CURVE BALL....

Just when you think you've got everything figured out...life throws you a curve ball! Just letting you know I'm going through some personal issues so if I'm a little lax in blogging I hope you understand! In the interim...enjoy some beautiful decor!

De-FUNKtiFING the FUNK....

Okay, so the best way to get out of a FUNK, especially if your a junker, is to approach it head on...that means AUCTION TIME BABY!

There's an auction tomorrow night....not a fabulous one...but one that, perhaps, will get me out of my FUNK and back into JUNK heaven. Here are some pics of the auction...again, not fabulous but something that may get me in gear!

This yellow wall shelf is fabulous....oh, please I need it...I'm going to tell everyone (because we are all friends) that I need it to get me out of my FUNK! Yeah, right like that will work!

This green little cabinet is better in person...

Okay, do I need to say more....if I get this it is going in my powder bathroom in my new house!

Lots of quilts....

I just thought these little rabbits were cute....

Hats...tons of Hats!

Love this pic...screams shabby!

This pic was pretty awesome as well...has a felt surround...really old!

Two mannequin heads....

Cute little child's rocking chair...

My plan this weekend is to head to my neglected booths and do a complete revamp....it takes so long but it really helps sales!

What are your plans....anything fun?

BTW...its snowing again. In Virginia we hardly EVER get snow...did I hear someone say "global warming"?

IN a FUNK to JUNK.....

Say WHAT? Can IT be TRUE?

Yes, for about a month now I've been in such a FUNK...no auctions, excursions to antique stores, JUST NOTHING....hence, no postings! BUT, I do hope you had a wonderful Christmas and New Years!

To make matters worse, I've not even been to my booths for about a month and a half...I have lots of stuff sitting here that needs to go but there's no mo' in my joe'!

So I started pursing your blogs and magazines to see if would give me some umph...and lo and behold I think these pics helped me.

Do you ever get that way? Perhaps I have SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) because it gets dark so early and its ever so chilly...

Hope your having a good day!

Holiday De-Stressers.....

Are you stressed out from the holidays...too much to do with too little time?

If you can, try to relax and enjoy the season...just remember, the best part of the holiday season is to spend time with family and friends!

Here are some pics that will hopefully help destress you...I know it did me!

Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow.....

Oh, the weather outside is frightful.....

We are still digging out

from 2 feet of snow that fell from Friday night

until late yesterday afternoon!

It's sooo beginning to look like Christmas!!

But, I still need to do Christmas shopping...so, I've gotta start digging out

so my sleigh (that would be my blue truck above...its really my antiquing sleigh) can get to the mall!

New House....New Decor!

I've noticed that my decorating style has been evolving for the past couple of years. Instead of darker colors I've moved to a more neutral palette giving the laid back relaxed feel that I love.l. My current home has a different vibe in every room..some with darker colors others that have the cottagey feel. This change to a more neutral tone was subtle... but looking at the items I've purchased for my home over the last couple of years it definitely showed that it either had to have chippy paint or rust. With that mind, I've been trying to determine paint colors and furniture for my new house. So, I've been searching ya'lls blogs and several different magazines to get a sense of what I want my new house to look like...now keep in mind, this house is new...and, I've not lived in a new house for years so I've got to give it the look of an old house...that means obtaining some great architectural pieces to set the tone! Here are some pictures that I love and am using for my theme.

Next, I'll show you some paint colors I'm thinking about using in my living room...the painter is coming on Monday so I better get cracking and make the final decision...BUT, its soooo HARD! Anybody have a good paint color to share with me?
