It's been awhile since I've posted. February was a whirlwind with my son's wedding, news of a new baby, and the sad passing of our beloved Alaiki. The wedding was beautiful with a vintage theme. I'll post pics shortly of all the fun decorating items we came up with.
Alaiki's passing was extremely hard as he was with us 15 years. He was a sweet dog who was part of the family (he slept on our bed until his arthritis made it too hard to get up). My son used to ride him when he was little, and he once stole a chocolate pie off the counter my Mother had just finished baking. You really don't realize the impact an animal has on your life and the void when they are gone. I still look for him at night when I get home. If you have a little furry friend who gives you unconditional love, be sure to pat him on the head and give him an extra treat tonight.
A few weekends back, I went to a super shabby sale in an old schoolhouse. The house itself was to-die-for with it's old brick facade, crumbling fountain, charming trellis with climbing vines, and upstairs balcony. It was like something from Gone With The Wind-but in Idaho!
The schoolhouse was filled with shabby treasures, garden decor and Easter displays. I wanted to stay all day! Enjoy!
P.S.-My new fabulous daughter-in-law loves vintage and is now my "assistant" helping me with eBay listings and the antique mall. We just listed some vintage Barbie outfits and accessories. See our eBay link if you're interested.
Take care,
Di
