What would we do...

without paint???

Well, for example, we would have a sturdy-oak-round

pedestal-boring table....

Instead of a fab-chic-stylish

gotta-have-it table!!

Isn't paint wonderful?

White Wednesday

Yes Ladies, it's hard to believe but it's already Wednesday...time to show some whites!

Today is all about white pottery...

From collectible McCoy to unmarked beauties, Clara loves them all!

The only requirement: it has to be white!

Inside the china cabinet...

and on top of it...

Holding succulents in Spring,

and pumpkins during Fall...

Clara's collection is always growing because she rarely leaves a Flea Market without first adopting a "new" piece.

Now you know one more thing that makes my Sissy's heart skip a beat!

Before you leave us to visit all the White Wednesday participants, don't forget that today is the last day to enter our Giveaway, click HERE for a chance to be the lucky winner!

Food for thought....

At this very moment, you may be saying to yourself that you have any number of admirable qualities.
You are a loyal friend,
a caring person,
someone who is smart,
dependable,
fun to be around.
That's wonderful, and I'm happy for you, but let me ask you this:
are you being any of those things to yourself?

Junkin' Monday #7

These two mommas had a very busy weekend. Lots of driving to tests, volunteer commitments, Homecoming game and Dance, plus a very early morning spent at the wet and cold soccer field. So the Junkin' Gods rewarded us with a short but always inspiring trip to one of our favorite antiquing spots, Country Roads in Orange, CA where we were able to find some "Need" and some "Want" pieces...

The Needs are:
A coffee table that we will use in the Family Room Makeover we are working on...
Great lines, perfect size, not too deep just like we needed it...

Not the best picture, garage lighting not cooperating!
It will be painted and lightly distressed to show the yellow paint underneath...

The second Need:

Some vintage bottles soon to be altered and delivered to The Cottage in Laguna Beach...
Love making these!

Now the Wants:

A large, vintage Open sign.
I bought it with my kitchen in mind, but I think it will be living in our family room. Love the bold letters, the chippy paint of course and the black trim...

And the last Want is this cute adorable pair of shoes for Clara's collection...

As you know, she has LOTS of them, but this is the first pair with "platforms"...CUTE!!!

How's that for a short trip?

Now it's your turn...show us your weekend treasures...
Link and visit..
Inspire and be inspired!

Where did the weekend go???

We have no idea...it just escaped us...


We will be posting our Junkin' Monday, a little later than usual on Monday morning.
We hope you'll come back and join us because although the weekend was crazy, we managed to do some treasure hunting and we'd love to share it with you!

See you a little later!
