Vintage Finds

For the last couple of years I have been collecting vintage decorations for the holidays. Last year I was able to pick up a few vintage (looking) bottle trees and ornaments to add to my Christmas/Winter collection, but I'm always on the lookout for little treasures to add to my stash of pretties.

While visiting some of my favorite blogs, I stumbled upon this online magazine created by Amy Powers. It's absolutely fabulous! I spent way too much time pouring over the beautiful photographs, the holiday tutorials, and eye candy ads!

She has even included a link to all the printables and patterns!

You really need to check this out!

(Warning: Be prepared to ignore whatever it was you were planning on doing!)

(Ahhh!!!! Hot air balloons!!!)

(You can check out the rest of the issue here.)

You can also read the Autumn Issue here.

Want so more eye candy?

Head on over to Etsy and type in your favorite holiday word.

My word of the day was "Mercury Glass".

SERIOUS drool factor!

(Santa, go ahead and bring me any or all of these please. :)

Dreaming

The other day I posted about some items I found to decorate our new house. You may have noticed that I left out some important rooms. One of those rooms is the Master Bedroom. Again, the amazing Janel led me in the direction of a fabulous Etsy shop called dottieangel. I've now been stalking her Etsy Shop and visiting her blog regularly for updates. Anyway, I instantly fell in love with the vintage materials and colors that Tif (dottie angel) uses. I would absolutely love to build our bedroom around her pieces. Do you think it's too girly? I keep showing Rex the photos, hinting at how wonderful it would look (eventually). A mix of vintage pieces, repurposed pieces, with some newer pieces thrown in, that's my dream room. Did I mention the light blue chandelier hanging over the vintage chair in the corner? (Rex is totally onboard with the chandelier by the way!) It's going to be so much fun finding great little pieces for our house. I can't wait!

*I REALLY wish she still had this decorated deer bust. I've been all over the internet searching for this deer! Has anyone seen one like this? Please let me know if you have. I just adore it!*

Time to head off to dream some more!

In Love.

Hot air balloons have always been magical to me. About a month ago, I found out that the small town we are hoping to move to has a Hot Air Balloon Festival each summer!!!!! I have absolutely fallen in LOVE. I've been thinking about them, dreaming about them, looking for anything hot air balloon related to decorate the new house with....you name it, I've searched it. And as proof that it's meant to be...the hot new image showing up in scrapbooking lines everywhere...hot air balloons!

So guess where I'm heading today! I've been SO excited about this for the last month. Can't stop thinking about it, talking about it, dreaming about it excited.

I can't wait to go explore *my new hometown*!!!

So Amazing!

I absolutely adore this blogging community! Although I have never met Miss Lindsay, I have been visiting her blog for quite a while now and she is such an inspiration to me. She is amazingly sweet and talented, and her etsy shop is wonderful!

Just today she added an adorable (and affordable) line of badges. They look like scouting badges! Of course I ran over and ordered a few for myself, but now I'm wondering if I should go back and buy a couple more.....hmmmm...

Did I mention that she has even made a special badge to support Janel and Adam's adoption fund? If you're not already familiar with Lindsay, go check out her blog and her shop, you won't be disappointed!

I'm Back from....

and thought while you are waiting for camp pictures (I took 739!) I would share some fun ETSY goodness with you. All items can be found by searching "camp".

Enjoy!

(This would have been SO much cuter than the one I used.)

(This is for real, not a photo. I wish I could afford to buy it!)

(Mini-album anyone?)

(These hand-made merit badges are one of my favorite etsy items.

I'll do a separate post on them soon. :)

Alice: Home Edition

(I have a record just like this!)

(The old illustrations always appeal to me the most)

(This teapot is hand drawn!)

(This one too!)

(Simple, yet oh so fun)

(These would look cute in my cupboard.)

(I want one of these for my new macbook.)

(This would be so pretty holding my rings.)

(This holds so many possibilities)

Only 2 more days!
