<h2>
Changes Are On The Way!</h2>
<div>
Where has this year gone? It's so hard to believe that Christmas is only weeks away!!! It is like, I just blinked, and the year is almost gone. How does that happen? 2015 has been a full year for Shell's Vintage Charm and I made the decision in October to focus on my business full time. It has been wonderful and I have not looked back on leaving my steady income and position. This, however, means that I will be stepping up the game plan for Shell's Vintage Charm. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As I am looking forward to Christmas and the New Year, I am making some new business plans and changes in 2016. Some of the changes have already began and I am beyond <i>EXCITED!!! </i>I am currently working on revamping our website and blogging all in one place! New products, designs are also in the works. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I will be back with more details soon! I would love to hear any ideas on new products you would like to see listed and blogging topics you are interested in reading or learning about. </div>
<div>

The sunshine is beginning to peek over the trees, as I take a morning ride on the 4 Wheeler. I am a morning person, love mornings and there is nothing better than enjoying it in the country with a cup of coffee or a ride out in the pasture. Totally and truly love and enjoy being a small town girl, living in the country. <br />
<br />

<br />
We have a new addition on the hill, (one of the reasons that I was out and about on this particular morning). My daddy called to tell me that Baby (the spotted Jenny that I laid claim, to) had a new foal. Meet Long Tall Sally, named yes, from the song. My 8 year old granddaughter wanted the honor of naming this one. I am sure that Sally will be spoiled like the rest of the donkeys in no time at all. <br />

Being as how the Baby was not quiet ready to share Sally at the moment, I decided it was a great morning to ride around and enjoy the morning before the Oklahoma heat set in. Snapped this shot of the what was going to be a log cabin (my brother, was working on this project), an abandoned project as you can tell. It has made a great source for photo backdrops. <br />

Stopped along the way to watch a pretty blue dragon fly. It wasn't being very cooperative while I was trying to take the picture and this was the best one I could get.<br />

Love these little pink wildflowers, or I am sure they are probably a weed, but they are a very pretty weed, I think. <br />

<strike>A few more weeds with pretty flowers</strike>. I will just call them wildflowers, they are a flower and they grow wild, or maybe they are just colors of inspiration along the journey. <br />

Sampson, our Lab, stops to look at me. I am sure he is wondering and thinking, why are we stopping to take pictures again? He always tags along and patiently waits while I poke along and take pictures.<br />

The morning inspirational ride is over and it is time to "crack-a-lack". I made a very impromptu decision to set up as a vendor at the Peach Festival in Stratford. My inventory was ridiculously low and but we went anyway, had a wonderful time. New friends are always a pleasure to meet.<br />

What is a girl to do when she is needing curtains for the Glamper? You pull out your stash of old vintage doilies, napkins and flour sacks from my catch all container. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Decided that I wanted to use some of my flour sacks to make a curtain. So I pulled out the flour sacks and laid them out to see what I actually had. I didn't have enough to just use the flour sacks so, I added some of the doilies and napkins.<br />

The flour sacks that I had were pretty faded, some had been cut or torn. I decided to go with various sizes and to leave edges tattered and even made the seams on the outside to add to the shabby look. </div>

I absolutely Love how they turned out. You can see more pictures of the curtains, <a href="http://shellsvintagecharm.blogspot.com/2015/06/sweet-caroline-our-glamper-and-mobile.html">here</a>. I had two that were actually still a sack so I made pillows out of those to place also use in Glamper. </div>

As you can see they are very faded, and you can barely see the print. I added a few extra decorations, to give it more character. <br />

I had plans of taking them to the Glamper, and place them here in the dining area with the curtains, but the rain changed my mind for the moment. I started playing around with them in different places in the house. <br />

This is a corner of my dining room. I really like the way it looks here in the corner sitting in an old chair with a bonnet that both belonged to my Aunt Sis. They may or may not now make it to the Glamper. <br />

