I have seen reproduction pieces like this before but I have never come across an authentic vintage metal stool with a number on the seat like this one. Yes I have stenciled stools with numbers,but to see one that is authentic is a rare find. No need to fluff this photo with roses,because this makes a statement all on it's own. The patina is perfection as is the color. This was found at an estate sale,which I rarely go to. But I spotted the sale as I was on my way chiropractor. That's usually the only time I stop at an estate sale,they are normally expensive and you usually have to take a number before entering. This was a house with a barn,and I was able to walk on in. I bet you noticed my door I am using as a back drop,yes that is my barn door. And this may come as a surprise ... View Post

As you know I am getting ready for the White Lace Cottage sale. It has been fun pulling out pieces,I kind of forgot about some of the things I have. Yes that's how it is when you are in this business of selling vintage treasures. You are constantly shopping and buying pieces. And not all of my finds have a shabby chic look,I also love farmhouse and industrial pieces too. Remember I  am pretty eclectic with my style. Love this antique wicker basket that has that French look. The patina on this piece is amazing,and I must admit it is hard to part with some of the pieces I find. But that is the nature of this business,part of the fun is the hunt. I never know what I am going to find while out treasure hunting. Love coming across these vintage seltzer bottles and I have my own ... View Post

Sometimes I surprise myself with pieces that catch my eye,like this Gluggle jug. Interesting name isn't it? This is nothing new,I actually have had my eye on this for many years. And just recently I decided I needed to bring one home. I think the color is something I fell for too. It's definitely a conversation piece. This Gluggle jug is from England. It gets is name from the sound it makes when you pour the water into a glass it makes a glug,glug sound. I will be using this mostly for our lemon water. Yes I still enjoy my large mason jar,but it can be a pain filling it up. This is much smaller and easier to fill and clean. Besides using this for lemon water,I think this would be great for Margaritas! Someone on instagram mentioned filling it with wine and using it as a ... View Post

I love Angel wings,I am not sure what it is that attracts me to them. Maybe it's the pure white color,and the soft wings,and the bit of pure romance. I found a lovely set a few years ago at a garage sale,they were very nice but a bit small. Then I won a set on Decor Steals. It's one of my favorite treasures in my family room,but I still adore the soft look of a feathered pair of angel wings. As you can see this is an older photo,I don't have that chandelier any longer. As I was out enjoying a girls day out up at the lake I spotted a pair of Angel wings. They were perfect just the size I had been looking for ! And yes as soon as I spotted them I knew just where I was going to put them. On my chippy garden gate I have hanging on my dining room wall! I previously had a pink oval ... View Post

Yes I enjoy my bling especially when it comes to chandeliers,then I spotted this antique French chandelier and it was love at first sight. There is something about a little glitz and glamor that I have always been attracted too. Even as a child I loved shiny nail polish or lip gloss,that little bit of sparkle always caught my eye. Several months ago I added chandeliers to my kitchen. And no I don't ever think you can have enough bling in your home. After adding these to my kitchen my dining room really looked out of place. Well not my dining room but the chandelier hanging in my dining room. It was not original to our house,but it was what I could afford at the time. This photo was taken a few months ago. It was pretty but very simple. Then I spotted it,a gorgeous antique ... View Post
