Thrifted Treasure ~ January
Happy Monday, friends!! I’m so excited to start this week off with the monthly thrift store challenge! Be sure to check out the other girls that are participating this month, their links are at the end of this post. My finds… And… A set of two vintage sconces for just 4.99!! I was so excited! And these sweet little heart doilies are so charming! For the sconces, I knew that I wanted to hang them on the wall in the upstairs hallway. I first needed to figure out how to mount them on the wall without making huge holes that I’d have to patch later, if I decided to move…

Love is in the air ~ Valentine’s Day Decor
Happy Thursday, friends!! Today, I, along with Tara, are sharing a few ideas on how to add simple Valentine’s Day decor to you home. It’s easy to get carried away with all the reds and pinks around this time of year, but for me, I’m trying to keep it simple and neutral this year. Don’t get me wrong, I love red and pink for Valentine’s Day decor, I just don’t want use too much of it. I started in the kitchen… These shelves are always one of my favorite places to add a few festive touches. I kept it simple with a few vintage heart shaped cookie cutters, this metal…

There is a list of links at the end of the post, so you can check out how everyone else is decorating for winter too. Today, I’m sharing how I have decorated my little living room for winter.

Speaking of my mantel/faux fireplace, I’m super excited to be featured in the current issue of The…

French vintage Friday ~ vintage Valentine’s Day cards
Happy Friday, friends!!! It’s been such a busy two weeks, having my boys out of school for the holidays, and now with our new puppy! It’s been so much fun, but a little chaotic at times. Puppy training is no joke, it takes a lot of time and a lot of patience. I haven’t gotten much done around my house lately, my Christmas decor is still mostly up, which is fine, because I’ve enjoyed every moment with my sweet boys and our new puppy. Today, I’m sharing something that I love to collect, vintage cards. They are such a sweet way to add a little extra something to a shelves,…

A Look Back at 2019
Happy New Years, friends!! Can you believe it’s 2020!! I am so excited for a fresh new year, with lots of fun and exciting projects ahead! Today, I’m so excited to take a look back at 2019. It was such a fun year, full of learning and growing. 2019 was my first full year of blogging. It was a lot of fun and so much work! Blogging keeps me super busy, and pushes me to finish more projects than I would, if I weren’t blogging. It keeps my creative side alive. And, of course, I get to connect with so many like minded souls, which I love! Let’s take a…

French vintage Friday ~ alabaster lamps
Happy Friday, y’all! It’s the last weekend before Christmas! Can you believe it!! So much to do, and so little time! Every year, I promise myself to be more organized, and every year I’m not! Maybe next year! Today, for French vintage Friday, I’m sharing my love for alabaster lamps! I have loved them since the day I laid eyes on one at an antique mall, while on vacation. Their classic, vintage beauty has my heart! This beauty, that my husband found for me, on the marketplace, is one of my absolute favorites!! And, of course, I have a pair of alabaster lamps in my bedroom too. Now, let’s hop…

Cozy Christmas bedroom
Happy Thursday, friends! Tomorrow, December 20th, my husband and I are celebrating our seventeenth wedding anniversary!! I can’t believe we’ve been married for seventeen years! I was just a baby when we got married, not even old enough to legally drink! It’s been the best years of my life! I usually don’t find the time to decorate the master bedroom for the holidays, but this year I did. I added just a few simple Christmas touches… Fresh flowers are always a must! The fresh garland hasn’t started to shed yet, but it probably will very soon! I know faux garland wouldn’t dry out, wouldn’t shed, etc, I can’t help but…

French Vintage Friday ~ vintage advertisements
Happy Friday, friends!! It’s crazy how close Christmas is! Because Thanksgiving was so late this year, it has been quite a challenge to get everything ready in time for Christmas. It feels like there’s just not enough time. Next year, I’m starting earlier…I say that every year though. Hopefully next year it really happens! Today, for French Vintage Friday, I am sharing one of my most beloved treasures…. This antique French advertisement is one of my favorite treasures ever! Two winters ago, just a couple days after Christmas, my grandpa passed away unexpectedly. We immediately flew back to be with family and to attend his funeral. While back there, we…

Gilded and Glittered – A Christmas tablescape
Happy Thursday!! I hope you’re having a wonderful week! It’s supposed to rain/snow this afternoon, so while it is dark and gloomy outside, I decided to put a little tablescape together. It all started when my little guy wanted to get some mixed nuts for his nutcracker. After breaking just a few nuts, he decided that he no longer wanted the nuts. I decided that I was going to use them for something that I saw in a Martha Stewart book. Here’s my inspiration picture, from an older Martha Stewart Christmas book…. I just love it! Such an easy way to add a little glitz and glamour to a tablescape.…
