I'm working every day on restoring and refurbishing some of the great pieces I have. Here are a couple I finished this weekend, many more are coming! I am starting two businesses also. One is Resurrections, which is all about bringing new life to cast-offs and bygone ways, the other is Inspired By You Events, which is a wedding and party rental and custom supply business. My wonderful, creative husband has been a graphic designer  and illustrator for 36 years and can create amazing, original art for your events. With the help of my talented niece, Dawn, and my three talented daughters, we can find, repurpose, build and create everything you need to make your event unique. All of my pieces I have listed for sale can also be rented. If you are interested in any of my items you can contact me at Bseaingu2@aol.com. Have a wonderful Wednesday!
