Ocean Springs Art & Antiques Market

I will be selling my products at the Ocean Springs Art & Antiques Market in downtown Ocean Springs, MS this Saturday April 27th from 10am-3pm.  If you are in the area and have a minute, I'd love for you to stop by!  Here is a sneak peek of a few items that will be on display and available to buy or previous creations for other customers!  Please keep in mind, I can almost always custom make pieces as well, whether it be a planter, idea for an antique window, furniture or redo an old outdated piece of furniture you own!

Hit me up on Facebook if you have any questions regarding the products!  www.facebook.com/handmadechicart

A little about me!

This is my first attempt at a blog...so I truly have no idea what I'm doing, but I'm not completely incompetent when it comes to the computer, so I'm hoping that this does work!

First, to tell you a little about myself.  My name is Ashley, I have an almost 3 year old daughter, Addison, who I stay home with and I am married to her amazing father, provider and my biggest fan, Steven!  After becoming a Stay at Home Mama, I started an Etsy account.  BIG MISTAKE!  I saw all these amazing products that I could make!  I wanted to help contribute financially, but have/had no intention of getting a "real job".  My job is to be a wife and mother!  So I started showing Steven some of the goodies.  He was on board with me doing some arts/crafts stuff.  He wanted to start doing some wood working on the side (his dad is a professional wood worker by trade) and so we decided to start making projects together!

So here we are!  We set up booths at local arts and craft festivals and continue building and making products that we enjoy!

You will also likely see posts about Paleo recipes, CrossFit, and my gardening experiences!

I am looking forward to creating a place for you all to see my projects, past, present and future!
