The Blues...

Looks like my timing is impeccable as usual... ;)
Mary doesn't appear to be hosting Mosaic Monday
this week, but I hope you'll bear with me...

And for more "blues" head over to Sally's
for BLUE MONDAY .

One Clever Magpie!

I knew she seemed familiar...Angela at COTTAGE MAGPIE that is.

{ I ADORE THIS PICTURE!!!!}



But her blog, though beautiful...{actually it looks like a copy of Martha Stewart Living!} appeared to be newish...I though I was losing my mind...then I saw the "ARCHIVES" link...
Ahhhhhh-ha!!!!! I'm not completely crazy after all! {partially? I'll give you that!}




She is back to regular blogging now after getting life and a new baby well
in hand.
But, if you have a free day...I mean that...24 solid hours...you really should
delve into Angela's archives!




Does she take the most gorgeous pictures, or what?


They could be in any magazine!




This is one of the 3 homes she has "fixer-up'd"...adorable!
And she dished all the DIY details!




Did I mention she's quite crafty too!




Yah! Look at all this cuteness! I was serious when I said you'd need 24 hours!



I am so glad she left a comment, so that I could re-discover her!
WHAT A TREAT!!!!

Extra! Extra!

Just look at that!!!!
Doesn't it look intriguing????
Inviting????
Yummy!!!!!!!!!

It's a brand new magazine coming out
in 2010 from Matthew Mead & Ki Nassauer!!!
And after the loss of so many of our
favorites this year...this is just what we need!!!

So, spread the word!!!
And stop by their new BLOG too!!!

Wicked Good Whites & A Winner...

Blame it on the sunshine...




Blame it on those darn buttons...




Just don't blame me!




I cannot help myself!
(if someone doesn't forcibly take these
buttons away from me that's all you'll be
seeing for months! ;)



The light was just really pretty through
the dining room window...




So, I just stood there and pulled whatever
I liked from the credenza drawers and
"snapped" it!



Little of this...



little of that...




Heavy on the things that shine!




Whatever was within reach...




"Snap!"



Yah, I'm sick! ;)



But it's a good kinda sick...
uh...I think? ;0





So, enjoy the whites and I promise
no more buttons tomorrow!


Stop by FADED CHARM COTTAGE for
more WHITE WEDNESDAY !



And a big YIPEE goes out to June from the
beautiful blog LAUGHING WITH ANGELS !
She was the winner of our BLUE GIVE AWAY .

Lucious Treat...

I suppose these are aperitif glasses...
our parents were really "aperitif" kind of
people, so they didn't get much use...
although we would drink Kool Aid from
them on occasion ;).
I came across them during my recent
garage cleaning, so I brought them in
and washed them up.




Then I got to playing with all my buttons
yesterday...and one thing lead to another...
why hide my buttons away when they look
so pretty in the sunlight!






Like a scrumptious treat!
Almost edible...




All you need is a spoon!


Since I was loving the look of these 3
so much that I had to take pictures...
I thought I'd join in my first Tuesday
with Tam!

Be sure to stop by THE GYPSY'S CORNER
for THREE OR MORE TUESDAY !

Vintage Beauty...

I {heart} vintage millinery!!

MOSAIC MONDAY!!

Sweet Mother Of Pearl!

I have had these Target frames lolling
about for months...3 for $2...I had so many
ideas for them that I couldn't get started with
any of them...does that ever happen to you...
creative overload?? ;)
Well, today the Muse came out to play and
I got with the program!




Very simple...



...but I just love the look of mother of
pearl on white!
Well, Muse was not satisfied...feeling a tad
frisky she was!!





This has been lolling for a few years...boooooooring!
Muse believed that it simply screamed out for
more buttons!





That chick is a genius!



Sparkly...




Shiny...





Glittery...




Goodness!

Muse deserves a raise!

Just A Smidge More...

I had several requests to show pictures with
a bit more detail of my caged ballerina from
earlier this week, so here she is, in all her
armless glory! ;)




Poor little thing...






And more pics and details regarding my
starfish in a cage....
