Room Re-Do...A long time coming

Vintage style decor cannot be hurried. You cannot run out and "buy" in a day, a look that has to be "found." These are my excuses-I started taking my decor back to my original love: Shades of creamy white, many months ago. Here are some photos of my progress...
A little fall....
Still looking for the perfect coffee and end tables. Oh, and a "vintage" roses area rug. Very faded looking. The lamp shade on the left? Gotta go. Hmmm. Haven't found the right chairs for the kitchen table.
Lamp shade....Don't know how to turn the flash off my camera. Can't find the instruction book. No surprise considering my "studio." One day I will give you a good laugh and show you my garage. I envy all the beautiful, organized spaces I see out here in blog land...
P.S. I stopped at the ultimate estate sale last weekend. I got a TRUCKLOAD of stuff for the most incredible price. Sue, if you are reading this....You know the blue cabinet you saw last Saturday? I scored one like it- tell you how much later. And my husband thought I was going grocery shopping. That was my intention-you should have heard him when I called a hour and a half later and asked him to bring his truck. Sometime the best sales are the ones you didn't plan on going to. You can find some of my fabulous finds at the upcoming Christmas Emporium Sale and at Uncovered Ruby.

To excited to wait...

He doesn't know what Halloween is, but he loves his little dragon costume! My GRANDbaby Emori has been entertaining us bouncing around singing "Dragon Tales."
(grandma's bragging rights....)

When life hands you lemons, Eat Chocolate...

Life has been tough lately...Kind of like a bad movie. Keeping (or finding...) a sense of humor in spite of it all is the key to survival. I found this pillow at Cracker Barrel a couple of years ago~Then it was just a whimsical quote...today it is more personal.

What a day it was....

Mostly sunny skies, friends and fun! Here are a few pictures from my booth at the flea market. I forgot my camera so these are via cell phone.
It's a bird, It's a plane......It's a fish tank!
A little this....
My adorable nephew Blake....
a little that....
