June 2015....Most of these were created back in 2009, but since that post gets a lot of views, I'm adding some additional pics of baskets that we created that same year...Several people have messaged us over the years with other fun themes including Pirates, Environmentally Friendly, Organic, Ocean Theme, Superheroes & more...Even though these were made 6 years ago, there are some fun ideas that can be adapted for not only newborns but toddlers too.<br />

<br />
My mom, Denise, created this blog a few years back when she entered the vintage re-sale scene. She was an elementary school teacher by trade but an artist, collector, and treasure hunter by heart. Students, parents & faculty loved her but it was later in her teaching career where she had the opportunity to work in the visual arts department that really lit her spark for teaching and being an advocate for the artist in all of us. She absolutely loved it. She worked with schools, companies & the community to host art shows, school exhibits, teacher workshops, and was most passionate about integrating the arts into student's lives. She inspired, supported & challenged both students & teachers. A few years ago we were set up at an art show and a parent recognized my mom, (well I should say she noticed my mom's accent - her charming Southern West Virginia twang) and my mom remembered the family and as they hugged, the parent eagerly began to tell the story of her daughter. Her daughter was a gifted painter in high school and it was my mom who encouraged her to enter her work in exhibits & shows, win scholarships, and really helped her believe in herself and her artwork. The daughter went on to art school and upon graduating college decided to become a college art professor herself. The mother was grateful to my mom, even though 15 years had passed, their family still remembered the support & positive influence Denise had on their family. In listening to that story, in that moment, I just remember feeling so proud of my mom. She loved what she did and I hoped she knew the impact on herself & others she had by living her true spark.<br />
<br />
After retiring from the teaching world she was able to focus on her love of gardening & flea markets. The gardening bug was from her mom- when I was a kid, my grandma's garden was full of everything from pumpkins, to giant corn stalks to vines of green beans. My grandma knew every flower & plant on her property and loved walking around and telling you about each one. Denise was the same way but roses were definitely her favorite. My mom could spend from sun up to sun down in her plants, yard & garden, and in the last few years I really think that's what kept her energy up & her spirit fed. You would have never known she had stage 3 ovarian cancer, and most people didn't. <br />
<br />
The love of flea markets, auctions, & garage sales was from her dad. I would bet my grandpa was known in at least 5 states as one of the coolest trading & dealing old timers around. The countless stories I've heard about him over the years could easily fill a book or two. People would actually drive hours out of their way just to stop by and see what he had, and most of the time 'folks' really just wanted to sit and listen to him tell stories. He was a true American Picker decades before any reality TV shows. He taught my mom a lot: to see value in things, monetary value but more importantly the history, the workmanship & the creativity in anything from an antique coin to the engine of a Model T Ford. Denise married her knowledge of antiques and her love of art. Many of her favorite finds she loved as they were, but she also had an eye for finding pieces that she could add to, take apart, re-paint, or "marry" with another piece. In the mid 1990's we had a tiny little art gallery where we held workshops on our back patio & inside we mainly featured her art chairs. Nothing excited her more than finding an odd chair. It was a creative challenge for her to find just the right woman to paint on the chair. It was fun to watch her work, and she loved it. <br />
<br />
She & her husband spent several years in retirement buying, fixing & flipping homes. As a kid she would tell me about how she would get a shoe box and the Sears & Montgomery Wards catalogues and cut out sofas, lamps and chairs and glue them into the shoe box to create her dream house. And so it was during these home buying years that she fed her passion to decorate with hand painted murals & themed rooms - like Paris Apartment & Greco Roman Villa. <br />
<br />
