Today is just one of those days

when you don't want to do anything, but be at home.  I ask Michael last night if we could just stay home this morning instead of getting out.  So few Saturday mornings we stay home, because we normally get out to go to yard sales or such in the summer time.  But all week I have been thinking about staying home and getting caught up on getting some computer stuff done and just relaxing.  Actually going to read some more of my book in a little bit.

I have added a whole batch of new links here this morning that I have been collecting for weeks now I have been finding some new places that I just love.  Several are very inspirational for home decorating and I can just sit  and gaze at the pictures for what seems like hours. Kinda like I do my country magazines. Which I need to go through and dispose of some, and organize the others.  That has been on my to do list for awhile.  I might actually do it tonight while watching tv. 

While I sitting here this morning and cruising the net I found many things that I would love to do....but when I saw this I new I needed to do these things first, so that I will not forget what it is I would like to do.    First, I think I need to create myself a mood board.  Do you know what a mood board is?  It is a board that you simple put all your loves on.  There are several at Decor 8. As well as create myself a decorating binder.  See this is the kind of things I do when I have time.  I get creative and want to do things.  Guess I could carry this binder a little further and make it my "dream home binder".  How fun is that? 

Well I have been at this computer for awhile now and my phone keeps ringing so think I am going to close it.  Hope you have a wonderful day!

Old Treasures

Good Morning Ladies, Decided I wanted to share a little find I found this weekend at a local antique mall. On the right hand side bar I have a list of treasures that I am seeking. I love to have something to hunt for.

Anyway, for sometime I have been searching for a antique typewriter. Well I found one this weekend, that I just couldn't let get away. I got it for $35 dollars and it is in it's original case. Perfect. Most of them that I have been looking at were $100+. No thanks, can't afford to do that. Anyway, since I have wanted one for awhile, as I am planning to create a little vignette in my 'someday library or office'. to sit amongst all my old books. I have already purchased a antique fan from a yard sale last year. I am hoping to find a little antique telephone while I am out traipsing the country this year. So far I haven't seen anything that has really caught my eye, but looking for something kinda like this. Actually I would like to have something a little older than this particular model, but this would work.

Do you have any little vignettes that you are trying to achieve? Wanna share? I am always looking for ways to incorporate the old with the new. Something about that era is so appealing to me. I have really been gravitating to old housekeeping magazines and articles . I just love the look of them as well as the those old Homekeeping/Homemaking books and especially recipe books. Since I am avid cookbook collector.

Sometimes I get in antique stores and just get lost in another time and place. In the winter months Michael and I hit all the stores in our area, as we both have certain things that we are searching for. I will share more another things another day. But most of the time I spend in them are just like a mini vacation for me. I travel back in time. It's such a cheap form of entertainment, unless your me and usually buy something. Happy Searching!

Blessings!
