Jackie My Little Birdie Told me

IMG_0147 (2)

I guess for a personal style preference I would say I fancy a little bit of vintage renaissance, steam punk, and gypsy. Although I do attempt to put my own twist on the styles I like, and no matter how fancy the party dress…. I say, bare foot is the way to go!

Do what you love….right?!

On a decorative note, I delight in SO MANY different things, styles, and colors…..with a painful indecision for what I like best. It has been very difficult to pick one style to have myself “known” for creating.

Therefore….I choose ALL!!

I’m Jackie, and I figured the only way to satisfy my itch, so to speak, is not to limit myself to any one thing. That being said, if I like a piece of furniture and it “speaks to me”, whether its french provincial, rustic farmhouse, or just plain antique/vintage, I will enjoy recreating it into something new and exciting! If there’s a story behind a piece, I love it more… And sometimes find it hard to part with….and sometimes, I DON’T !!! I can always find a place in my house for something when I absolutely love it!

Just Create

In the past I have had many reserves about doing this sort of thing, fears that no one would like what I do, but as I move forward and ‘just create’, don’t over think it, and keep it simple, ultimately folks like it!

I love tchotchkes! (just ask my very patient husband who calls them knick knacks and paddy wacks). If I see something with potential or an item that can be made into something else… well you get the picture… snatch it up, and get to work! I also enjoy writing, photography, decorating/designing. And… my first children’s book “Princess Pee and the Monkey” is going to launch in spring 2022!

My Little Birdie

I adore birds and I’ve owned this little guy since he was 4 months old, he is the incentive for the name “My Little Birdie Told Me”. All he does is mumble a whole lot of nothing… non stop all day…. he has a crazy personality and spends a lot of time laying on his back bonking himself in the head with his little stuffed toys; he is like owning a perpetual 2 year old… never a dull moment! I am also a rescue advocate, and have 4 rescue dogs, they are my children!

I am a garage sale junkie, I’ll scour the local thrift stores, flea markets, old barns and attics and I also don’t mind picking something up off the side of the road.

It is very true… one mans “junque” really is another mans, (or woman’s) TREASURE! I find much joy in doing what I do, but never do I want to be so caught up in myself or any project that I lose track of what is most important to me in my life…. Jesus, my amazing husband, Sam and my “kids”!

At the end of the day, these are the things that really, really matter!

THE LORD IS MY ROCK, AND MY FORTRESS, AND MY DELIVERER; MY GOD, MY STRENGTH, IN WHOM I WILL TRUST…
Psalm 18:2