I hope that you had a great 4th of July weekend. Mine was terrific and spent with my littlest firecracker, Emberlynn. Time spent with family is always time well spent. Along with the usual cooking out with family, watching fireworks, we spent most of it taking it easy by our pool Which I lovingly call our "Redneck Water Hole". It is nothing fancy, just an above ground pool with a deck and gazebo (which the top did not make it during one of our Oklahoma spring storms). I love my Redneck Water Hole, it is my happy place along with my front porch (a whole other story this year). With all of the rain we have had this year, and just being so busy with all that has been going on, I have not placed or planted one flower this year. Have been planning on making pillows for my furniture and it hasn't gotten done, either. As I sit here writing this morning, I realize even in it's plain state and disarray this year, it is still my happy place. The sound of water is calming, the birds are chirping, the horses are in the pasture grazing and one ornery donkey, is trying to get my attention. As it is on the East side of my house, it is a great place to sit and have coffee in the morning, watch the sun rise and plan my day for Vintage Charm. <br />
<br />
As I sit here this morning reflecting and dreaming on my future with Vintage Charm, I am reaffirmed that I am on the right track and love what I do. I have taken the summer off from shows to work on my inventory. I have so many new designs and plans, that I am eagerly looking forward to the shows this fall. Sweet Caroline, our vintage mobile boutique, will be joining me for a few of them. In the meantime, I am will stay busy working on new products and designs. We are also in the process of updating our <a href="http://shellsvintagecharm.com/">website</a>, and working on a new logo.<br />
<br />
Can't wait to visit with everyone again this fall. In the meantime you can shop with us on our <a href="http://shellsvintagecharm.com/">website</a>, follow us on social media (<a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Shells-Vintage-Charm/222745554445822">Facebook</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/shelleyjp67">Twitter</a>, <a href="https://instagram.com/shellsvintagecharm/">Instagram,</a> and <a href="http://shellsvintagecharm.blogspot.com/">Blog</a>), and we have a booth at Baker's Mercantile in Tishomingo, OK. I sincerely hope, you will follow along in our journey as we move forward and grow.<br />
<br />
Life is truly good when you decide to follow your heart! Now to get in the studio/workroom and get busy!!! Have a great day! <br />
<br />
Stay Charmed,<br />

<br />
I made a raised stencil design on the cabinet doors for the Vintage Camper. After receiving several questions on how I made it, I thought I would doing a tutorial. <br />
<br />

<br />
Materials need:<br />

<br />
Place your stencil design of choice on the cabinet door. <br />

<br />
After a few set backs, and months of hard work, blood, sweat and tears, my dream is finally taking shape and seeing the efforts of all our (got to give my Prince Charming, his fair share of the credit, too) work. We still have a few things that we need to do, like the counter top, but all and all she is at least presentable and we were able to use her. We finally had a Grand Debut with her this past Saturday, during A Touch of Rust in Stillwater, OK. Although, I do plan to use her as part of my mobile boutique, I didn't put any inventory to sale inside on this trip. I think that she was a success and she had lots of traffic, coming and going out of her little door.<br />
<br />
Sharing pictures from our set up and her interior. <br />

It is so hard to believe that my little Emberlynn is already one!!! We celebrated her first birthday on March 29 th and her actual birthday was on the 31st. Just seems like yesterday that I was anxiously awaiting her arrival. Paisley had her and awesome party and the decorations were so cute. She made a cute little lemonade stand for photo props. Shhh....don't tell her this but I think she may have a little bit of her mom in her blood. LOL.<br />

