So, as I mentioned in my last post.  I was in Michigan at a flea market over the 4th of July weekend.  I bought myself some vintage cameras.  My sister bought a few cute items for my nieces room including some cool vintage (maybe?) shutters!  She got a few different sizes and colors... they are quite cute! :) She just like the look of them, but I quickly told her you can use them as display for photo or art of books or whatever!  Sister.... great purchase!  Here are few ideas on how to hang and use them. S... Sh... S... Sh.... SHHHHUTTERS! :)  Until next time....xoxo

V... is for vintage! Cameras!

So, I was in Michigan for the 4th of July holiday weekend....hence no post yesterday!  I thought I would spice it up and blog this week on Tuesday and Thursday.  Anyways.... Michigan was awesome.  We are very lucky to be invited to spend time on Lake Michigan with my brother-in-laws family.  It is truly awesome!    While there we hit an outdoor antique market.  This is one of my favorite things to do no matter where I am. We got some good finds!  I have always wanted vintage cameras for display and there was  a booth with a big collection .... reasonable priced.  I got three! Trying to decide if I should put these in our family room once the husband does the built-ins or in the living room which needs a little TLC right now.  Hmmmm!  Brimfield is in a few weeks- so I can only imagine that I might further add to the collection. Check out these images of inspiration! Let the collecting begin! :)  Until next time....xoxo

V ... is for Vintage. Flashcards!

At Brimfield last month - I saw vintage flashcards.  I am kicking myself for not buying some.  I was trying to be practical.... as I did not know what I was going to do with them.   Has that ever stopped me before?  No!!! How cute are these flashcards is this in a nursery?  I could see it in a playroom too.  You would just have to find the right words! Love it, need some... they are being added to my mental "wish list". Until next time....xoxo PS- Meatless Monday will be back next week.  Had to break for meat given the Memorial Day holiday!

B is for Brimfield!

Yep, it's back!  I was not sure I would make it to Brimfield this year as the usual suspects (my mom and my aunt) could not unite as my mom is on crutches.  But, luckily my friend KB stepped in and went with me for her second Brimfield trip.  You can always count on Brimfield for some wierd things.... like wax Pilgrim sculptures!  Don't me and my pilgrim friend look cute!? Have I mentioned that I LOVE Brimfield?  I wrote about it here , here , here and here  and more times than just those.  I did not have anything on my list this year- which was sad.  When we bought our house I always had a long list.   When I was working on Avery's nursery- I had a long list.  Dare I say that I am running out of things that I "need"?  Well, that did not stop me from buying a few things! Loved this clock.... did not buy! :) I have a thing for lockers right now, but did not buy!   Still love letters!  I did buy these small letter tile...
