Wild about satin hangers! (new ones)

Over the week-end, I found more pretty satin hangers for .25 cents @ piece. One of the beautiful things about thrifting, is that you can come home with treasures for less than $1.00. Where else can you do that? 

Have quite a collection now. Pink, blue, green, cream, flowered. etc. 

Love this little set of pink checkered baby hangers. 3 for $1.00. 

Makes walking into my laundry room (or walking past the laundry room) a delight!

Linen Euro Shams!

Found these pretty rose printed euro shams at the flea market for $4.00 @ piece. What a bargain! It is so fun to have a variety of pillow covers/shams to switch out when you feel like it. Love these!

These euro-shams are by Ralph Lauren, but blend in nicely with my shabby chic pieces.

The petticoat pillow is one of my core pieces. This was a Christmas gift a few years ago from my hubby! 

I love to pile up pillows almost anywhere! 

Little wooden "odds & ends" box!

Over the week-end, went to a monthly flea market that I never miss. Purchased this little shabby chic wooden box for odds & ends! Love the shabby blue paint color. Will settle on a place for this somewhere! 

Love this little shabby painted box!

May use it on entry way table  for cards, mail, etc.

Also makes a nice little container for candles!

Shabby but charming!

I have a lot of blue in my family room, so it just may end up here for odds & ends! 

Have a great week everyone!

Window Box Planter Stands (now living room side table).

Years ago, I purchased some black stand alone window box stands at  a thrift store. Yesterday, I  painted them out white, brought them indoors and added a marble top to make a narrow side table for the living room. Love how it turned out. A nice little change to my living room for the new year!

Little shelves on the bottom are nice for books/magazines.

The marble goes nicely with the vintage mirrors!

Love the designer dress details of the back of my slipcover. Had this made several years ago after finding a pic of a similar one in a magazine. Have wrapped some white sheets around the back cushions to save on frequency of dry-cleaning.

Another view from the hallway!

Pink flowers reflected in the mirror!

Realized after looking at the photo, that everything except the slipcovers & a few pillows came from thrift-stores. Mirrors, lamps, tables, marble, candles, trays, books, vase etc....... Love thrift-store finds.

Pink GUESS Shirt

I was so happy to find this GUESS shirt.  I'll probably wear it with both leggings and jeans like in the pictures here.  It's also really nice because you can take off or leave on the belt for a different look.

Vintage Thrift-store Suit-cases for Decor!

I have found some pretty vintage suit-cases in thrift stores. The ones I have purchased sit on top of my two armoires. I also have a large suit-case that was my grandfathers.(Catherine's great grandfather). He used this suitcase (pictured below) when he traveled from the old country (Norway) to the USA many years ago. Love this suitcase and the story behind it.

The large suit-case on the left was my grandfathers. He brought it to USA on a a ship from Norway.

Love the vintage flair of old suitcases.

The little case on the left is actually a doll's case. The one on the right is also a small doll case.

Like the blue-suitcases in the family room! Love a bit of blue!

The perfect item(s) to place atop an armoire!

An added bonus is that they are nice for storage!

A Blessed New Year to all!

2014 is here. Catherine and I have so enjoyed sharing our blog with you. We were so happy to learn yesterday that we have had close to 7,000 views since we began just a short time ago. We hope that the new year brings much love, joy and peace to you and yours. We are hoping to share many more pics of our thrift-store and flea market finds during the coming year. And of course, watch for lots of pics of pink roses and peonies! Happy Thrifting!

Catherine & I wish that every hope of yours does indeed come true. Happy New Year!

My favorite vintage ephemera (found at thrift-store). 
Gud, som boer i Himmelen, give Eder Lykke paa Eders Vej, og hans Engel ledsage Eder!  Tob. 5, 24
Scripture verse in Danish: God who dwells in heaven, give you happiness in your way, and his angel accompany you. 

Purchased this beautiful vintage garland at thrift store for $1.00. Just couldn't pack it away for the season. Draped it around the chandelier above our dining table. So so pretty! 

Hoping for a year filled with lots of pink roses!

Jesus is the reason for the season! Have a blessed new year!
