Shabby Chic dvd




I just had to talk about Rachel Ashwell's shabby chic dvd, shabby chic treasures!! This is such a great dvd!! She does an amazing job decorating a home for her parents. I so wish I could hire her for the day to decorate my home. I recommend going out and getting this! I got it when she was still selling on her website, so not sure where this will be available. Maybe amazon or ebay. Just worth it!! I'm sure alot of you already got it, but her new book is also a must have. I will in the morning before my boy's are up, and with a cup of coffee just devour her book. It is my favorite!!

A Little Girls Dresser




I got this at a garage sale, and I was thinking for my dining room. But it was after I bought it, the lady told me it was her daughter's dresser. So my question is does this look like a dresser? Does this work as a hutch for my dining room? I am anxiously waiting for the garage sale season to start so I can find some new goodies to paint. I did however found it painted white. That was a plus. So please let me know what you think.

Amazing Photography




I was browsing etsy, not planning on buying anything until i came across these prints. They are done by Vintage Chic Images, and the photographers name is Sylvia Cook. She has so many amazing prints to pick from, I would have ordered all of them!! But I ordered two of them and I am showing these picture's today. I hope you get the chance to stop by!!! I bet you can't order just one!

New Find's







I went antique shopping today, went to the Blu Daisy in Clinton,NJ they have such a variety to pick from, and they always have new thing's every time i go. Today i just got some antique forks, couldn't beat the 50 cents price tag!! Then some ironstone plates and the mirror in the background. They also have such a way of setting their displays you just want to buy everything!! I am sure that happens to alot of people!!
