Some Silly Stuff

Hello,

In the dead of winter, when the anticipation and excitement of Christmas has passed, and all that's left is a bit of a gloomy gray day outside-we all need a little silly stuff! I snapped the following silly stuff (and some pretty stuff) on a recent Sat outing with my bf. My fav item (pictured above) is a dashing red hat, matching scarf, and movie star glasses every fashion Diva should have.

Hope you enjoy!

I bought the adorable red and white polka-dot apron with heart pocket to wear when I greet my guests at an upcoming Valentine's day dinner party I have planned.

I yearn for the first sunshine of Spring and planting pretty purple pansies in my urns.

Everything looks pretty under a cloche!

She saw sea shells at the sea shore (and the antique store).

Amateur rose paintings are popular to collect and add charm to your dining or bedroom.

The "Drama" Queen! Who doesn't want to be one?

June weddings are right around the corner. Why not choose a beautiful vintage gown?

Oh Cinderella, Cinderella when will Spring ever come?
Take care,
Di

Christmas in the Rear View Mirror

Hello,

As we steer towards Valentine's Day and Christmas is fading fast in the rear view mirror, I wanted to share a few pics of my booth all decorated up for Christmas. I hope you enjoy this last look at my fav holiday as I bubble-wrap and pack-up the last brilliant bulb, red ribbon, and shiny bauble-not to be seen again until the snow flies next November!
A tiny pink tree sits atop a white garden table surrounded by pretty pink bulbs and watched over by a heavenly angel.

An Antiques Store stays open late for last minutes shoppers searching for the perfect present.

Fluffy pink cookies sit on a pink flowered plate. The word "Dream" is spelled out in old game pieces and invites you to do the same.
A vintage Betty Crocker's "Cake and Frosting Cookbook" waits to instruct you on how to make the perfect sugar cookie or lemon bar.

A pair of poodles sit under the pink tree.

"Polly's Christmas Present" begs to be taken home and read to your little one."

A red reindeer family sit on a shabby shelf and vintage tags wait to be filled-out and put on pretty packages.
A plastic light-up Santa and a "Made-in-Japan" Santa cohabit ate on an adorable blue and black dresser with black flower seat pad chair.

A letter to Santa sits on an old typewriter with the word "Believe" spelled out in game pieces- do you believe?


Mismatched Santa salt & pepper shakers are fun to collect and can be purchased cheap if they have lost they're mate.
And here's another.

A corner packed with all sorts of pretties to take home!

A pair of pink Paris hatboxes make great storage.

I "Wish" you all the best in the new year!

Happy New Year!
