MAKEUP FOR MATURE SKIN

I love Angel wings,I am not sure what it is that attracts me to them. Maybe it's the pure white color,and the soft wings,and the bit of pure romance. I found a lovely set a few years ago at a garage sale,they were very nice but a bit small. Then I won a set on Decor Steals. It's one of my favorite treasures in my family room,but I still adore the soft look of a feathered pair of angel wings. As you can see this is an older photo,I don't have that chandelier any longer. As I was out enjoying a girls day out up at the lake I spotted a pair of Angel wings. They were perfect just the size I had been looking for ! And yes as soon as I spotted them I knew just where I was going to put them. On my chippy garden gate I have hanging on my dining room wall! I previously had a pink oval ... View Post

Yes I enjoy my bling especially when it comes to chandeliers,then I spotted this antique French chandelier and it was love at first sight. There is something about a little glitz and glamor that I have always been attracted too. Even as a child I loved shiny nail polish or lip gloss,that little bit of sparkle always caught my eye. Several months ago I added chandeliers to my kitchen. And no I don't ever think you can have enough bling in your home. After adding these to my kitchen my dining room really looked out of place. Well not my dining room but the chandelier hanging in my dining room. It was not original to our house,but it was what I could afford at the time. This photo was taken a few months ago. It was pretty but very simple. Then I spotted it,a gorgeous antique ... View Post

Yes I am a vintage gal and being so I love surrounding my self with vintage items,and often repurposing  vintage treasures to use in other ways and not as they were intended. Wow that sort of makes me sound like a rebel,well I guess I am sort of. I don't follow rules when I decorate,I do what I like and surround myself with things I love. This holds true for pieces I use everyday,but I put a little spin on it. This soda bottle is not vintage,but looks vintage ,I found it at World market. I bought many of these for my daughters graduation party back in June. I love the graphics on this one,thinking of using these as vases for my flowers,another idea came to me. Using it for my dish soap. I just added on of those olive oil spouts,you can find these at just about any store. Look in ... View Post

I love vintage picnic baskets,and I also love using them. They are useful for so many things,and they are also very pretty stacked up on top of each other. But I must admit I love using these vintage picnic baskets as they were meant to be used. Not necessarily for a picnic,I love the outdoors but I am not an outdoorsy kind of gal. If you know me you know I would never in a million years want to camp,not even glamping. But we do take day trips in the summer and we always bring along snacks and things for the road. I love pulling my baskets out for these trips,there is something about using a vintage picnic basket that makes our adventure more exciting! We still bring a cooler to keep refrigerated items cold,but this basket stores our snacks,plates,utensils and napkins. Yes I ... View Post

I would love to sit here and tell you all very proudly that I made this vintage Jewelry stand,but the truth is I did not. I found it months ago right after I finished my daughters bathroom make over,you can read more about that HERE. But I was busy and just never got around to sharing this. I found this while out shopping,it is so simple I could have just made this myself,but I did not have the pieces to do it and the price was right so I bought it. But I wanted to share it with you all because it will inspire you to look for fun pieces when you are out treasure hunting. If you are like me besides looking for pretty pieces when I am treasure hunting,I always dig through the tools,and houseware things. Sometimes you will find cool vintage drawer pulls,old paint brushes,or a vintage ... View Post
