Valentine's Day Treasures ~

I love vintage calling cards..... they make me smile ;-)

I would love to start that tradition again.... How lovely to leave your card letting your friends and loved ones know that you were there ~ and you care ~



I also LOVE vintage valentine cards ~ how sweet ~

This is my valentine card to YOU ~ because you my friends make me very happy and I love each and EVERY one of you~

What special Valentine's Day treasures do you LOVE ;-)

Inspirational ~

I think everyone needs a little corner or a room somewhere in their home in order to create and become inspired ~ Don't you?

I was not satisfied with my space..I didn't care for the computer desk so.....

Mr. Vintage and I went thrifting this weekend.  I had a vintage pie table and we found a hutch (I didn't even have to paint it~!).  It's perrrrrfect!

What do you think?

I LOVE the way the light comes in the window in the morning. ;-)

and in the afternoon ~

I added some of my inspirational items....



And I finally made myself an inspiration board ;-)

I am sooo happy with this space...I should be very INSPIRED..Do you have a special inspiration place?  Please tell me..... I can't wait to hear ~

Lamp love

I LOVE, lamps...oil lamps, electrified lamps, any kind of lamp ;-)

These green lamps with the chrystal drops are wonderful..



I have a pair of them...



Here's an old oil lamp that sits on our bedroom mantel

Our guest bedroom lamp...

Mr. Vintage's lamp, very manly ~

I call this one my fairy lamp

But my ABSOLUTE favourite lamp is this one.....

Have a very enlightening Sunday :-)

Little Tin Cup

I LOVE this little enamelware cup.....

I bought this little cutie at a yard sale one day for 25 cents. I thought it would look cute in my vintage 50's, yellow kitchen with red and turquoise accents.  When I brought it home, my hubby's eyes lit up and he smiled.  He started telling me about his childhood when he worked on a farm and they had the same little cup next to the well where he would get a drink of water during the day ~ that night, he told me stories about working on the farm when he was a young boy.  I listened and listened, with a very grateful heart.  We  had a great evening. ~ sigh ~

Now, this little treasure has a place of honour in our home, hanging by the sink ~ so when Mr. Vintage feels like it, he can have a drink of water out of it..... and remember...

 Who would have known that this little red and white cup could hold so many memories?  ;-)

Do you have something that makes you remember?

Tell me, I'll be listening

(((Hugs)))

Watching paint dry

Why does paint take so LONG to dry?

Well, I painted my clock, then.....

I dusted my shelf...



I dusted my gone with the wind lamp and cleaned, did laundry ~ and still the paint was not dry enough.  The next door neighbours, Karen and Mike,  invited Mr. Vintage and I for dinner.  It was yummy chilli.  When we got there, a gift was sitting at my place setting.  Karen said it reminded her of me ;-)

Isn't this the cutest shabby pen and paper set?  THANK YOU Karen you are a sweetheart .

This morning, my clock was FINALLY dry enough, So I shabbied her up a bit ~  and here she is!

I love the way the rosettes stand out now

I Just LOVE my new old clock ~ ;-)

Tell me....

Where is she?

Mommy hasn't been feeling well ~ her tummy is upset.  We've been napping on the couch. But....
where did Mommy go?

It's too cold to go outside....



I found Mommy...she's painting her clock ~ well, I guess I'll nap by myself. 

 

Unless YOU want to nap with me..... Love Mindy
