Well, honestly all I can say is Brimfield Antique Week was CRAZY NUTSO from just about every aspect! Sometimes it was hilarious, sometimes painful, stressful, exhausting, ridiculous, and sometimes a bit of good plain fun. Plus I got to see one of my pals who lives in Boston which in and of itself made the trip worthwhile.

vacation!!! Sanibel Island, FL
Every March I like to sneak in some beach vacation time! It feels so good to get a dose of sunshine and relax after a long winter! This year my dear friends invited me along to Sanibel Island-what a beautiful place! Shells and birds galore! The beach looked like the remnants of a natural history museum, it blew my mind. We saw some super awesome birds including the elusive roseate spoonbill, all different kinds of herons, pelicans, egrets, ibis, on and on. Get aload of the pic of the osprey below! I was crouched below him and able to get this ridiculously awesome shot of him clutching a freshly caught fish! I added some great things to my little wonders collection and even managed to look up in time to snag the pic of our shadows as we walked!

color of the month- A Grey Winter Day
February feels very grey to me. While we’ve had a fair amount of sunlight I’m really really missing green grass, leafy trees, and other plants and flowers. I’m ready for Spring and color! Everyone I talk to seems to feel the same way, I don’t know how many people have told me that February feels like the longest month ever. Time to embrace the grey feeling with some vintage housewares for a neutral, vintage, and yet modern look.
The Pies the Limit!
color of the month- Winter Blues
The holidays are over and the wait for Spring is on. If you are gonna have the winter blues have them this way! There’s just something about this color and the snow that makes it even more crisp and clean and refreshing than it already is! Plus it gives me a chance to bring out some of my favorite blue items from my personal collection, like the tea pot salt and pepper shaker holder and the budget balancer box! And just look at that elephant tea pot by Shawnee! SO cute, and available soon!!!
I’m telling you, melmac is a gift. The easiest way to change a table out, besides the obvious tablecloth, is to have a stash of melmac for all seasons! Easy to stow away in a box without having to worry about breakage and available in so many colors and designs! You can snag these and other items on the table in my vintage shop http://www.vintagegoodies.etsy.com . Plus you can search my shop using the word blue to find other great winter blues items! And last, but certainly not least, my artgoodies ring towel shines on in this table setting! Don’t you just love a monochromatic setting, so easy to mix and match all kinds of items together!!!
