Just Some Thoughts...

Just some thoughts....

I love how the vintage motel chairs look in the snow.  There are 9 right now in my backyard. The lonely blue one can't hold a person anymore but it sure looks great as garden art! I have to trudge through the snow to get a picture of it later.


Here's my chippy green ones.


Last night's snow with another set of chairs.


Last week's snow with my favorite chairs. These are the ones that I use for my main blog picture.
Both were side of the road/garbage finds.  Can you imagine anyone throwing these away?

I went to an estate sale on Friday.  Finally. It was so exciting and such a great sale. Here are a few of my finds. I especially love the vintage cloth mannequin heads.


It's always a good sale when I find a scale.

I am keeping my Valentine's decorating to a minimum. This is perfect.


The roses are a nice dusty pink. (from Aldi) Now they are on my kitchen table where we can enjoy them with every meal.

I do want to show you a picture of my space at the Carriage House. I rearranged it completely for the new year and thought that this sequin jacket with a t'shirt look terrific together. I used to wear the jacket and loved it but I decided to let it go.




The Carriage House will be participating again this year with the Vintage Shop Hop along with about 400 shops in Illinois and Wisconsin. It's always so much fun with so many treasures.

Happy treasure hunting!