I actually got to do something fun for Caroline the Glamper today. I actually painted the vintage ceiling tile for her ceiling. It made me feel like I was finally getting to see progress in the real deal instead of just images in my head. I am getting so excited but a little worried too, as time is ticking on her first show schedule. Check out Caroline the Glamper's page, I heard from a little birdie that she has updated her page. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><em>ExCiTeMeNt</em></span> is brewing!!!! It is getting so close to our first show of 2015. <span style="font-size: large;"><em>Only 18 days away!!!</em></span><span style="font-size: small;"> Hope you are making plans to attend the Junk Hippy Road Show at McAlester, OK on Saturday, February 21st at the Southeast Expo Center.</span><br />
<em><span style="font-size: large;"></span></em><br />
Hard to believe that January has already flown through and gone, but I am getting excited for show season to began. I think, I about have my show schedule booked and in place for 2015 (Of course, it is possible that I might add a few more along the way.) I only have one application out that I have not heard from at this time and it is in December, so hopefully, I will hear from it soon and can get it all set in stone. I am trying to leave a few months of summer open this year for some family time and of course getting in lots of junking along the way. Our show schedule is posted on the side bar so be sure to mark your calendars. <br />
<br />
Going to be and exciting year, as we will be bringing Caroline, the Glamper, along with us at a few of these shows. In fact, her big deput is scheduled in April at Junk Rodeo. I can hardly wait to get her finished and ready to roll in all her Vintage Charm glory. <br />

How is your week going? It has been busy as usual , but we have been having some <i>BeAuTiFuL </i>, warm weather the last few days in Oklahoma. Unfortunately, I have been stuck in the office the last two days (aka The Dungeon) and haven't enjoyed it as I would have liked. Today, I had my lunch break at the park. Of course the down side of that is that I didn't want to go back to the office, where there is not even a window to look out of. This was my Fr<i>I</i>d<i>Ay </i>and I have the rest of the week to work on my <i>"Charm."</i>!!!

Last Friday, January 24th was the last business day of Birds of a Feather, in Norman, Oklahoma, where I was a vendor. So on Saturday my Prince Charming and I headed out early to load up my displays and remaining inventory. It was a bittersweet day, but I am planning to work on building up inventory for shows, while concentrating on my remaining vendor booth location at Baker's Mercantile in Tishomingo, Oklahoma. With that being said, I spent Sunday afternoon working on my vendor space and adding inventory. I am loving how it is coming along! </div>

Hi All! I have been absent from the blog world for a while. Hope that you all had a Very Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year! As I have reflected back on 2014, I am truly amazed at the growth in Shell's Vintage Charm. Our show calendar expanded, not only did we add more shows in our home state of Oklahoma,but we now travel to shows in both Texas and Arkansas. We currently have products in three retail locations. We have our own domain in which to shop and still have a Etsy shop available.<br />
<br />
I am so excited as we begin the journey into 2015. It is going to be an a great year and full of new adventures. I want to thank each of you. Without your encouragement, support and following us on our adventures we would not be where we are today. We look forward to another full year of blessing and "charm" and hope that you will continue to follow along with us.

I did a little "junkin" this weekend. (ok... may a lot of junkin this weekend) I lucked into this sweet vintage camper trailer. I can't wait to turn her into a Glamper and load her up with "Charm"!!! Everyone that I have told in my family, but Donna, thinks that I have totally fell off my rocker, but I can see the beauty in her. Grand adventures are ahead for Shell's Vintage Charm. </div>

My awesome Prince Charming was not so easily won over by her beauty and "Charm." I had to do a little persuasion. He has come a looong way, in the last couple of years, since I began Vintage Charm, but he still sometimes has a hard time seeing what I see, sometimes. I am sure that The Junk Gypsies do not get some of the looks I get when they ask their carpenter to make or fix things. But all in all it is good and I now have my vintage camper trailer.</div>

She has lovingly been named Sweet Caroline and vision of Glamping adventures are dancing in my head. Now for the restoration process to begin.</div>

She has her own page and I am sure she will be keeping you up to date on her progress, as she is excited to become a Sparkling Princess in the World of Glamping. You can visit her page <a href="http://shellsvintagecharm.blogspot.com/p/carol.html">here</a>.</div>

How time continues to get away from me! We have been busy here at Vintage Charm and I haven't been good at all to keep up with my Blog page. I hope that I still have some followers. I did, however, take a much needed break this weekend. I visited with Grandbabies and even went on a picnic and fishing with my wonderful Prince Charming. Feeling so much more refreshed, relaxed, and have the creative juices flowing again and ready to jump back in with both feet and get some new products ready for Vintage Charm. It is going to be a busy summer, we are adding more shows to our schedule and are now venturing into Texas for some, as well. Thank you for continuing to following me along the way. I am sharing some pictures from my weekend. <br />

