Well.....another weekend is slipping by.....

Another post to share another love of mine.....vintage cutlery!  I'm not sure where if when the love affair began....but my collecting of these wonderful pieces of history began a LONG time ago.

Not sure if it's the exquisite patterns that were once just common place or the worn patina that I'm drawn to.....but aren't they wonderful!  We are lucky enough to have a collection from my grandparents, brought originally with them out of necessity on their immigration from Holland.  My grandparents used them as young newly weds, my mother used them as a child and so did I....how wonderful!

So, my hubby asked me....what are you going to do with all these old forks and spoons?  Hmmmmm..."not sure" I replied..."can't I just have them?"  He blinked and said..."okaaaaay?!?

So, he doesn't share my passion, obviously, : ) but 

I guess I could share!

On with the thinking cap, and I came up with some wonderful creations with my collection to share with others!

Below are the results......enjoy!

holy, moly.....its FALL!  Yikes, where did the time go?  Its been kinda quiet on my blog.....but not so quiet in my brain, house or in my garage the past few months!  Friends, family and the odd road trip add up to me turning around and noticing the leaves are now yellow!  : ) 

I'm not sure quite where to start....hmmmm....maybe ladders, vintage cutlery, lovely chippy furniture, chalk paint......

Well, let's start at the top....ladders!  I really can't get enough of these!  I was drawn to them a looong time age in my studio and now the affair continues!  What to do with them?.....well, let's go!  The more rickety the better I say!  They are great as is propped up against a wall, or it could make a fantastic way to display quilting handi-work, or hang that throw for chilly nights.  I've added a few pics from my own home to demonstrate how awesome these pieces can work into a prim setting or in a modern home as a statement piece, as well!  I have a couple for sale, which I will list on the bottom of the post with pricing!  Enjoy every moment of the day!  terrie xox

Well........I looked at the calendar today and realized.......yes, its August all right!  I haven't

 been active here for a bit, but, rest assured i'm planning and on the hunt as usual, when time allows, for those one in a million finds!  ; )

  An amazing family wedding and lots of good weather enjoyment is taking up a lot of my free time, but come September i'll have some fun things to  add to my blog!  Stay tuned and check back in September for new additions!   Enjoy the last few weeks of this awesome season!  Terrie xo

before...

ahhhh, after...! xo

Deciding how to re-form her, i wondered where she might fit into a home?  Small enough for an entry, the perfect idea came to me....welcome!  Naturally, this is the theme that carried me to pineapples!  (only me...i love this!)  The traditional symbol for 'Welcome' .... this pineapple design fit perfectly into my vision!  Machine and hand embroidered with and on felted wool, and tea dyed to perfection...i think you'll agree, she's turned out adorable!  All cleaned up and waiting to feather a new nest!  enjoy!  



little white dresser...

Its been a busy day...: ) ...and so fun!  I took this adorable piece and gave her a new outlook on lifes' purpose!  A little elbow grease, suds and such, and she's again the perfect accent piece!  Perfect for in the front entry, a night stand or even in a childs' room!  The  top drawer has been replaced with a basket for drop-ins...the pulls were already perfect in every way!...chips included!  I've lined all the drawers with darling paper printed with inspiring quotes!  No disappointments here...a cutie to feather your nest!  Enjoy!  xo
