Hello friends!

Last week while out and about we stopped

in an antique

shop we hadn’t been to in a while.

I picked up a box of old books for $38.

Most of them were

in really bad shape so I ripped

the covers off some and bound them with twine.

For now they have

found a home on the table in the living room.

Happy Monday!

Hello friends!

Hope you all had a fabulous weekend?

The weather yesterday was just gorgeous!

Apparently mother nature has decided that we only

need a couple of days of spring

though because they next few days are going to be hot!

So, what is going on this week?

Anything fun or exciting?

My birthday gift……

 

Hello friends!

Hope your week is off to a fabulous start?

My husband and I went to the

Bottoms Up Market on Friday in KC.

The market is held in an old industrial building and

is four floors of pure fabulousness!!!!

One of the treasures I found

was this antique French bottle drying rack.

My sweet hubby bought it for me as an early birthday gift.

-------

-------

It has the perfect amount of patina…..

and it is a really large one too!

Here you can see the size in comparison

to the window

-------

-------

I also got five of these

wonderful old French wine bottles.

-------

-------

I placed them on the French bottle drying rack

that I got the other day from Decor Steals.

Here you can see

the name etched in one of them…..

so beautiful!!!!!!

New finds…..

Hello Friends!

Today I am sharing a couple

of new finds in the little quirky hall

between the kitchen and

downstairs bath.

-------

-------

A few weeks ago Decor Steals had these

French bottle drying racks as the Today’s Steal.

So charming I just couldn’t resist

and had to have one!

-------

-------

Originally I intended to use it in the dining room

on the French Baker’s table but

after trying it 101 different ways I decided it

just wasn’t working in there.

So, it found it’s way into the kitchen in the window

of the quirky little hallway.

-------

-------

Here you can barely see the bottle drying rack

peeking out of the window.

I  found the antlers

above the chalk board while shopping for

something else on eBay.

I had Mr. Handyman mount them for me……

An accidental collection…..

 

It all starts off innocently enough…..you pick up an

item that intrigues you.

Then the next thing you know you have two

or three…..and sometimes more!

This is the case with my collection of fedora hats.

-------

hats!

-------

I’m not even sure when I started collecting them actually?

However I keep picking

them up here and there……and they look nice

stacked in the niche above the front door.

The collection was slightly bigger until recently when

three were damaged beyond repair.

-------

-------

The front door was actually

a window on the side of the building originally.

When the house was turned into a private residence part of

the window was removed and a door was added which

is why there is a niche above the door.

-------

So, do you have an accidental collection?

If so, I would love to hear all about it!

A new little transferware treasure….

 

I recently picked up this little transferware

creamer from the 1840’s……

It is the perfect size for a small bouquet of flowers

and looks so cute

perched on top of this stack of books.

-------

I love the slight crazing…….so beautiful!

I prefer pieces with imperfections

 which of course is also easier on the pocket book.

Oddities…….

It’s no secret that I am sometimes drawn to unusual or odds things.

Oddities as I like to call them…….

My husband no longer asks what I am going to do

with the oddities I find.

My latest is an antique carving set with bone handles.

I paired it with

my silver meat dome for now…….

-------

-------

I was completely smitten with the handles which are

smooth from many years of use.

I found the set at an antique store for $15.

I thought that was a pretty good deal but really I love them so

much it doesn’t matter?!?!?!

Have a great weekend my friends!

Have a seat!

-------

I might have a slight obsession with chairs…….

along with pillows, lamps, and rosary's!

I can never seem to get enough of any of these items

it would seem!?!?!
