Even though I have a ton around my house I want to do, add to, change.
I definitely have somethings that I love.
Special collections, little nooks, treasures I have found.
SO Guess What?! Yes, you got it right and you are super lucky!
I am going to share some of those things with you.
We live in a home that was built in 1915, by my family.
It is a cute little house with lots of character and charm.
With that comes a price. We have NO storage.
Seriously I have a small closet in my bedroom
and a small under the stairs closet
in the bathroom.
I feel that we are always fighting a constant struggle to
find space. organize. de-clutter. rearrange.
I love it though. It helps me reevaluate what we have
to what we need. Keeps me on my toes if you will.

| my Fire King collection and some fun painted wine glasses |
There you have it friends. Some of my favorite things.
I find things I love and mix and match things.
To me it gives you a warm, comfy, home-y feeling.
Looking around my house at these things that I have
found at different stages in my life.
Or all the different places I have traveled.
Reminds me of who I am and the amazing journey
I have taken to get here.
I look forward to many more finds and things I hope to one day
be able to hand down to my children and their children. =)
The thought truly warms my heart!
Shine on Lovelies,

oook.. i am in love with that lamp shade! did you make it? or buy it like that? either way it looks quite lovely in your home!
ReplyDeleteThank you Amy! As much as I would love to say I made it. I got it at Target on sale today! =) It was perfect and such an awesome find. =)
DeleteI LOVE your house! It's darling! I can't believe your family built it!! Umm how awesome is that?! That lamp is incredible. I love your use of colors.
ReplyDeleteThank you! My husbands always welcomes people to his wives crayon box! ;) What can I say?! I LOVE color.
DeleteYour house is my favorite! I can't wait to get ours done so you can see it the next time you come down! And don't forget about your sister to hand things down to ;)
ReplyDeleteI could never forget about you! I may actually have some stuff for you when you come to visit. did you see the peach shiny fire king bowl?! Granny Pat found it for me at a yard sale for 2 dollars!!
DeleteI love your Fire King collection! The colors are lovely. I just took the plunge and started a vintage Pyrex collection. I always see Fire King and think its darling. They must be similar in terms of eras? Although there are tons of pieces online, I love the hunt. Four dollars at a thrift store? Score! It just wouldn't feel the same if I had spent $50 on a bowl on Ebay. Just discovered your blog! I look forward to reading more.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you found me! I love the search it is the best part. I started my collection when my grandma gave me the creamer and sugar set she got as a wedding gift 50+ years ago. I love the vintage pyrex too. Love all the fun colors. My sister is collecting that as well.
