Some Inspiration

I have just been pondering through some different blog spots, finding some inspiration for the antique booth, we really need to doll it up a bit. Along the way I am finding inspiration for the home, its making me want to paint the walls white. Go for a clean new color. Also its making me dream of that Victorian style home that one day I may have!

If you are looking for some inspiration, check out the website called Pinterest, very cool ideas if you are just in a browsing type of mood. 

Love the idea of hanging mason jar's up for a lighting fixture, i saw another one that they used strings of Christmas lights.

My love for vintage plates and glass makes me want to pounce on this very nifty idea, hanging the different styles on the wall in the bedroom would be awesome! 

Another thing that i have noticed lately is that I need some more shelves in my life, even if they are old ugly one's that I can repaint.

 Happy Belated Mothers Day To Everyone! What a busy weekend it was for me, managing to get some stuff knocked out for the wedding, cleaned the house super style for Roberts Birthday party! I also got to see some family that came down from Lake Texomah.

Sunday morning I was laying in bed, it was about 9:00 am and I hear little step's from Robert as he crawled in between us. He gave me a hug, and then had a moment. He ran from the bedroom and came back a few seconds later with two homemade Mothers Day cards. He gave me a hug and a kiss and said "Happy Mothers Day I Love You". What more could a mother ask for?

These are some of the treasures I acquired this weekend from The Colorado Lady. She happened to do a Vintage themed wedding showered, and I was inspired to bring this shower's happenings to the wedding. More to come later. 

Another stash I got from the Colorado Lady, she did a very neat thing with these! 

I also hit up several yard sales and thrift stores, I will have to get the photos uploaded for an awesome post later.

South Dakota things that migrated to North Texas

Fortunately I have an amazing mother, without her I don’t know where I would be. She thinks about me often, and especially thinks about me when she hits up a thrift store. Last year we lost a family member, my mother drove my grandmother, uncle, and aunt from North Texas to South Dakota.

While there, they hit up a few thrift stores, she kept me in mind while hunting for things to add to her vintage hat collection. Here are a few finds she discovered for me! 

 This soap dispenser is just to die for. Probably something out of the 70's or 80's it adds a nice little touch to my kitchen, and makes the soap a little more accessible.

 This is a very nice salt and pepper set, with what I think seems to be another container for creamer.Housed all in a cute little wheelbarrow. My mother said that her grandparents used to have one just like this. Now it sits in the window seal in my kitchen.

 

This is one of the cooler vintage things I own. This also made the trip back down to Texas. So many people just don't understand the integrity that these old appliances had. To think that your modern day blender you have to replace every couple of years, and yet this one is 40 years old. It has its own spot on my counter top and it gets used often! 

This is a really cool cork board that made its way down highway 35. It now hangs on one of my kitchen doors and houses photos that I have picked up over various garage sales of the ladies of the 1950's. I cant stand when people throw out pictures of their past so maybe I can take a moment and treasure these things!
