I finally got around to having my Shop Banner re-done. I think it turned out great! I mentioned way back here where my inspiration & image came from.
I also decided what to do with the Spoonflower fabric I created{there's a link at the end of this post if you're thinking about making your own fabric}.
I finally picked up my first Head Vase. After years of admiring them I found her at the flea market{and for only $3}looks like this is the beginning of a new collection!

I hold JennyHoliday completely responsible for my obsession with this {eye}candy coated retro decor, her style is a mix of vintage collectibles & sweets.
I bought this Postcard in her Etsy Shop a couple years ago, it's been hanging in my Kitchen ever since{ I attached it to a block of wood & added a hanger to the back}. I've been drooling over her Shop looking forward to adding more of her amazing work to my kitchen walls♥

Flea Market Finds...
I'm always surprised when I stumble onto vintage Syroco frames, and finding three in one day is pretty good! I keep thinking they're can only be so many left in the world, but I'm hoping not to find that out any time soon. I'm getting ready to give them all a face lift, possibly a Chalkboard or just colorful upcycled Mirrors???I also picked up this awesome vintage Lady Baltimore Suitcase. It's going to be beautiful once it gets a good cleaning.
Two things I learned about my puppy this week. 1). He loves to sleep{usually under my feet whether I'm on the computer, doing dishes or sitting on the couch}.
2). He really likes to dig. And he's pretty good at it.
It's cute now but I'm thinking it might not be so cute when he's full grown. Do you let a puppy dig, or am I supposed to keep him from digging????

Short lives...
My kids recently lost two friends, one a 16 year old girl{hit by a car while walking to school} and an 18 year old boy{he took his own life}. Within a month they attended two funerals. Every time I hear this song it makes me think of them and their families. It's a beautiful song, but one that's tough to listen to.
When I start to get irritated at my kids for something they did or didn't do{like my 16 year old who daily sheds his clothes leaving them randomly around the house{the kitchen, living room, the hallway, my room etc...}I think to myself "at least he's here for me to be picking up after". I can't imagine the heartache and sadness their parents must be going through.

I'll get back to posting about a few of my latest thrifting/flea market finds, but this is what's been on my mind lately....

A new member of the family...
This is what I've been up to lately. We just adopted this cute little guy, pretty soon to be a cute BIG guy{he was 12 pounds at six weeks}. He's so sweet, lots of fun{also a lot of work, which=little sleep}. We're slowly settling into a routine, I've actually been able to get some work done but that usually includes him under my feet.
I forgot how much I love puppy breath♥
I picked up a few afghans this weekend at the flea market for his bedding, I think he's happy with them :)
