so happy for you, my friend!
I also just wanted to thank you for hosting “Welcome Wagon” Fridays! I love popping over to your place on Fridays to see who is new in town! Hehe! I really do enjoy checking out new blogs and meeting these creative and talented people! Thank you!!!
Have a Happy 4th of July, my friend!

Brenda, I am honored you chose to feature my blog!! Thank you so much! I had a few of your guests come by and take a look at my blog, and I am so appreciative.
You really scored today, Brenda! I love the table and it’s vintage, beachy quality. Thanks for visiting Brynwood and commenting on my quilt. I thought you might like the colors!
Have a great weekend.

I’m off to visit the newest “neighbors”. I look forward to your Friday Welcome Wagon!
That is a sweet piece! It looks great! You have a ton of STAMPS! wow!!! Enjoy the coming weekend and 4th Of July! Mica
What a wonderful collection of stamps and ribbons…and I love the colorful table!
I so enjoy your blog – Great photos, Great ideas
Hi Brenda, just taken a peek at your ‘distressed’ little table. Here in the Uk it wouldn’t be considered ‘distressed’ but downright suicidal lol.
LOVE your new table – you always find the cutest tings — you’re such an inspiration to me .. Have a great 4th of July..
What a great table with all of those fun colors. Enjoy your weekend.

Hi Brenda
what a brilliant purchase that table is!! Love the striped top, it conveys a beach-vintage feeling.. I have to say, I love to look at pictures of your house! Sorry, I’m indeed a bit nosey:-)
happy weekend and happy 4th July!
xo
That’s a cute piece, Brenda, and perfect for your house! It does have a beachy look, and I really like the colors.
I popped over to one blog and loved it, and now I will check out the others.
Will email you later…
XO,
Sheila
Hi Brenda! So many bloggers talk about Hobby Lobby and we don’t have one. Boo hoo!! Maybe there is an online shop. I want to say that you must have the largest collection of rubber stamps. Oh, and all of your ribbon … a creative girl’s paradise!! I’ll be sure to stop by and welcome some new friends and to you my dear friend, have a wonderful 4th!!
Lots of love,
Susan and Bentley

Your new table looks perfect in your house. I have never seen a nicer looking collection of rubber stamps. What a great idea. I’m curious to know if you have done a post featuring some of your stamping projects? I have been picking them up here and there, but afraid I’m not too creative when I go to use them.
Have a wonderful holiday weekend.
Brenda that awesome table was made especially for you! It’s perfect in your beautiful home. ♥
It’s perfect!
Brenda, I LOVE your stamp shelf!! And your new table is so perfect, it was sure to be waiting for you. Thanks so much for the new blogs – already enjoying visiting them. Wishing you a weekend of relaxation and enjoyment. – g
Why that table looks like it was made for you! Love those colors. I hope you have a marvelous holiday!
Great find, Brenda. It really does look old! You always put everything together in your home so beautifully!
