Last spring we were in the market for a new camera.We found the camera and for a time I was using a camera backpack to lug it around.Sort of a pain and not very pretty. I had my eye on one from Jeanne Oliver .My timing was off because her new line was not due to hit until last fall.So I carried my camera around in that backpack with my personal items all last summer.In December her new line was released! Hallelujah a new camera bag was part of her new line!Merry Christmas to me!Love receiving products from Jeanne.She always wraps it so beautifully it feels like a gift.And this was a gift to me!Her beautiful photography and artwork!A lovely photo of France. Don't you just LOVE that beautiful rose!You can see this hanging from a re-purposed lamp base that is made into a bag stand is what I ... View Post

Over the weekend I was finishing painting a table set I had planned on adding to my space 417 .I did a mix of Annie Sloan old white and old ochre. I love the richness of this color!I think that mismatched chair adds a bit of whimsy don't you? That fabric was found a while back at a thrift store.I found a whole bolt of it! Sort of a cottage shabby look. The dishes were a fun find too.Very retro from the 60's I think. I am in love with those pink cups! I wish I could keep them but that's the life of a antique junk queen! I am thinking this set won't last long!
