Mini crate makeover

I found this cute little crate at the Goodwill and while it is not from France I still thought
it would be cute fixed up. It started out a grayish/ blue color and it just didn't do anything
for me so I gave it a light gray/white paint makeover and then rubber stamped it with a script
design. I do like it much better this way. :)

I grabbed a handful of lilacs yesterday and brought them inside to showcase the mini crate.

This little crate can be such a versatile piece. It can be used for flowers or you can put glassware in
it, drinks, silverware etc. The sky is the limit. { I was too lazy to put any actual food or drink in today}

I found six of these glass pieces at the Goodwill the last time I was there. They are marked
 Ikea and made in Italy on the bottom. I paid 55 cents each so I think I got a bargain. :)



I so want some white lilacs and we did plant a bush about two or three years ago, but so
far no flowers. This year it looks like it MIGHT have one flower on it. I sure hope
 it flowers more next year.



I hope you enjoyed my lilacs today. Can't you just smell them? I went out on the back porch
this morning and was hit with their fragrance as soon as I opened the door. Scrumptious!!

Linking up with White Wednesday over at Faded Charm today.

Paris,France,Italy...

I had an ah ha moment when I found
these cute small vintage cards.
They only measure approx. 1 and 5/8 inches
x 2 inches each and I love the small size!

So many of us dream of going to Paris,

France, Italy... These will take you there in spirit.

They are now listed in my Etsy store.

Enjoy and Happy Monday!

Blessings~

Breathtaking Images ~

I just had to share these gorgeous images with you.
I purchased these from Eva last week and I think
that I will be heading up there again
tomorrow and dig around for some more treasures.
My husband may be working tomorrow for the first time in months,
so that is a good thing. When I go to Eva's antique store he tells people
that I went "to a store that is dusty and has a basement full
of thousands of books that smell that way too"...
lol...he doesn't share my desire to rescue what I can before she closes,
but he is always my biggest fan no matter what I do.

I wanted to make these images high resolution , but my
computer is on another slow streak today so I had to settle for
lower resolution. I do hope you enjoy them anyway.
Have a wonderful day! Blessings~