What's a girl to do on a snowy, sleety, wintery day? Well... I know what I should be doing, the usual things that I am way far behind on like laundry, sweeping, dishes, and working on gathering all my tax receipts. Of course who wants to work on that kind of stuff on a cold blustery day when you could be snuggling under a warm, fuzzy blanket catching up with all of my blog friends, it has been way to long. There has been a lot going on at Shell's Vintage Charm, that I want to share with you all.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have expanded in several areas and have been staying busy. As you know, I have gotten my own domain at <a href="http://shellsvintagecharm.com/">http://shellsvintagecharm.com</a> where you can purchase my handmade designs online, as well as keeping my <a href="http://shellsvintagecharm.etsy.com/">Etsy</a> shop open. I recently also joined <a href="http://shabbycottageshops.com/">Shabby Cottage Shops</a>, a great online shopping mall. I also belong to <a href="http://etsycottagestyle.ning.com/">Etsy Cottage Style</a>, it is a great community of artists who love cottage style. I still have my booth space at Tish Creative Country and I have added several new shows that I will be attending as a vendor starting in March. </div>

My most exciting news is I am getting a new grandbaby in April! <span style="font-size: large;"><em>It's a girl!!!</em></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I am getting <em>excited and can hardly wait</em> to get my hands on her! My grandbabies are my greatest joy and blessings. Rachel and Blaydon bring so much sunshine into this grammy's heart that with the third one I am sure that I will be blessed beyond belief!!! </span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
During all this wonderful excitement and while waiting on my new ray of sunshine, I have decided to launch a new design line, <em><span style="font-size: large;">Embers of my Hart</span></em>, shabby chic designs for babies and children. I am introducing three of the first products to you today. They also make great Valentine gifts, as well. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now to explain the meaning and the inspiration behind the name of my new design line. My daughter, Paisley is planning on naming the baby, Emberlynn Grace. She was tinkering (yes, I am a Okie) around with the thought of naming the baby after my grandmother, Jewel Hart. One afternoon while searching through the book of baby names. She happened across the name, Emberlynn which means, precious pretty jewel. So long story short... with Emberlynn being the inspiration of my making much more shabby chic baby items and all of my grandchildren being the embers of my heart, I have decided upon the Embers of my<strike> Heart</strike> Hart. I am still trying to decide if I want to use the spelling for Hart as my Grandmother's name or if I should spell it correctly so everyone won't think that I can't spell correctly. (which I do happen to be a pretty bad at spelling).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I am really wanting to use Hart because of it being my grandmother's name and my mother's maiden name. I started Shell's Vintage Charm with the image of my dad's grandmother (you can see more of the story behind this <a href="http://shellsvintagecharm.blogspot.com/2013/01/hearts.html">here</a>, if interested). My friends joke with me about selling my own grandmother, but I try to use as many of the vintage photo images of my own family members, whenever possible. I love being able to use part of my heritage into my Vintage Charm business.</div>

