French Vintage Friday – vintage tureen
Happy Friday, friends! I hope your week was wonderful! Today, for French Vintage Friday, I’m sharing something that I’ve had for a few years, it was actually one of my first vintage treasures, this lovely Johnson Brothers tureen. I added some fresh flowers to it, for a little added happiness inside my ironstone cabinet. I used “wet” flower foam for the floral arrangement. It was actually the first time that I’ve ever used flower foam, and I LOVED it!! I highly recommend using it! Flower foam comes in “wet” and “dry”. “Wet” is for fresh flowers, “dry” is for faux flowers. It holds the stems perfectly! It was a must…

Flowers, teacups, gold lanterns, and the sweetest little bunny taper holder. Isn’t that little bunny taper…

French Vintage Friday – old skeleton keys
Happy Friday, friends!! I’m so excited for the weekend! I’m finally going to start building a pergola in my backyard. I’ve had the lumber sitting in my garage for a while now, and have decided that it is time to get it done! Yay! I can’t wait to show y’all how it turns out…hopefully it turns out good, but I’ll show you either way. Today, for French Vintage Friday, I’m sharing something that I have always found to be so intriguing, antique skeleton keys. A couple years ago, my grandpa passed away and left an amazing antique trunk to my mom. The skeleton key was missing, so she called a…

A bucket full of seasonal flowers
Hi friends!! How are you all? The past few months have been a real struggle for me, and I’m sure it has been hard for so many of you too. Recently I decided to push myself to add a little extra happiness into my everyday living, whether it be lighting a favorite candle, working in my yard, running through the sprinklers with my littles, going on a bike ride, arranging flowers, etc. Taking the time to find a little extra happiness to intentionally bring into my day has been so beneficial to my soul. This bucket of viburnum snowballs, fresh from my garden, brings me so much happiness, and brings…

Love, Peace & Peonies
Happy June 1st, my friends! It seems so unreal that it is already June. I’m sure that most all of you have seen what is going on in the world around us lately, either in person or on the news. I have had so many thoughts and feelings swirling around in my head about it all, and am at a loss for words, so I thought I’d share a quote that is so powerful to me. “The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral, begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy. Instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies it. Through violence you may murder the liar,…

French Vintage Friday ~ chippy antique bench
Happy Friday, friends!! Today, for French Vintage Friday, I’m sharing this darling, chippy bench back. I adore the chippy paint!!! My sister had an antique bench in her back yard that she was going to get rid of. As we looked at it, we had an idea…she would take the seat part of the bench and use it as a coffee table in her living room, and I would take the back. I had the perfect place in mind! I’m completely loving it!!! I have wanted to put something there for awhile now, but didn’t know exactly what, until now. It’s always exciting to think outside of the box, and…

The art of flowers
Happy Thursday, friends!!! I’m so excited because today’s post is all about flowers! I absolutely adore fresh flowers, and love to have them around my house always and always! Today, I’m going to show you two arrangements that I made. Both are completely my style, and yet they are so very different from each other. First, a vintage basket full of one single type of bloom, Viburnum, also known as snowballs, fresh from my garden. I love arranging fresh blooms in containers that aren’t necessarily made for flower arranging, such as baskets, buckets, boxes, crates, etc. Gather your fresh blooms, a container, and some sort of vase/container that can hold…

Using vintage books in your everyday decor
Hi friends!!! I’m so excited to be joining some very talented ladies today for a fun blog hop, all about vintage books, hosted by the very sweet Cindy from County Road 407. When decorating, there are two things that I almost always add to a space, fresh flowers/greenery and vintage books. Those are my go-to staples of decor. I absolutely adore old books! Their charm and character gives me all the feels! I was planning on sharing a few different areas in my home, in which I have used vintage books to decorate. Then yesterday, on a whim, I decided to clean and refresh my living room. And, turns out,…
