Perfume decanters/bottles!

Love the look of perfume decanters/bottles gracing the top of a vanity or table. Have found several of these pretty treasures here and there at thrift-stores. Am also posting a pic of a new fragrance I purchased on a 1/2 off sale at Big-Lots right after the holidays;.....it is called "Malibu" by Pamela Anderson. It is such a pretty scent. Of course my favorite perfume of all time is Ralph Lauren's "Romance". While this is not a thrift-store kind of item, it is one of those exceptions I make to my "buy smart, but thrift" philosophy. I always make sure I have a supply of "Romance" on hand, as evidenced by the pic of all the empty "Romance" bottles. Don't know why, but just can't toss out the empties. :)

Love the look of pretty perfume/fragrance decanters sitting out on a silver tray! Adds a bit of sparkle to the room!

Decanter/fragrance bottles come in a variety of sizes and shapes. Often easy to find at thrift-stores.

"Romance" by Ralph Lauren. My all time favorite fragrance. Can't get enough of it. And for some reason, can't throw out the empties.

Love this scent by Pamela Anderson.

Perfume bottles just look so lovely sitting out.....ready to use.

Here, an array of decanters sit atop a pretty mirrored round tray. (Also found at thrift-store).

Have a wonderful week everyone! 

Romantic Lighting!

Love romantic lighting! Have found some beautiful lamps, globes, shades, etc at thrift stores and flea-markets. Here is a sampling. 

These little lamps cast a soft romantic glow!

Love this pink globe found at a thrift-store in Brookings, Oregon for $1.00.

Found this pretty little lamp with the hanging crystals at the Paris Flea Market!

Love grouping many pretty lamps together. It imbues romance!

View from the hallway.  Lamps, mirrors and book-cases........all from thrift-stores!

Magnet Mania!

Whenever I go thrifting, I keep an eye out for pretty magnets. Here are a few pretty ones (picked up at thrift-stores) that I have placed on the side of the refrigerator in our vacation cottage. 

This little french photo card has a magnet backing. Love this!

Love the beautiful faded colors in this kitty magnet!

An array of pretty magnets!

A favorite Bible verse magnet!

Baby pic in clear acrylic frame magnet.

This little acrylic photo frame magnet has a mini pic of my parents in it. Love!

Used little clear magnets to hold up this pretty Washington Monument photo card!

Happy Valentine's Day All!

Love, Love, Love Valentine's Day! In light of this romantic day,.......enjoy these pics of my favorite hearts....found at either thrift stores or flea-markets. 
 

Purchased this little empty pink box for .25 cents and absolutely love the sentiment! 

It looks so pretty on my vanity holding a bit of jewelry! 

 

My sweetheart chair. An all time favorite piece of furniture!

Bought this little heart necklace at a thrift store in Eureka for .75 cents. Love it!

A heart shaped crocheted  pillow found at the bi-annual street fair in my area.

These are my favorite heart earrings. I have had them for years and years!

Love these little pink heart earrings too!

I made this little heart pillow for my new grand-niece. The lace heart was a piece I cut out from a nightgown that I bought at thrift store for $1.00. Didn't like the nightgown but knew that the lace heart in the back would make a pretty  pillow.

The embroidery thread I purchased at thrift store for .25cents to make the pillow above.

What is Valentine's Day without a little romance! Bought this print at a thrift store a few years ago. Love it!

My Sweetheart! (Wedding day 1980)

And of course Valentine's day just wouldn't be quite right without a lot of pink flowers!

Finally, my favorite heart is not from a thrift store or a flea-market but from the HEART! My mama made this heart for me years ago using a scratch-art technique on printed tin. My mom is in a nursing home now, and I miss her so, but this heart makes me think of her!

Amy Lou Sweater

I just found this sweater (brand new w/tags) at the Salvation Army. It seems like wonderful quality. I have never heard of the brand Amy Lou, but looks like it's not American, as it was priced in Euros.

Nice Quality

Pretty pattern on both of the sleeves makes it unique

Received 3 compliments on it! =)

Vintage clothing racks to inspire!

Today we are having new hardwood floors installed in our guest room/Catherine's old room. It was the only room in the house that didn't have hardwood. Had to take everything out of the room including the pretty vintage clothing. While the workers are here, I put the racks in the family room. Love how they add to the vintage feel of the room. I won't leave them here, but they are fun to look at for now. All of these vintage clothes were found at thrift stores or flea-markets.

Fantastical Jewelry

Here is a new necklace I got a couple of months ago.  It seems fantastical.  I love it!  You never know what you'll find!
