vintage inspiration friday...

I do not know about you but this week went by way too fast for me ~ I did not get a chance to get everything done that I wanted to!! However, I am glad it is Friday ~ Vintage Inspiration Friday that is hosted by the lovely Debra over at Common Ground. I "met" Debra early in my blog adventure and I am amazed and inspired by her every day (thank you Debra!). Now, as I mentioned before I am starting my Fall "to do" list. My nest needed a good cleaning before I can bring a bit of Autumn indoors. Of course, my good intentions of cleaning the whole house before I did any feathering went by the wayside very quickly. I started a new vignette on the ledge above my new white couch (still love saying that!). While it is not quite ready for a reveal I thought I could share with you the inspiration for it. Remember when I showed you my only cabinet card of my Nana? Well I made a copy of her and put her in this sweet old frame... I want to warm up the room for the fall and am hoping I am off to a good start. I love all the rich colors in her photos. Do you like the paper I put with it... I picked this up at AC Moore yesterday and started thinking this might work out well for the upper part of the walls in my booth makeover! What do you think? I am sure you have all visited Tammy over at Tattered and Timeless. Her new space is the inspiration for my booth makeover (thanks Tammy!). Before I go soak up some inspiration over at Common Ground, I just wanted to say thanks for all the sweet comments on my Cinderella moment post the other day. Jim did not bring home all my "stuff" to get started but there is always next week! Enjoy your weekend and thank you for visiting!!!

cinderella moment...

Summer vacation officially ended Monday ~ my son started his junior year in high school yesterday. The princess has been back at college for a week and is having fun feathering her senior year nest. Looking around my nest I see that I need to do a good fall cleaning before I feather it with some fall treasures and then get cracking on my "to do" list. First things first though, I spent yesterday morning cleaning the princess suite here at home before I was off to the shop in the afternoon. The weekend sale was a huge success and while I was tidying up my little corner my husband Jim came in to measure the walls of my booth ~ and fishing season isn't even over yet!! I guess all my whin...er...sweet talk must have worked!! So I am hoping he comes home today with all the "stuff" I need to get started. I can not tell you how happy that made me ~ isn't it the little things that matter the most?!







Another good thing from his visit is that I borrowed his camera since I forgot mine. I wanted to see what I could share for White Wednesday over at Faded Charm. I spied this sweet little vignette... I think I had a Cinderella moment yesterday when my Prince Charming came in the shop! Even though he did not ride up on a white horse, (he does have a white van), or pull out a glass slipper, (just a measuring tape), he did make me smile!! We can still live happily ever after! Thank you Jim!! Happy wife ~ happy life... Have a wonderful day and thank you for stopping by!!
