MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Loving Lace

My husband took me to the Ventura Flea Market in September which is a gift itself.  I was looking for everything in general and nothing in particular when I came across a tattered plastic bag.  Yep, that's what I bought!  Well, it was filled with lots of surprises....lots and lots of crocet lace.  Take a look!

I'll list some lace on Etsy soon.  In the meantime, I'm loving the lace as a photo backdrop for my tag necklaces.  Coming soon on Etsy and now listed at cutepinkstuff.com .

Thanks for browsing!

My New Ride

Yes, I'm riding a tricycle!  A garage sale find worthy of some detailing. 

A custom license plate...PINK, of course!

An old fashioned horn.  It's LOUD, so it comes in handy to warn all in my path!

Pink fuzzy dice hanging from my rear view mirror.

White ruffled basket liner I made from a linen blend fabric.

 My favorite part of the makeover, so it deserves 2 photos!

Front ruffled basket liner I made from Rachel Ashwell Rosalie fabric.

Cute cat lock.  It comes with 2 keys that are PINK!

DONE!  (Should have raked leaves before my photo shoot.)  Trader Joe's here I come!

If you share my love for 3 wheelers, I'd love to hear from you!

Fear of Commitment?

The fear of commitment had a different meaning when I was single.  It referred to relationships.  Now that I'm married and own a home, this term refers to something completely different...decorating style!

 I love shabby chic... (my latest office re-do)

 but, I also love whimsy (my desk accessories.)

I love cottage (my printer cover, file cabinet and bulletin board.)

 but, I also love quirky (Halloween decor on our mantel.)

I love French (our front door.)

 

My rental space at Very Vintage.

but, I also love kitschy (1950's ceramic mermaid and fish plaques)

I also love white on white and more white (this isn't my bedroom, but a mom can dream!  See more of this Victorian cottage here.)

 but, I also love color, mostly PINK (these make me smile!)

I love rustic (old crib I bought and regret selling!)

Rustic ceiling tin we installed under our mantel.

I love new, but I also love vintage (new Eiffel Towel applique on old window, old scale and reproduction clock made to look like an old scale.)

Our entire home is an eclectic mix of all decorating styles!  Is it the fear of commitment or the love of everything that inspires me?  Yes, maybe both!
