Pics of some new market goodies at vintage thymes market this weekend. I love repurposing furniture and old salvage pieces!! For my fellow New Englanders stay safe & warm this blizzard bound weekend!! Xoxo

My New Find/Love.......

Found this a few weeks back at a salvage yard.She needs no introduction...Isn't she beautiful in all her chippy painted splendor?? Ill clean her up and repaint where she needs it and decide whether to keep or to sell. It will be a tough decision....have a wonderful rest of the week blog friends xo

Spaces...In Places........

I was lucky enough to snag a spot in two of the best shops as of January 1st! The first fabulous place isThe Wrentham Country Store owned by Mary Ellen Shia is listed in flea market style as one of the best shops in the country for antique, vintage & repurposed items. I am surrounded by talented women & NICE women. (that counts even more lol! The shop is open 7 days a week & the shop girls are always bringing in new pieces & changing things up. Fabulous things always. I am lucky to be a part of it all.
The other market I am lucky to be a part of is The Vintage Thymes Market located in Norwood Ma.Owned by Robin & nancy this market is open 3 days once a month & has a tremendous following. It was so much fun setting up for this (although a lot of work schleping pieces) I was lucky my wonderful hubby helped me out by taking the day off  and helping. I couldn't have done it without him..he's the best! Posting just a few pics of the space at vintage thymes...will be posting more soon of the wrentham shop! enjoy your weekend blog friends..xoxo

Under The Weather......

How I hate being sick...well, noone likes it but I have a really really hard time resting & keeping still. I like to go at 100 mph all the time so.....I am taking some time off to rest & reccuperate this weekend. Still working on Christmas decor. Mostly done but adding here & there & adding to my shop at the Wrentham Country Store. Taking a bit of a break though all the way around this weekend. Have a wonderful weekend!!! xoxo

Doe A Deer......

Thought this was such a different way to display Christmas on my side door. This Deer Swag Is gives the door a different twist this year and everyone loves it! A few more photos of Christmas decor...this year it seems to be a slow steady process lol, instead of the usual get it all done mind set.

 

 

 

 

 

Have a wonderful Monday!! xoxo

 

 

 

And so it begins........

I've been away to long.....haven't blogged since July & I have missed it & my blog friends. Sometimes there is just NO time to sit, be still & write. So rather than just blabber about nothing & take random pictures just to get a blog post up, I decided to take a looong break & come back when I was ready. I'm ready......

I am just starting my Christmas decorating & am loving the way my mantel came out. This year it is simple simple simple. More on the way later this week. It's not much, but it's a start lol....xoxo

July's Garden..........

herbs & annuals planted in a brimfield purchase

I love my little greenhouse built by my daughters boyfriend

                                                           

this isthe 2nd set of birds to hatch in a favorite topiary

gorgeous wave petunias are always on my to plant list. they are sooooo easy to take care of & I love the way they cascade as they grow.

heart shaped bed planted with purple impatiens near the playhouse. too bad the bunnies are slowly filling their tummies with these tasty blooms. (sorry about the glare)

i love container planting. oops forgot to put the potting soil away!

tj maxx zinc pots planted with herbs (what a great find!)

my darling little grandaughter giana digging for worms in grandmas gardens (loves the worms!)

one of my favorite planters....delphinium with gypsophilia (babys breath) underplanted. this stands in front of the kids playhouse that I just recently changed from pinks & greens to all white with a gorgeous sky blue door.

As the summer moves on, the gardens usually get a little tired looking towards august. I pull out or cut down tired looking plants & supplement with fresher looking annuals, more perennials that will bloom late summer & miracle grow the gardens to death lol! If you do it right the summer gardens will transition right into fall with very little bumps in the road. Hope your summer is going beautifully....xo
