happy june...

Remember the wonderful old tin piece that I found when I went treasure hunting with my girlfriends...

I sold the fruit picker and the bed! 

It never made it to the shop ~ I put it in the den...

I put my cute little book bundle on the shelf with it...

I think a tattered bundle or two might look good on the other end.

I love it...

I am joining these lovely ladies today...

Debra's Vintage Inspiration Friday

and 

Courtney's Feathered Nest Friday

Thank you ladies!

It looks like a rainy Saturday this weekend.

What is a camper to do in the rain ~ go shopping of course!

I need to start shopping for Jake's graduation party next weekend as well as hitting the antique shops downtown.

I am hoping to find some new treasures to fluff my booth with for the new month.

Happy June!

I have a busy week ahead with Jake's senior prom, senior banquet night and he graduates next Friday with a party to follow on Saturday.

Between all that and booth fluffing, I don't know how much blogging I will be doing.

At least I might be too busy to get too teary eyed.

Ya, right.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend!

before or after...

I am popping in this morning to share another new vignette that is the result of my spring cleaning.

This dry sink greets you at the top of the stairs when you come in my home...

Before

But you might remember last week that I was inspired to put this mirror over my mantel.

After

Can you see that a few of the panes of glass in the window are slightly tinted a blue green?

It compliments the eggs under the cloche...

I love this old mirror.

It was the beginning of my collection...

To be honest ~ I love the simpler before look but this is a nice change for a while...

I guess I will have to find another wonderful old mirror to put back there!

Vintage mirror shopping is one of my favorite things to do!

Which look do you like ~ before or after?

I am joining Kathleen for White Wednesday.

I think I will go peek at some inspiration before I go with Jake to get him fitted for his tux for senior prom next week.

You know I will be bringing tissues.

Thanks for stopping by!

memories...

Always in my heart...

As we approach another milestone in my family, I wish my parents and my mother in law were here to see Jake graduate.
I know they are so proud!
While we will be celebrating Memorial Day this weekend and kicking off another summer, I will be holding my happy memories a little tighter.
Wishing you all a wonderful holiday weekend!

inspired...

In the middle of spring cleaning my nest, I started playing around and made some new vignettes here and there.

I started with my mantel.

Here is what it has looked like for a few years...

I am not kidding when I say a few years (this photo is from 2010!).

When the seasons changed and for holidays I would add a few treasures, but the mirror and the vignettes on each side stayed the same.

I was inspired by the zinc pots I picked up in Brimfield, as well as all the beauty I see in the Jeanne d'Arc Living magazines.

This is what I put together...

I love the vignette on the left...

I love the mirror in the middle...

I love the vignette on the right...

I love it all!!

Besides the zinc pots and the container (from Decor Steals) holding my last bloom from Mother's Day (which should dry perfectly), I used pieces I already had!

I have more new vignettes to show you (and I have some empty spaces too) but I will save those for another post.

I am sharing with Kathleen for White Wednesday, where I am always inspired!

Thank you for stopping by!