Years later, she started White Horse Relics, and when I returned from living in Mexico I not only helped with her business but soon after her cancer treatments as well.<br />
<br />
She was first diagnosed with 12 tumors, 8 of them the size of golf balls. Surgeries & chemo cocktails followed her for the next 3 1/2 years. We went through just about every western medical treatment, she saw the best doctors on two different coasts. The day she got the diagnosis I looked up an old friend, you gotta love Facebook (sometimes). <br />
<br />
His name is Frederick, and I first met him when I was 19 & my Mom and I were at (of all things) an estate sale one weekend, where this artsy & energetic lady was moving and selling a lot of fun stuff. We spent at least two hours just oohing and aweing and picking. And of course she and my mom hit it off, my mom was like my grandpa- people were just drawn to her energy. Because of this new love fest with the cool lady & her neat stuff, she felt open enough to invite us back the next day to a party she was having with friends. That's when we met Frederick. A spiritual healer, teacher & guide who has this calm & knowing energy about him that is intoxicating . People come into your life at certain times and sometimes it's not evident right then as to why. While we stayed friends and kept in touch with him over the next 5 years, it was almost 15 years later that the real reason for the friendship revealed itself. The love, support & guidance that he gave Denise, myself & my girls is immeasurable. It was through the cancer that my mom healed. She learned to love herself, to forgive herself, to feel, to love, to let go. She worked through her hurt and her fear and her anger. It wasn't easy and it took several years, but she came to a place of trust, calm & knowing. Of course she still had hopes & dreams, things she still wanted to do in this life, but we feel she was at peace to make the transition and she went in December of last year at the age of 65.<br />
<br />
It's obviously taken me many months to be able to write this post. I would sit at the computer and honestly I couldn't write one single word. The tears would start flowing and the emotions would overtake me and I was paralyzed. I think I felt like as long as I didn't write this, her passing wouldn't be real in some way. With the sweet smiles of my girls & the loving support of a friend, I was able to do this today. Really no words exist that can even come close to describing her, her impact on the people she knew & loved or how much she is missed. It was standing room only at her memorial service in the small town where she went to high school and her mother still lives. She wore many hats in her lifetime ( or as she would prefer to wear 'crowns' ). From the Little Girl skipping down a dirt hollow road in a coal mine town nestled in the foothills of the Appalachian mountains, to high school Homecoming Queen, to an Inspiring Educator, to a Beautiful Mom, to an Artist, to a Wannabe Motown Dancer, to a Life Long Friend, to Daughter, to Pinterest Addict, to Sister, to my girl's Amazing Nani & the list could go on....but really to Anyone that knew her she is Simply Unforgettable.<br />
<br />
My daughters and I are slowly getting back to creating and hope to continue some of Denise's projects. We definitely don't have her unique eye but I think we do have a bit of her spark & love for creating. <br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Love the idea of taking something someone once collected, cuddled, loved or cherished, and re-creating it into something we love. So many mixed media artists are doing amazing assemblages with vintage dolls, parts & pieces. The possibilities are fun to play with & the creative process inspiring. Sometimes it only takes that doll in the bottom of the box, with the missing body & crack running down her forehead, to whisper something to you & before she knows it, she's been crowned! W</span><span style="font-family: inherit;">e've 'assembled' some of our favorites.....</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: x-large;">A Sweet Memory</span><br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Denise made this mixed media doll, titled "My Amazing Grace", in 2013. It's made with items given to her by her dad, old keys and watch parts, and also she included things that reminded her of him, a very sweet and special project. She played around with the idea of painting a face on her, but came to love the idea of the magnifying glass head magnifying the cross.</span></div>

