Crochet/Rhinestone Pillow

Hi All...I just wanted to share this wonderful idea for making
pillows! I love to tea-stain pillows, old lace and crochet. So
when I got these two standard vintage shams already tea-
stained from my friend Sue (www.junkinlady.blogspot.com)
I knew exactly how I wanted to embellish them! I just added
a vintage crocheted dresser scarf, some old trim with a vintage
rhinestone pin and millinery flower!
I am working on more pillows..some still in the making! Just wait
until you see these other two I will be posting soon..so pretty! Let me
know what you think...because I am thinking of making more, and
opening an Etsy shop! Stay tuned..For Now I hope you all have a
wonderful weekend!!

Lovin' The Monochromatic Look!

The Junking This Week has Been Awesome!
I Just Love This Antique Victorian Photo Album!
All It Needed Was A Little Embellishing With An Old
Black & White Photo, Old Lace, Rosary, and Some
Rhinestones...Just Look At The Detail...Lovely!
Always Make Room For The Things That You
Love The Most...Weed Out The Things That
You Can Sell....To Buy More, And To Pass Along
The Extra Things for Others To Cherish! I Had To Move Some
Treasures From This Display, and It Was Worth it!

Here Is Something That I Have Been Working On...
Just The Other Day I Had Posted This Display. It Was Okay,
But It Needed More White, More Of A Monochromatic Look
Well, I Am Just Loving This Little Vignette Now! I Took The Pink
Flowers Out Of My Vintage Wire Planters...Added Vintage Glass
Prisms & Old Sheet Music...Now It Is Perfect! Don't You Love It?
Love This Old Antique White Door Header...Just Added My
Old Nozzle Collection! Everything is Coming Together Nicely!
The Photo Below Is The Before Picture Of My Wire Planters...
For The Past 5 Years I Believe I was Going A Little Overboard
With A Lot Of Pink! Hence The Name "Pink Obsession"!! I am
Now Loving The Monochromatic Look!! Maybe A New Name
Is In Order?? Until Next Time...Have A Fabulous Day!!

Ironstone Display & Rose Oil Painting

Two Mantel Re-do's this weekend! Love the old roses print
found on my Texas road trip for a mere 8.00! The Super
large antique oil painting over the bed was a steal this weekend for only
$7.00...Of course it was a lot of work though to make her shine
again. She looked as if she had been stored away for many years!
Isn't it gorgeous! I just love it!
Shades of white...wicker, statues, old crochet, just some of my favorites!
Another mantel re-do...Since I have been running out of room in my
dining room for my collection of ironstone...I had to resort to bringing
some into the living room! I'm loving all the white, monochromatic
color scheme...so serene..so inviting! Hope you have enjoyed your visit!
Until next time...have a wonderful day!!

Happy Pink Saturday!!

I hope you are all having a wonderful day! The weather here
in Georgia is warming up nicely! Time to enjoy the great flea
flea markets, yard sales, estate sales, auctions, whatever suits
your fancy! I thought I would share some pictures for "Pink
Saturday" (Remember, You can click on the pics to enlarge)
Pictured above is an awesome painted sign that
I bought from Jennifer of "The old painted cottage."

Shades of white...chippy white flower basket,
architectural corbels, and white McCoy vases
fill my favorite cabinet for a charming display
sure to please any shabby collector's eye!

Pink chalk ware bridesmaids, vintage pink McCoy vases,
with antique plates that I have collected for years!
Shabby eye candy, for sure! I never tire of vintage pink!!

Displayed with pretty bark cloth panels in the background
Is one of my vintage pink phones resting on a chippy pink
table that has the best patina!
Have you ever seen planters such as these? Hubby surprised
me one day, and brought these to me! Aren't they wonderful?
Hope you all have a wonderful....Happy Pink Saturday!!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas, and Santa brought
everything that you wished for! My favorite of all my presents
is my new Nikon camera! Love it! So now I can post better pics
than before! It takes wonderful close-up shots! So here are some
pics for White Wednesday I hope you enjoy!
Recently found old white chippy statue..
Love the patina on this one!
Never enough vintage crocheted tablecloths...all
shades of white and wonderful detailed edges
on each one! I love the way they look just
layered in my favorite market cart!
You think you have seen this picture before,
but look closely..you will spot my favorite
birthday present! At the Scott's antique show,
hubby bought for me these two wonderful glass-
beaded light bulb covers! I have wanted some
of these, but were always too expensive on eBay.
Just before Christmas, I found this wonderful vintage
crocheted tablecloth for next to nothing at an estate sale!
Just experiencing with photo taking and love the antique
black & white look! Don't you? Well, only one more day left in this year!
Out with the old, and in with the new! I sure hope 2010
will be an awesome year for us all.....Happy New Year!!
