Happy Easter...and...

 

Die Son!!

What does this:

 

 

This:

 

And this mean?

 

My sister got a 20 dollar thrifted Dyson today!

Newly cleaned and airing out!

Who doesn't love a 400.00 vacuum cheap??

 

Happy Spring Cleaning!

Weigh in!

 

 

I love a vintage alarm clock!

I love any vintage furniture!

A vintage scale..swoony!

 

I bought this darling little "Postal Scale"

at DI yesterday!! I spray painted it a darling blue

color and then lovingly placed some tiny daffodils

on it. OOO I love it!!

Isn't vintage cute!

FYI They still use a tiny scale like this at my post office!

 

 

See theses tiny daffies? They always remind me of my sister

She had these lovelies at her wedding!

 

Every time I see them I think of her.

 

Happy Anniversary sweet sister!!

 



 

Weigh in...what vintage thing do you love?

 

 



In a book bind!!

I love a good Pottery Barn Book!

I always buy them when I see them.

If we could all live in a Pottery Barn world!

 

The book below is one I have brought to work the last few weeks

to read or look at when I have a little down time.

Sadly the cover fell clean off!

It made me so sad. Granted the book cost four dollars, but

I still loved it. I looked online about book repair!

Man it is costly. All the acid free stuff was 3 times the cost of the

book. Sadly I wasn't on board. I thought and thought what I could do

and it dawned on me that linen book tape

looks a lot like First Aid Tape!

 

 

I high tailed it to Walmart and found some "athletic tape"

for $ 1.24 and saved my "this week" favorite book!

 

 

Sadly the tape isn't acid free and so it will not

last forever...but I think it will last as long as the book is in style!

 

***Do not use on heirloom or vintage items!!***

 

Happy Thrifting!

Good Things!

 

 

 

 

Nothing makes me as happy as

 seeing good things

happen to good people!!

Congrats Risa!




Emm!

The other day I happened on this little number (below)

at an estate sale. I was so cheap I couldn't help but buy it and

peek under it's ugly shell! It was an aqua dream!

 

 

I left the top "as is" but painted and "m" in honor of my

cousin's new last name! Getting married in April!

 

 

I painted the legs a very similar color! 

 

 

Shabbied things up a bit and added a bow or two.

I also added a vintage looking glass M.

(I got a ton of letters at Kohles and think they are DARLING!)

 

 

I love this picture...I love a shadow..proof of the sun!

 



 

It is always hard to give a unique gift or one from the heart!

If it is unloved rejection is hard!

Wishing someone congratulation on the first "step" of their

new adventure...totally worth it!

 

 

 

*I got lost so many times today it was Laughable! I called my dad

to ask for a way out and he said "look for a cemetery (my auntie lives near one)

I said dad " I don't know if I am even in the right county!!"

Good thing my sister drove alone!

*It snowed!

*Thrift stores are no longer (thrifty)...it's lame!

*I don't do retail well! I went to World Market to buy something

fun w/ a gift card. Loved everything but not

enough to buy it so left w/ my gift card in hand

and will be checking in online. Mad House!

*I love a book on tape.

*I have weird dreams!

*Last night I opened a brand new tube of SUPER

glue and the whole thing exploded on my hands

I had only moments to think....and I thought wrong!

*Fashion forward or totally insane? It's a fine line!

 

Happy Spring!

 

 



Daffy Dills!

 

 

While in the UK I noticed lots of people

buying green onions but I had yet to see one used in

and kind of meal. After awhile I found out

the green onions people were buying were daffodils!

When they are closed and in a bunch they look just like green onions.

I saw a bunch of green onions labeled as daffodils the other day

they made me smile so I brought them home!

Sure enough the next morning they were happy little flowers!

 

 

PINK!

*Today it rained and SNOWED!

*I love a good thrift shop and estate sale.

*The best conversation I have  is w/ a tiny man

who doesn't talk yet! I love you Theodore!

*I have a head ache!

*I love a good nap!

*It thundered so loud the other day it shook the house!

*Suggesting something and then letting

a person decide is hard but it is necessary!

One can never MAKE another

do anything and still be respected!

*My throat hurts often!

*My favorite friend Eli is getting bigger by the day!

* I like to give unique gifts and always HOPE

 they are received well!!

*I saw some of this tonight and LOVED it!
It's Dowton Abby meets Anne of Green Gables!

Everything is better in British!! Heart!

 

Happy Spring!!

 



Happy!