Hi Everyone! Wow, this month has almost completely slipped away from me. I have no idea how it went so fast. I also can't believe that Christmas is just right around the corner. I have updated my website today, with some new products and will begin adding some new Christmas designs along the way. <a href="http://shellsvintagecharm.com/">Go visit my webpage at Shell's Vintage Charm.com. </a> <br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Hi, Everyone! Hope your week is going well. It has been <em>busy and non-stop</em> for me, but a good one. My stitches are healing and I am starting to feel much better after having my small surgical procedure on Thursday to remove the inflamed cyst that had been making me feel so bad. Friday night Mr. Prince Charming and I sat up my booth space to be prepared for the Annual Amish Auction bright and early Saturday morning. The weather was very corporative and couldn't have asked for a better September day in Oklahoma. There was a great turn out and as always it is so nice to meet new friends and customers and catch up with returning ones. I love to hear the stories of how they are using something they have purchased from me in the past. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Needless to say my big adventure this week has been trying to replenish and make new items to put into my booth for the upcoming show. I will be at Sooner Trade Days located at the Durant Choctaw Casino starting Friday, September 20th thru Sunday, September 22nd. Drop by for a visit and see what I have been working on. I may even have a few items available to start your Christmas decorating or shopping. <em>( I hear that Christmas is only 97 days away.)</em> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I have started another exciting adventure this week that will be on going. I am now a Proud member of <a href="http://shabbycottageshops.com/">Shabby Cottage Shops</a>. Shabby Cottage Shops is a great online shopping mall, go by and take a look at all the terrific shops. I can't wait for all the new adventures that this will be bringing. Totally <em>EXCITED</em> about all the possibilities!!! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Well enough of my rambling for today, I want to share with you <em>The Ole Rugged Cross</em>. I have had this idea in my head for a while and finally went out and got the piece of old vintage ceiling tile that I had been saving just for this project. Mr. Prince Charming looked at me like I had lost my mind. He thought it was too rusty and in bad shape and that I shouldn't bother. <em>Sooooo.....</em> I thought well maybe he is right. <em>(Shhhh....don't tell him I said or thought that!)</em> I kept going back picking it up and looking at it. Yeah, I thought I can do this, it is going to look <em>AWESOME</em>! Yes, it has ragged edges and it has lots of rust, and the paint is chipped. But....you know what I always say " The more rust and chippy the better!" I got out the sander and wire brush and went to town on the rust. After getting it all cleaned up, Mr. Prince Charming decided that maybe<em> I was right (he didn't say that out loud, but I know he had to be thinking it), </em>cut a board to be placed behind it for me and helped me attach the cross. I LOVE IT!!! I think about the song we sing in Church about the Ole Rugged Cross when I look at it. I think it turned out really cute, just the right amount of chippy and rust for the cross. I would love to keep it for myself, but I have a friend that reminds, me all the time that you can't keep everything you make for yourself. <em> (Sigh) </em></span></div>

Today, I am sharing with you a treasure, a friend found at a yard sale about a year ago. A handmade hobby horse. It was love at first!!! The minute I saw it, I knew that it had to be painted, distressed and she needed a shabtabulous mane and tail. I love the way she turned out. Not too shabby! ;) </div>

I love making Memory Pillows. Pillow is made with two ruffles on outer edges only. Edges are frayed. The doily that was picked up at a flea market and I added buttons for details. The upper corner is decorated with scraps of fabric tied into a bow, bits of lace with lace rolled rose and bling center. Inside the pocket, I have tucked my favorite vintage picture of my Great Grandmother Bessie. and a graphic image from <a href="http://thegraphicsfairy.com/">The Graphic Fairy</a>. I didn't know my Dad's grandmother, but I often what she would think about becoming part of my branding logo and in so many of my projects. What special items would you put in your Memory Pillow? </div>

The frame was repurposed from a broken clock picture. I replaced the broken glass and picture with chicken wire. This makes the perfect memo holder with the clothespins that have been painted pink with some fluff and buttons. Chicken wire also makes great bow holders for your little ones or use as a jewelry holder for yourself. Possibilities are endless!</div>

Marvelous Monday to you! Hope that you had a great weekend. We had a marathon work day on Saturday and then on Sunday, my Mr. Prince Charming, had to go back to work, so that left me rambling around on my own. I have two shows coming up back to back, in just a few weeks. YIKES! Saturday, we spent most of the time cleaning and getting project ready to work on. Dust was flying from the sander and as usual I ended up with as much paint on me as my projects. So I have several larger pieces now ready to begin repurposing. <br />
<br />
Sunday I started working on a few of the books that I had torn off covers from and had them stained and ready to add the "charm". I had found the perfect graphics from <a href="http://thegraphicsfairy.com/">The Graphics Fairy</a> that I wanted to use. I printed them out and did a little bit of distressing and added to the cover before adding lace, flowers, tags, charms and torn tattered doilies. I love the way they turned out. They will be making their way to my <a href="http://shellsvintage.com/">website</a> and booth space this week.<br />
