Springtime On My Mind

Flowers...hmmm. Can you tell I've got Spring on the brain?

Bought a large lot of ironstone and white china pieces for various projects. Nestled in the box were these sweet demitasse cups and saucers.
A foam sphere, some flowers and they were all set. The pitcher was a recent Goodwill find.
A little pink has me dreaming and wishing for Spring. Sadly, out the window there is only white...

In the meantime keep visiting. I'm putting together a giveaway to celebrate my upcoming 100th post!

An Auction Re-Do

Last week I picked up this sweet little vintage ceramic, made in Japan dog at an auction.

He was $1 and his bucket was empty. When we picked him up my daughter (who is all of 5) was very concerned that the handle was missing. Not to worry. I promised her I already had a plan.
A little foam ball, a few flowers and he's ready for a new home.

CSN Stores - Get Your Modern On!

Ooh, ah! That's the response this Saarinen table always evokes for me.

When the fine folks at CSN stores contacted me to do a product review I was beyond thrilled. My mind immediately began racing at all the modern furniture
like the above I might choose. Visions of Knoll and Miller danced in my head but then Ms. Practicality reared her ugly head and I was reminded of the many things at the 200+ CSN stores which I really do need. So while my beloved Saarinen will have to wait check back soon for my practical product review. In the meantime head over to CSN and drool with me!

Good Morning Monday

Well hello there Mr. Monday! I've got no problem greeting you when I have this on my plate. I LOVE IKEA! No, no, no. Not for the furniture (although the gadgets are fun). For the food!!! I'm off to add a cup of coffee to this and start my week right...

Happy Rednesday

Sharing a recent thrift store find for Rednesday.

When I showed her to my husband he said, "Only the one?" Well yes. If there had been another one I would have picked it up!!!!!!!!!!!
She makes a nice addition to my daughter's collection of Kokeshi and nesting dolls.

Weekend Junque

It was a good weekend for junque. A very good weekend. The kind that still has treasures in bags...

The thrift gods were smiling on me Friday evening when they provided this perfectly sized vintage hamper. La Princess has been needing one and I have been loathe to purchase something new because a) I mostly hate them and find them vile and b) I'm cheap - I mean thrifty and there's no way I'm spending a lot. I knew if I waited long enough fortune would smile upon me. And it did. For $3. Thank you wise thrift gods. Thank you.
A large indoor flea market netted these other great finds (with A LOT more waiting in the wings). I know, I know. Pink is supposed to be the IT color of the year. Whatever. I'm an aqua kind of a girl. I don't need a new color - I love the palette I've got. Love that globe - she's ALL metal baby!
How appropriate is that sweet cherub Lefton planter? Still got the sticker on the bottom. Off to Etsy she will go.
A close up of the nursery decals on top of the hamper lid. How adorable are they?
More to show you in the coming days.
Hope your weekend was full of great junque.
