And roses ~

I love flowers , sometimes I really miss working at the flower shop.I love these spray roses I got for my birthday today , they looks so much prettier when there in little old creamers rather than just a vase.Then I can put them all over the house in little places.I picked up the two old hats at the goodwill last night, I just love the shade of cream that they are, they were only 2 bucks, so that made my day!!!We have a new goodwill by my house and I am in heaven!! It's like a treasure hunt for me!!

This came in the mail ,I won this from Fifi's Ohh Laa La contest where my little chair I redid won. This is so pretty and a great addition to my home!Thanks FiFi!!!!

I made this bracelet last night , I have been wanting to make one for awhile and finally did, it has little old rhinestones, old earring pieces,buttons,pearls and a little key .

I am so grateful for all my sweet blogging friends, so I wanted to give one lucky winner a little birthday present from me!Starting with a awesome little bundle of these vintage fabrics, aren't these just so pretty!!!!

And a vintage ledger birthday pocket that says " It's nice to be eating ice cream " which I'll be doing today along with confetti sprinkled cupcakes with princess rings. I have 3 little girls so i thought it would be fun to have a little fun with the cupcakes!

And this print here ,tavern on the green, I think it's called?

And one of these little folders to hold all your little scraps of paper................Made with a copy of one of my favorite sheet music books. It has the sweetest pictures of little girls on it!

And this sweet little frame with a old picture inside and dressed up with old millinery flowers.

And one of my little trees decorated with vintage glass mercury beads!These are lovely!

I am going to have a good day and not sit and think that I am old, yah I am not in my twenties BUT I am not in my 80's either!!! That puts it into perspective a bit!!!!!!!!!!!!

Leave a comment on this post to be entered and the winner will be posted next Monday ! So I am going to wish you all a MERRY CHRISTMAS now! And for an added entry you can post about the giveaway on your blog and come back and post the word BLOG for an added entry!!AND OF COURSE I ALWAYS THROW IN EXTRA GOODIES!!!!

Happy Birthday to me!

No, it's not my birthday yet ,it's on dec 21st and I'll be the big 3-0 oh my gosh did I just tell everyone how old I am going to be!!!! :), but I did get this for my birthday early!


It's Rachel Ashwell's Simply Shabby chic dish set from Target and right now it's on sale! That's why I got it early becasue it sells for 70.00 but right now you can get it for 50 bucks so don't walk to target, RUN!!


They are so pppreeetttyy!!! It's a 16 piece set with plates ,mugs and deep bowls that I love with a scalloped like edge on the bowls and plates too.

The food just looks so much prettier on these, it really does.Pretty like these sweet roses . A new goodwill opened up near my house so I have been there quite a bit as well as trying to finish up the christmas shopping and decorating. We are going to take the kids to see santa on the 19th, hopefully I can get some cute lil pictures of all my little tarlings!
I do like to pick out my gifts because I like things that are functional like the dish set, I had been using all my vintage dishes till now, but I thought if I ever wanted to use my dishwasher now I can with these dishes as I don't think you can put old dishes through the wash ,nor would I want to take that chance.Anyways ,I can't believe it is almost christmas already!!!Where does the time go??

I heart christmas

I love christmas time, it has a special feeling to it , listening to Christmas music, the red cups at starbucks and snow .My sweet friend Jenny from the barn gave me this Merry Christmas and I think it looks so pretty hanging on this very old picture that I just love. I really love how all the colors go together.

And of course the chandelier got the Christmas treatment, I went with blue,pale blue's and silvers. All old ones of course. I don't even own any new ornaments .


And the other chandelier has a few reproduction ornaments with one I made, it is the sheet music one in the back with old tinsel, this pretty hangs in the kitchen window.

And i couldn't help but add something to this Simply Shabby Chic Toile rose wreath that I love with a few of my favorite old Christmas cards and an old little bird. How is your decorating coming along??

Well a little slow on the tree part of it, but I do have the ornaments out, I just have to go get some more white lights before I hang these on my fake white tree. I love my fake white trees because every year when I was little we would go to Grandma's and she always had her fake white tree up with old ornaments and colored lights.

Hopefully next time you'll actually see these ornaments on the tree!!! I love to hear about your home and come by for a blog visit to see if you've posted any pics, let me know!
