Glory B's Cottage

When I program my GPS for
shabby chic the car heads straight
for Glory B's.
On my last visit to her wonderful
shop in Geronimo,TX
I took a few pictures with
WHITE WEDNESDAY in mind.

Boy would I like to hit the estate sales with her!

Faded Charm has the list of those sharing
old, chippy, tattered, crusty & worn
to perfection vintage white.

What's on your hat?

~~Charming cameos~~
Whether worn as a bracelet...

Brooch or necklace...

or even as a hat pin,
they add an air of elegance.

So now we jump from elegance
to a WaCkY fun
RUBY TUESDAY


No mistaking whose room this is...
Baby Cat-in-the-Hat!
Or would that be
Kitten-in-the-Mitten?

I wonder if the Cat ever used a hat pin?

Blue & Yellow Monday

My little bluebirds have a message on this
BLUE MONDAY

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

I love books and this room just
seems to say...
Come on in through the yellow door
and explore!

And what could be more cheery than
a bright yellow pantry where everything
is labeled and ready to make something
delicious.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Final thought...how else could
MOSAIC MONDAY to celebrated?
but by BLUE & YELLOW together

(enlarge to be thrilled by that dragonfly dressed just for today)

Monday memes to visit and join in the fun...

Just LION around Tuesday...

A whole bunch of 2nd hand stuff lion around
on this 'new to me' shelf.
Need: shelf to hold stuff.
Solution: 1x8x10' board at the thrift store $1.

It didn't concern me that it had nail holes all along
both sides and a nice 5" size round hole cut out.
I had the brackets from a previous thrift purchase
just waiting in the garage.

A little sanding and a little stain...perfect!
Look up...see the nail holes?

Looked all over the house for
the right thing to fill the gap.

Any volunteers?

Yes, and he was a perfect fit!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Now I ask you...
can a girl have too many plates or
too many little oil lanterns?
Or too many shoes,
for that matter?

VintageTextile.com has a nice selection of
Victorian styles.

I didn't really understand this one above...
Gentleman's slipper? Do you really think
a guy wore those?



And you can't get any more elegant
than these string of pearls.

But for me, I guess I'm a
leopard and mink kind a girl
because these are my favorites.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Now for the part where I am just
lion around...see? right past the flowers.

I told you...it's just lion around Tuesday!

Have some time to do a little visiting?

Chocolate Blues

Brown & Turquoise Beads
I bet they make the nicest little tinkle with movement.

Jody of Because I'm Me does some wonderful things
in the quilting world...not to mention this fabulous mosaic.

Mosaic Monday at Mary's
Little Red House


~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~


This kind of elegance just does something to me...
textured variety, I love more...more is better.

Now if I could just wiggle my little nose and
make it happen...my bedroom would be...

There I go dreaming again on this
Blue Monday
And since I have some yellow flowers on my hat
I can join Mellow Yellow Monday

O.K. a little secret...
I'm waiting for the AC repair man and
you know how long that might take.
I just can't keep my mind from wondering...

~Candy~

ps~the chocolate was the rust in the AC unit drip pan in the attic and the blue was the water leaking through the ceiling

A Portrait of Childhood.

"Practice looking not simply at a picture but 'in' a picture," suggests Joe Collins in Images of America, an impressive representation of our photographic history. There one will see, as in this photograph, a mirror of life.
