Do You Ever Think...


...about what you'd buy if you
won the lottery? (With the money
that was left after you bought every
one a house, a safe car, paid off all
student loans and adopted an entire
village through World Vision...)

This isn't an all-consuming thought for
me, it really just rears it's ugly head
whenever I get a new
VICTORIAN TRADING CO. CATALOG !
(I know! How boring am I??? I should be
saying Tiffany's, huh? ;)

I just like to have my little daydream
as I devour it, page by page...



I would sit here...


wearing this...





and this(and I would't get "hat hair")



and these...




and these...(trust me, in my daydream
everything matches!)




these would be on my porch...




this would be over my bed...





this would be full of first edition Jane Austen
novels (and painted white!)





this would sit charmingly on my bedside
table because I don't wear silver...but
I still think it's really cute!




I would have one (or more) of these...because
I have always wanted one ever since I saw them
in "Little Women".



Well, you kind of need to buy the lottery
tickets if you ever plan to win so....
I'll just be happy with my daydreams.

The Outsider...



LOOK! A charming little Easter bunny just
covered with blue German glass glitter!





Oh...what the....now there are two!




FOR CORN SAKE!! Three???!!!
They are multiplying like, uh yah...





Uh-oh....what's this all about????






Ohhhhhhh, now I get it!



Suuuuure...we know her kind...
look at that snooty nose in the air!







Looks like they have given her the
"ol cotton tail"! Just call her Pony Boy!



All that to say....to get the pink
bunnies I had to buy the blue too...
they were sets...but we now peacefully
co-exist! Well, at least I think we do...
I'm not really sure what goes on when
I turn the lights out! Hmmmmmm....


Hurry over to Smiling Sally's for
more BLUE MONDAY madness! ;)

The BEST Metamorphosis Ever....

Hurry over to visit our hostess, Susan, at
BETWEEN NAPS ON THE PORCH

It's An Emergency!

No, seriously, a real emergency!
And I need HELP!




Somebody make the call!





I cannot control myself!



I bought more of these....



SICK! SICK! SICK!




But aren't they pretttttttty!





Pretty gorrrrrrrgeous!





Gorgeously lovvvvvvvvvely!




Even the pets want to abscond with them!




And oh, so photogenic!!






Don't you just want to throw them all
over the floor and roll around in them...
uh, ok, maybe that's just me ;0....






OK, I think I have regained control of
my faculties now....that was a close one!
Before you have me taken away for a 48
hour psych evaluation...hurry over to
HOW SWEET THE SOUND
for more PINK SATURDAY treats...
(sirens and lights are optional!)

Button It!!




I recently became the proud owner of 2 darling
pillows...just dripping with mother-of-pearl buttons!






one star....




one heart.....



covered in about 1 million buttons...
sewn on...not glued!
Whaaaat patience!






I found them through an Etsy shop called
LAZY PEAS
no relation or affiliation, just one seriously detail
oriented perfectionist!



Gorgeous carved buttons...from the
teenie tiniest...




to this monster giant!

The workmanship is awesome, I do believe
these are heirlooms in the making!

Be sure to visit our hostess, Kelli over at
THERE IS NO PLACE LIKE HOME
for more SHOW & TELL FRIDAY!