Sometimes you find those special thrift store sweeties, where you can see potential past the broken legs & hair stubble. One afternoon, a china doll with broken legs, made her way to our garage. There she happened to meet a lovely floral teapot with a dented lid. The love poured & now they will forever be 'tea mates'. We added vintage pale pink trim, old paper flowers and a crown we pieced together out of metal bits. Her arms are loosely tied on with pale pink ribbon. She ended up traveling half way around the globe to a buyer in South Africa.</div>

A Delightful Dilemma:</div>
<div align="center">
In staging the house for showings we definitely needed a headboard for this bedroom.</div>
<div align="center">
Our good friend and fellow artist, Carol Rea, happened to have this wonderful French Provincial twin headboard that belonged to her mother. It still had it's original green paint, great design & patina and was in beautiful condition. She was sweet enough to let us try it in the room and what a perfect touch! Now that we had the perfect twin headboard, all we needed was to transform it to fit the queen size mattress.</div>

And of course transforming around here usually means crowns & wings! To age the wings and give them an old world charm and texture Denise took a pair of large feathered wings, ones like you buy in a costume store, (or if you are lucky at the thrift store) and painted them. She's done this technique for years and incorporates these wings on a variety of different pieces. For the paint, you can use any type of acrylic paint, satin or flat finish. Helpful Hint: Start at the bottom tip and work your way up the wing. For an extra aged look, once the paint dries you can go over them with a dark glaze. We're not sure if they still make it, but Ralph Lauren made a glaze called Tobacco that she uses quite a lot. It's not at all like a dark wax which is used now in aging furniture, the glaze is painted on. This pair of wings only has the acrylic paint.</div>
<div align="center">
For the headboard we cut the wings down the middle and then tacked them with small furniture tacks to the back of the headboard.</div>

Six months ago we started the process of getting mom and Jamie's house ready to sell. All of the cleaning and staging and frozen pizza for dinner nights are thankfully behind us & we are finally happy to report that the realtor listing papers were signed yesterday. I asked my mom, after the realtors walked through and complimented her talents and beautiful work in designing and staging the property, if she was sad to leave? She surprisingly didn't hesitate in answering. "No" she said with a smile, "this house is a dream home and it's been a wonderful 10 years, but it's just too much work!"<br />

I frantically snapped photos before the realtor showing yesterday and was shocked when I downloaded them from the camera onto the computer- there were over 400! Lots of friends and family have been so supportive of us neglecting them over the past few months in focusing on this sale, so I hope everyone enjoys these next 3 or 4 posts of the house. We've had so many wonderful events with Family & Friends here and we look forward to creating new memories wherever our path leads... </div>

Spent every second up until yesterday afternoon getting the house ready for the realtor appointment- we still have some hauling and cleaning to do, but the majority of our work is done and now we just let the house do it's thing and know someone will fall in love with it as much as we have! This post I'll upload photos of the back exterior and more from the downstairs interior...</div>

Two cute stories about the back patio.</div>
<div align="center">
When Denise & Jamie first moved into the house there was no landscaping. Denise designed everything, down to the last blade of grass, however for the Homeowner's Association she needed a Landscape Architect to submit the plans. After approval and installation (installation mostly consisting of Denise digging holes, planting and staining) the architect was so impressed by her concrete stain job that he had a friend at Behr come out, who in turn loved it as well, and had it photographed. Now this was years ago, not long after they moved into the house. Fast forward to the summer of 2010 and friends are asking our opinion on staining concrete inside their new store. They are showing us color options and I see the cover photo of the concrete stain brochure and it looks familiar, but it doesn't register. I say to Denise, that looks like your patio and fireplace, it takes her a few seconds too and we both smile...fast forward to spring 2013 and Denise is thinking about re-staining the back patio for the house sale- even though we all love the worn and aged look. She's shopping and there again is her patio on the cover of the Behr Concrete Dye Kit...she bought the kit just for the photo!</div>

Here's the last group of photos of the upstairs and outside. Surprisingly, we are doing a good job </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
of keeping every room neat and clean for the realtor caravan and future showings.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's strange having the place so bare! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was tough, but we really tried to edit out some of our 'eclectic items' </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
while still showing the fun, charm & potential of the house. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As long as we are here we will continue to work on our White Horse Relics finds & creations. </div>

This is the third year our sweet Sophie has created her Dia de Los Muertos hair accessories currently available online at Etsy under our shop: whitehorserelics. We've also put them in our AOC space in Solana Beach, Ca.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She was 11 when we returned to the states from living abroad in Mexico. In that same year she started her own line of handmade accessories. I think the Dia de Los Muertos pins and accessories are one of her favorite designs to create. At the age of 10 she spent Dia de Los Muertos with family inside a Mexico City cemetery, surrounded the whole night by thousands of beautiful people, vibrant colors, flowers, food, laughter, stories and prayers. I think she draws subconsciously from her heritage and early years in creating her artwork, and yet a lot of what she does is simply her....talented, cool & sweet :)</div>

