Online BOOK SHOPPE!!

YEP--That's right!! I have opened my very own online BOOK SHOPPE called Busy Beaver Press!! I couldn't be more proud and humble at the same time (is that possible?)

The Little Stream makes it's debut at BusyBeaverPress.etsy.com. (click on book image).


If you have read The Little Stream you have probably fallen in LOVE with the Wise Old Beaver (I know I couldn't help it either!).


If the Wise Old Beaver were to make his own pencils, what would they be like?


Find out at BusyBeaverPress.etsy.com!!

The LITTLE STREAM

My 3 year old grandson Gavin, was intently absorbed in The Little Stream and I just couldn't resit this photo op. Is he CUTE or what?!?!?
The LITTLE STREAM goes PUBLIC!!

Entry Way-AFTER (finally)!!

My dad (G'Pa Rowley) is the great craftsman behind this adventure! The beaded board is not paneling! It is 8 foot long pieces by 2 boards wide! He pains-takingly fit each piece until we had the MASTERPIECE you see here! I found these GREAT Audutorium Chairs about a year ago for a song in a Prescott Thrift Shop. I had NO IDEA what I was going to do with them at the time, but I LOVE the HARMONY they make now!!





I think the Star Fish in a vintage wicker baset is my favorite accessory!

I have had this ANTIQUE "Hall Tree" for 25+ years! In the Antiques World it is a NO-NO to paint beautiful wood, but i was ready for a REAL change, and I'm not a bit sorry!





I was on a very TIGHT BUDGET and needed to put it into the beaded board and paint. We were at Home Depot and found just the right price for these light fixtures ($30), but the color was ALL WRONG. They were a murky dark copper color, but I LOVED the style!! What'a girl to do! YEP--Spray paint!!!!
