Repurposed and Altered !

Finding various treasures along the way going to estate sales and thrifting it is amazing what little treasures combined will produce ! One of my most favorite things to create is using old or discarded items and creating something fun !

Listed this little birdie under a glass cloche dome on a pedestal on Etsy! Living a little serene life in it's own little world !

Hope you are having a wonderful , blessed & creative week !

Friday Flea Market & Fall is on it's way !

Friday Fea Market Link at the Bottom of this Post

I have been trying to get some fall things put out around my home this last week ! How fast summer went by , it seems I did not get everything I wanted to do done, as usual ! But it seems like fall is in the air & on it's way ! Some of the leaves are starting to turn, I don't know if this makes me happy or sad, I love fall and the fabulous weather we have , but then I also know that winter is coming ..... I have yet to ever want winter ! This is a photo of some treasures I have had for quite some time that I arranged under a glass dome. A vintage cut glass pitcher with some fall berries, a very very old little broom , a roseville pheasant and a card my sister made ( she is the card maker in the family ) ! Sitting beside the glass dome is a vintage hat that was my mothers, velvet leaves all in fall tones , how cool is that !? But I guess I would never be tempted to actually wear it !


Hope you take time on Friday to check out some of the vintage treasures I have listed !! This is the link to my Flea Market !! Hope you enjoy it !!

Around the House !

Thought I would just share a few photos of some things in my home ! Sometimes the things we posses are not valuable in others eyes , but the sentimental value is more ! Everything has it's own story !

The first photo is of a very old cup & saucer ! My mother ( who is 89 years) purchased this when she was first married for just pennies ! My father ( who is 96 years ) used this cup for his coffee ! My parents have had a wonderful marriage, one routine that they always had was my mother made coffee first thing in the morning and then brought my dad coffee in bed & they would sit for awhile in bed and start their day around a cup of coffee ! I know it is hard to imagine for some people , but I really never remember my parents ever having a disagreement even when I was growing up, I guess one would have to say "happily married" fits them well !

Second little photo is of one of my white depression glass sets with sweet little birdies nested inside ! They are Dept 56 birds , I found lost at a thrift shop and they wanted a home ! Now they are happy to have someone to care for them !!
Hope you enjoyed a little peek at some of my treasures !