Thanks for taking a look!</div>

A busy summer, mostly filled with endless days spent getting Denise's house ready for sale this month- the end is in sight which brings with it lots of emotions, this has been such a great space and place to call home for a lot of years, we are very thankful for the memories. It's also pretty exciting to think about and plan for our next home and adventure, Denise is thinking about a move back east that will put her closer to friends & family and fulfill her new found addiction to bird watching on the front porch. As for the girls and me, at this point it's pretty much wherever the wind takes us.<br />
<br />
We did finally enter the 21st century this summer and started selling online, we are on eBay and Etsy and hopefully I can figure out how to put links up on the blog. I'll post pics of some of our items- we have a few things listed with more to come this weekend so please check it out- <br />
For Etsy we are under our name: whitehorserelics<br />
AND <br />
For eBay it's: whitehorserelics88<br />
<br />
We took a mini road trip this past week with our good friend & artist, Carol Rea, up to Roger's Garden, <a href="http://rogersgardens.com/">http://rogersgardens.com/</a> in Orange County. We saw their AMAZING Halloween Gallery with gorgeous, lovely, creepy works of art from California artists. It was a much needed, fun filled & inspiring morning of ohhhhing and awwwwing!! I'll post some pics from their website.. <br />

Maybe leave the gorgeous inlaid tops as is but paint the side trim, cherubs and legs?<br />

Denise was inspired by other artist's bird creations and had so much fun creating this little guy<br />
from vintage and new metal embellishments. The ironic thing was that she unknowingly picked a vintage tray<br />
to display him on that is engraved from the 1960's and reads "Head Vulture"</td></tr>

Ok so apparently Denise is not the only one with an affection for cages, I talked her into purchasing this tall beauty earlier this month- we paid way too much for it- but I love the proportions- it's tall yet slender. And of course we thought the seated Santos Figure made the perfect tenant. We've had her displayed at the store standing in a display case, but for the cage we added wings and played around with how to place her in the cage. We finally decided to cut a side out of a smaller wire birdcage we had- transforming it into a swing. The clock face on the bottom is purely decorative but it would be very easy to transform this into a functioning piece of art by screwing a light bulb into the top and making it a lamp or by installing a functioning clock in the bottom.</div>

</tbody></table>
Now I couldn't find a nest big enough to stick this sweet girl in but I did stick her in our booth this week. She was so easy to paint! You can find these ceramic statues just about anywhere now that garden and patio decor is everywhere- she did have a nice smooth pale grey finish to her before I even put a brush to her which really made my job a lot easier. We happen to have all of these shades of Annie Sloan Chalk paint- I should list them- but I'm too lazy to go out to the garage and find them- except for the grapes- I mixed duck egg blue and antoinette pink to get this purple shade. I think I used Coco for her hair, knowing it would most likely darken once I applied dark wax. I only clear waxed her skin, white dress and white hair band before dark waxing the entire thing. I know there are several brands of chalk paint on the market and in a pinch we sometimes make our own, but for us there is no comparison, AS chalk paint and wax is awesome.</div>

We took this lovely lady over to Cedros yesterday. Denise has been working on her for quite some time and selling some pieces over the weekend at AOC inspired her to complete this White Santos Figure and get it into the booth. It's been a fun creative process working with these reproduction santos figures because they are like a blank canvas and you're able to play around with them- drilling holes, gluing, tweaking and transforming. It's interesting because santos figures I adorn are simple- a crown, a cross necklace- pretty predictable and basic. However you know it's one of Denise's when it lights up, has gorgeous bling and lots and lots of tulle. She and I are often opposites when it comes to design and yet we have so much fun working and creating together. She is up in LA today at the docs- still working on her health and healing path and I couldn't be more proud of her :)<br />

I only had one shopping day for the Flea Market but it was fun. As always I found tons of things I either couldn't afford or cram into my suitcase but just getting to look is always an adventure. I managed to make just a few purchases and my favorite find:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
an Agapito Labios Painting from the mid 20th century</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love the subject and my girls and I had this same view of the Warrior & Princess Volcanoes from our home outside of Mexico City a few years ago- so this painting was an especially sweet find.</div>

We've been enjoying a slow and relaxing start to 2013! Denise still has some healthy healing to do and fortunately her doctor says creating is the best medicine! So this month we've put a few new items in Antiques on Cedros, we've got a couple of items in the works, and there's a hundred items waiting in the wings (a.k.a the garage)</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This fun altar cabinet was Denise's Christmas gift this year, I found the cabinet and lock at Tuesday Mornings- the tag called it a spice cabinet- so I thought a spicy little spanish doll would be appropriate- I think the paint & patina on the cabinet and lock are great for reproductions- the old spanish doll I found in Denise's garage-bird nest I stuffed with spanish moss and stuck on top of an old broken gold meal base. I found the crown at Homegoods- it was atop a glass ball Christmas ornament- so I just broke off the glass ball and rubbed some dark wax over the crown- the chain is an old piece I found in my mom's dad's garage after he passed and I rusted up the cross pendant with iron oxide.</div>

