when green is all there is to be

and I think it’s what I want to be

it's raining babies

two of the vintage invitations that i used for my bff's baby shower. searching etsy for vintage invitations has made me want to throw tons of parties so i can use all of the cute ones out there - like a coffee talk party or a cookout or maybe just a plain old party full of smiling faces.

to our dad on father's day

happy father's day dad!

(belated because i am a bad blogger...but i did get him this jalapeno tequila because i am a good daughter)

happy easter

and lots of love mommy! xoxo

summer ready

this round bandana tablecloth with ruffle trim would be perfect for a barbeque. i'm ready.

red and white

some vintage linen fabric and cotton ribbon. cute on their own, cuter together!

where does it all go

my current living situation doesn't leave room for many treasures...it's mostly just mikey, me and some clothes. so where am i putting it all? shoved into this bookshelf. that's right - i'm not even using any of this stuff. you can nominate me for hoarders here.

folk explosion

pretty flannel fabric and cotton ribbon

got it

i've favorited a few sets of these on etsy but never actually bought any. like i do with many vintage items that i see online, i told myself that i might one day find these in the wild...and i actually did! that never ever happens! i often snooze on great stuff on etsy with that same logic and it just isn't true - a lot of these things are one of a kind. but this time - it was true. now, what the heck i'm going to do with 30 hex sign coasters?

wishful thinking

i found just the most perfect vintage bean boots that i've been searching for...only 2 sizes too small. rats! i bought them anyway and hope that i can find a friend who can wear them and love them. if not, they are off to the shop. just look at them - perfect, right?

cheer up

man oh man i love the print on this vintage tablecloth that i just picked up.

holidays on ice

i love this cute felt ornament complete with sequin-button stockings and a pair of ice skates!

winter birds

halfway there

i picked up this quilt top at a yard sale. it is super cute and well made - it just needs to be backed. the woman who made it recently passed away and her daughters were cleaning out the family home. so many treasures! she was a lifelong crafter with such great taste.

everything must go

i got a few things from a junk shop that was closing. the picture thing is actually a patchwork christmas ball that you put a photo in the front. adorable.

treasure box

my brother made me this box years ago. it still holds special things, like some costume jewelry from my grandmom and a ring my parents gave me on my sixteenth birthday.

pop bottles

this teeny little tray with bottle and glasses is from my grandmom's house. my sister and i would spend large amounts of every visit pouring everyone a glass.

line and shape

an accordion basket at my parent's house

i heart it

sweet vintage fabric i scored at a thrift store in my hometown.

pongo or perdita?

if i ever make my pet portrait wall, i'm totally stealing this portrait of my great aunt nell's dalmatian that now hangs in my parent's house.
