Tresors from my bedroom

I thought I would let you take a peek inside my bedroom today. I think I have shown parts of it quite some time ago, but it has been awhile. Not much has changed except for an accessory or two, but I have been playing around in PicMonkey so the photos are a bit different. That program is very addicting and I can see how a person could waste spend hours in there playing around. 

Notice the white lanterns? I hung these on my chandy just to get them out of the way when I had the fairy party for my grands LAST SUMMER! I keep thinking that I need to move them, but somehow it always gets pushed to the very bottom of my to do list.

A very favorite vintage ceiling tin frame that has been in here forever, but I just LOVE it!

Also , a very favorite shelf that I have had for several years as well and wish I had more. :)

The beautiful photo in the frame came from Alice over at Thoughts from Alice blog. 

An old shutter, vintage lace and just lovely goodness.  

I have a obsession with vintage mirrors and this one is a favorite, along with my linen bag that I purchased at the French Flea in Tipton, Indiana the first year they had it. 

Donna from D. Reyne made the bag and she did an awesome job. 

See, I CAN do color !! ha!

I used to have tons of scarves hanging on each curly-q that is on the hanging planter, but I just took them off a week or two ago. Sometimes a gal just needs a change.

I hope you enjoyed your mini tour of my bedroom today.  My bed isn't made yet today, but I will get to that as soon as I post this. lol.

 I spent the last two days over at my sons house babysitting my two precious granddaughters and I took lots of photos, so I hope to be doing a post soon.

Happy Thursday!! :)

{Note: Don't you just love the metal cross in the first photo? I scooped that up at Hobby Lobby in their 80% off sale. I had to fork over a whopping 80 cents for it. Funny thing is that I had looked at it several weeks ago , but it didn't have a price so I just put it back. Sometimes it is just a hassle to get that figured out, but I was there again last week and saw it in the discount pile so decided I wasn't leaving without it. ha!}

Sharing this post over at Timewashed : Blissful Whites Wednesday. If you have a minute please head on over and check it out.

Some recent finds and around the house

Oh my goodness!

It is sooooo hot here. Supposed to

hit 102 degrees today with a heat index that is

much higher. I will be very thankful when the heat lets

up as it is hard to do anything at all in this weather.

I have been mostly staying indoors except for yesterday

when I ran off for a haircut, pick up a prescription and to

buy my hubby some food/drink for work.

Looks like another day of pretty much the same so I

have been paying bills online , a little laundry and

staying inside! Our little air conditioner is working

it's heart out. We ususally run it at night and then turn

it off during the day because it stays pretty nice in here

with fans etc., but I haven't shut it off yet today from

last night. Just too hot!

Remember the antique booth I went to several weeks

ago and got my french items? I also purchased these two

candles in the same booth. Aren't they pretty?

My favorite corner and lampshade again

some of my old dried hydrangeas in a birdcage

Last week I headed up to the antique mall where I

used to have my booth and spotted some sidewalk

sales so I stopped back at them on the way

home. There is a very nice upscale home store and

that is where I purchased most of my items including

the dried lavender laundry sachet above. It is a nice

large size. You throw it in the dryer for a nice

lavender scent...haven't tried it yet. :)

I also found this burlap pillow cover for $2.00!! Can't beat that. Now I just need to get a pillow form

for it.

Then I picked up two linen stockings with the initials

*S* on them. They had probably half a dozen or so

and they all had the same initial.

I hope you are having a good day today and if you

are in the midst of a heatwave like we are please stay

inside and be very careful if you do go out.

Also, please say a prayer for my hubby and son who

both are working in this awful weather.

Blessings~

Simple inspiration board

A stop at TJ Maxx this past summer yielded this

beautiful linen covered *inspiration board*.

All this time it has been sitting in my studio just waiting

for *moi* to do something with it.

I started with simple vintage felt letters and some old

millinery.

Next I added a silver glittered heart and a

bit of trim from a package received...

Some of that lucious crinkled seam binding...

a beautiful vintage bracelet...

a button that you can barely see in this photo...

and finally a cross...

It is sitting on my dining room hutch for now...

What do you think?
