I made these vintage trim sets for the new etsy shop...polkadottedworld.
I made a couple different trim sets to inspire 4th of July crafting.
I also have lots of fun flea market and estate sale finds listed, like these sweet, cottage-y souvenier wall hangings.
Just a mish mash of a post before I start a major cleaning day...I have company coming tomorrow. I came across this picture of my youngest daughter, Annie, yesterday when I was uploading pictures. My oldest daughter took it a few days ago, and I couldn't stop laughing when I found it. No, she doesn't always look like that!! She has gotten in the habit of making funny faces because it makes her Grammie laugh. My daughter must have asked her to make one of those faces....this was a great one!!
This is the love of Annie's life....our new doggie, Meg. Friends of ours had to move to Wisconsin, and didn't want to haul three dogs along. I had mentioned that I would love to have Meg if they ever needed a place for her, and my dream came true. She is a joy! She is so smart and loving!
Also, wanted to mention that I am filling up an etsy shop now with fun and pretty things. If you would like, you may take a peek here. I love to share my fabulous finds with you!!
Well...when I started to ponder what to share for Show and Tell today...I couldn't decide! I love all my junk I bring home! I thought about my hutch, but I have shared a lot about that lately. I couldn't decide between these two things...so I declare a tie!!! I'll just share both. Above, is the pot rack I finally found that would work in my kitchen. I had been collecting things and trying to create a vintage red and white kitchen...but I was missing a pot rack to hang all of my enamelware from that was awaiting a purpose inside a kichen cupboard. When I saw this one, made from a piece of iron fencing, I knew it would do the trick. We painted the chain red, hung it up, hung all of the enamelware from it, and topped it off with an old dollhouse I had. Our home, in and of itself, has NO retro appeal...it was built in 1990 and is full of oak. So, this potrack really helped me to be able to have a focal point in the room, and take away from the yucky cupboards.( I really shouldn't complain!!)
Here it is in the fall with some old books, cream pottery, and one of my turkey planters I collect. I love to play and just see what looks cute together in there.
Here it is again at Christmas. I love to make a little scene in there with the choir boys singing outside the lit up church. This is one of my favorite things I look forward to setting up when I take out all of the Christmas boxes.
The man I bought it from told me it is made from old windows and that he built it 25 years ago when he and his wife first married. It had been outside in the elements all of that time gaining charm! I was sure lucky that day!
