another keeper...

Remember this old mirror I found in May when I went to Brimfield...

I knew it would eventually get a dreamy coat of white.  Look at the wonderful detail... 

It finally got a few coats of white.

It was destined for my booth.

It looks great in my Paris Hotel Suite...

Now I love the one that was there...

And it's reflections...

I just think the mantel mirror fits the space better...

Same pretty reflections...

Oh and don't you think the details look even more beautiful in white...

The more photos I take the more I love it there...

I have a new project on the idea board in my head and the old mirror would be perfect for it.

I guess the new mirror is another keeper.

First the silver tray chalkboard.

Now the mantel mirror.

Boy am I in trouble!

Linking up with Kathleen at Faded Charm for White Wednesday!

Happy 17th Birthday Jake!

Jake and Erika

Have a great day ~ love you!

Thank you for stopping by today!

 I spent a lazy summer day today by the lake at the campground...



It was such a beautiful day I hated to come home...

I am joining in on the week long Blockg Party this week that Debra's Vintage Inspiration Friday over at Common Ground is part of today...

I have never seen so many party animals this week!!

I would like to say welcome and thank you to my new followers!

Thank you all for visiting today and have a wonderful weekend!!

happy belated anniversary...

Twenty six years ago yesterday, my Dad walked me down the aisle...

Then I walked back with my new husband...

These candid shots are some of my favorite from that day...

Here is a peek inside the album...

I wanted to share this post for White Wednesday but blogger would not allow me to upload any photos yesterday...

So, Happy Belated Anniversary Jim...

We should have went back to Aruba!!

I think I will still link up over at Faded Charm ~ better late than never!

Thank you for stopping by!

no more second thoughts and sticking to the rule...

So when I was having second thoughts the other day about keeping this silver tray chalkboard...

It's a keeper!

And having Jim remind me of the one thing in, two things out rule, I listed a few extra treasures in my Etsy shop like this lovely trinket tray...

As well as a few sweet vintage books...

Don't forget that I am having a sale in my Etsy shop through the end of the month which I blogged about here.

Today I am visiting the ladies over at Capers of the Vintage Vixens and joining in on their Blogger's Bodega.

Lots of great shopping over there!

(Remember the rule Sandi.)

Have a wonderful day!

second thoughts...

I have been busy this week working on some new items for my booth...

Yesterday I finished up the the final coat of paint on a few items and started tagging them...

As I looked at this old beauty and admired it's gorgeous detail...

I realized I now have second thoughts on selling it...

Jim has been reminding me lately of the old rule ~ "one treasure in two treasures out" ~ of course you know I had to do a bit of creative writing on his reminder.

I am joining Debra for Vintage Inspiration Friday today.

Looking out my window this morning...

Seeing Jake head out to school...

And get in his very first car...

I'm so proud of you Jake!  Drive carefully please...

On second thought...didn't I just teach him how to ride a bike?

Have a wonderful weekend and thank you for stopping by!!
