You might of guessed from last post that it is not an easy decision and when I feel a bit "stressed" I head to the local antique store, Goodwill or Marshall's /TJ Maxx/Homegoods. I don't think I go crazy...if I went off the deep end..I'd head to the nearest Apple store and pick up one of these babies in White , it doesn't matter to me so much if it has all the gadget, just as long as it is in my "signature color"...or really, really off the deep end I'd drive home in one of these in white too!! But I think I'm relatively tame but that is all relative too in who is giving their opinion. Here are some cute things I've picked up that have caught my eye and have me thinking of my situation where I need to take the Lemons I've been dealt with and make some Lemonade. Would you like some Lemonade too?
Some Ruffle cute Daffodils from Trader Joes..they are a bit spent since I got them last week and finally today I got a picture of them. They sit in a Mint Julep cup, I got at the Goodwill awhile ago. The M was a gift from my neighbor down the street . The Crystal Lamp..was my Mother's and my absolute favorite of all my lamps. These item found a new home sitting on my {MacKenzie's old } desk. She got a vanity someone was about to put on the curb. When I can move furniture and paint again..that puppy is getting a new paint job..the vanity that is not the desk I like it all chippy and creamy white.
This dusty old lamp I picked up at the neighborhood junk market {antique store} . I thought the shade had a nice shape and I love the ruffles. Not too sure about the print though..looks a bit dated.
The base is very heavy and it's a nice distressed creamy white. We do need more lamps in the house so it was good buy at 7 dollars.
While at the Antique store I was attracted to this mini Windsor Chair. I have been slowly collecting mini chairs. Do I see a new collection going on? I like these, especially the heart one and wouldn't mind adding one more or three to the growing Mini chair collection.
I think this shabby chic bucket looks perfect on it with a pretty rose colored plant on it.
Can you see the mini Adirondack chair under these new sunny yellow shoes? See I have 3 chairs so that must mean I have a collection of them, I also have a bench that need painting, it is a mini too. Those sunshiny shoes were so adorable and Ruffles are so in!! Not only are those babies happy shoes they are comfortable. I got them at Payless for 19.95 smakarooes. They had them in silver too. I would of liked them in other colors, maybe red or white.
They have a cork heal and best of all I can walk in them! I think when it is spring I'm thinking of the sun and am enamored with all thing yellow cause look what came home with me yesterday...
An Apron!! Not only did they have this cute Apron at TJ Maxx they had them in other colors, blue, green and some have aprons in vintage style prints. I was able to restrain myself and get the apron with some potholders to match.
It did my soul some good to get out and see the cute things that are in the shops for spring. It did me good to do a little shopping. Somethings we needed and other things maybe not so much. Hope you can do a little "therapy" too when you need it....they say it's cheaper then a psychiatrist and I completely agree, don't you? Where is your favorite place to go when you need a little pick me up?
Edited to add, I'm McLinking up to Show and Tell over at Cindy's Romantic Home have a gander of all the blog goodness over there. I love her sweet little embroidered pin cushion heart.