One of this blog's most popular posts has been one where we featured photos of Denise's home- with her and her husband looking to downsize this year- I've already started taking more photos of the house that she transformed into a beautiful home- so check back often - I hope to get 'Sneak Peek into Denise's Home Part 2' posted soon. The Greek Warrior below guards one of the hallways-he's very easy on the eyes if that's not too weird to admit and he was a steal! Back in the good ole days when you could spend a day down in Rosarito Beach, Mex., driving along the old road, pulling over at each roadside shop- filling your van with all sorts of goodies and even having enough time to grab a bite to eat in Puerto Nuevo before heading home with no passports needed and less than an hour border wait to get back across- crazy, fun times.</div>

She was so excited to have it in her collection of treasured things and it was a joy meeting her.</div>

We've recently added more santos figures, furniture & more one of a kind assembled pieces.</div>

Denise and I couldn't be more thrilled with our New Home- AOC (Antiques on Cedros) located in Solana Beach, Ca! We will miss our little window spot at the Rustic Sparrow in Escondido, as well as the owners and many of the creative, talented vendors we are lucky enough to call friends! And as for Knorr Candle Factory & Gift Shop in Del Mar, thanks for letting us be a part of your historic property- we learned a lot. I think narrowing our focus to just one place will benefit our artwork, our time and our clients.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We are loving every minute of our move into AOC- we officially moved in November 1st and are slowly but surely filling our space. The owners and fellow vendors we've met are also super supportive and making the move extremely easy. Cedros is an amazing street of designers, shops, boutiques & galleries. AOC is tucked back a bit near the corner of Lomas Santa Fe & Cedros- the shop features AMAZING antiques, one of a kind pieces from all over the world spanning several centuries. Here are a few (more like 20) pics from our White Horse Relics space:</div>

A while back online I found artists- I believe in Arizona- that paint a lot of pieces with color on just the cabinets and not the drawers- so I had been on the lookout for a piece to try it on and I happend to find this huge old dresser with a beautiful finish on it already- so with some help on the color and paint via friend and artist Carol Rea, I was able to do this in one morning- it's a lot easier when you have less surface to paint!</div>

We're having a Happy & Healthy Summer! Denise has been back in production mode, recently creating new pieces, as well as loving Pinterest, with all of it's networking and fun ideas- I'll take some pics of her newest creations and post soon.<br />
<br />
Just before we took off for our summer vacation back east we left our beautiful window space at Vignette's Antiques on Newport Ave. in Ocean Beach- we really enjoyed our time in Lori's store and the best part was meeting and working with her and her staff, as well as all of the amazing vendors in Vignette's that never cease to amaze us with their creativity and skill in finding really beautiful pieces for the home and garden! So a Huge Thanks to Lori and Vignette's for all of their support!<br />
<br />
These latest photos are some of the pieces we've worked on this Spring & Summer...<br />

This week we are busy adding our pieces into the Knorr Candle Factory and Gift Shop<br />

<u>Old Escondido Clean-Up Day</u></div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
We've loved getting to know the town of Escondido, home of the Rustic Sparrow and many other wonderful shops, restaurants & historic sites. I wanted the girls to experience the importance of helping out in a community so last month our friends and fellow vendors Carol & Doug, graciously allowed the kids and I to ride along and help clean up the beautiful Historic District of Old Escondido. It's an annual event they do each year where they rent large dumpsters for neighbors to come by and throw out any items. It's wonderful because those things that still have a little life left in them are saved and sold in the Old Escondido Rummage Sale. </div>
<div align="center">
It's a great community project and we had tons of fun!</div>

Denise is still working on a new dress form for spring/summer. Vignette's is hosting an event in June to kick off summer, it's a beach themed party so we'll be on the look out for ships & seashells.</div>
