Hello ~ it's been a little while ~ well, I am trying to cope with this Vertigo that just doesn't want to leave me. I am feeling much better with the medication that I am on. Anyway, as you know, Mr. Vintage and I have been trying to sell the house, but......nothing. Alot of lookers but no takers.
We have decided once and for all ~ we are staying put ~! I am not leaving ~!
Mr. Vintage and I have talked alot and have prayed alot and we have come to the conclusion that we have everything that we want right here ~
So ~ there is going to be alot of redecorating and changes around the vintage household.
We have decided to go with the simple prairie farmhouse style throughout the house. Mr. Vintage is up to something today in the kitchen ;-)
I'll keep you posted. In the meantime, is spring coming soon? Does anyone know? Here in Ontario ~ yes, more snow ~ sigh ~ I need spring.
I hope wherever you are ~ you are enjoying your day ~! and send some Spring this way ~
(((Hugs)))

Happy Saturday ~! The sun is shining and it feels like spring here in Ontario. This makes me smile ;-)
I've been puttering with my mantel, trying to bring a little Spring into the Vintage Cottage ~
I decided my little fairy needed to come out and play ~
Love this little bird ~
I know I need to put these away, but I just can't yet. The mercury glass is just so pretty ~
How are you bringing Spring into the house? I think I'll just feather my nest today ~ sounds like fun to me ;-)
(((Hugs)))

Hello my friends, I have been under the weather lately ~
I have been diagnosed with vertigo ~ not a nice thing, but I am on the mend and back again with a smile on my face ;-)
Mr. Vintage and I picked up some chippy table legs last summer in Port Stanley. He knew he wanted to make a table or something with them. The other day a friend stopped by and brought some barn boards to us ~ such a good friend ~
Well, here is the instant coffee table Mr. Vintage created
We didn't even paint the barn boards ~ we left them as is ~
Love the chippy legs and the rustic touches ~
and the lace table runner is perfect with the rustic barn boards ~
I also bought a clock face at an antique store a while ago and yesterday I felt a little better and decided to do something with it.
Here it is before ~
and after ~
Instant wall art ~
These projects were quick and easy and I love them both ~
Now, time to rest ~
A cup of tea and some magazines ~
Do you have any projects on the go? I'd love to hear. Hopefully, this bout of vertigo will be gone ~ soon ~ I can't sit around and do nothing. It makes me crazy ~ sigh ~
(((Hugs)))

Hello my friends ~ I am adding a few little touches of spring to the Vintage home ~
Mr. Vintage and I picked up an old window the other day and I just had to do something with it ~
It has now become my spring inspiration board ~
I picked up these little vegetable markers at Michael's and now they are inspiring my spring mood ;-)
How are you bringing spring into your home?
I am linking up to Tweak it Tuesday ~ come and join the fun

Happy Friday ~!
Today it is snowy and blowy and freezy and rainy.
It is supposed to warm up, but the freezing rain is on the way ~ So, I decided to turn to a little Spring Inspiration ;-)
Mr. Vintage went with me to Michael's and he thought I should buy a little birdhouse. I did and he bought one too ;-) ~ Mr. Vintage is so cute
This is my little spring birdhouse ~
Here is Mr. Vintage's birdhouse ~
We spent the afternoon last weekend painting our birdhouses and laughing and chatting ~ it was a very enjoyable day ~
He also picked this up for me, it smells heavenly ~
Just a little spring inspiration for you on this snowy blustery day ~
Please share your spring inspiration with me ~
I can't wait for spring to arrive ~ how about you?
(((Hugs)))

Hello my friends ~ today is Family Day in Canada and President's Day in the United States ~
I thought I would show you how I have tweaked my little door. Mr. Vintage picked up this mirror on the weekend ~
I added the little lavender wreath as well
Happy Family Day to all my Canadian Blogging Friends and
Happy President's Day to all my U.S. Blogging Friends
I am linking up with tweak it Tuesday at Brenda's Cozy Little House ~
Have a great day~!

Happy Sunday everyone ~ It's sunny and bright here in Ontario today. Although still chilly ~
I bought this cute little antique doll bed at a yard sale last summer and I have not found a place to put it. Well, the other day, I put it under my desk in my little inspiration room ~
I think Chico has adopted the bed for his own ;-)
He always has to be near me, even when I am catching up with my blogging friends ~
Mommy ~ are you done? Can we play?
Can we play now?
Yes Chico, we'll play now
See you soon ~!
(((Hugs)))
