"Afternoon Delight"

 A beautiful shop

I want this table...please

I've got the blues

Beautiful old (blue) doors

     A destination drive thru the beautiful Santa Ynez Valley...lunch on the open patio area at Paninos and wishing I could take these beauties home. 

     It was a very nice Sunday afternoon indeed...

"Here He Comes...Walking Down The Street"

     Here he comes walking down the street...well not actually walking but trust me I needed help getting this piece home.

     And if you have ever priced these beds before they can be quite pricey indeed. They come in many different styles and colors too. Personally I like mine best because I only paid $15 (now that my friend is a fraction of the retail price) and a want fulfilled too.

     Until next time happy collecting, thrifting and seeing your vigilance pay off...

 Long drive home

 It's huge and heavy too

(hello Rita...can you help and put the camera down please)

I'm waiting...

Let's try this way...of course

"There's No Place Like Home"

No matter the style...

(humming)...be it ever so humble there's no place like home

A favorite room to relax

A treasured gift I won from The House of Belonging

Many collectibles...

Always old mixed with new

Thanks for dropping by...my home. Until next time happy collecting, thrifting and living in your 'home sweet home.'

"A Home Run or Bust"?!?

     Okay..I'm just putting this "post" out there and perhaps you can help me decide...if this find is a home run or bust? While on a Sunday evening drive I found this...

Queen size tufted fabric headboard

     and thought it'd look great paired with....

crisp white bed linens

     plus...

multi colored throw

     and...

throw pillows

     It's a definite stretch from my typical color palette in my home but I thought I could use it in a spare bedroom or put it up for sale. It's not blue or white but it has this tangerine color and 70's sway that was just calling my name...Rita buy me!

     So I spent the $15.00 and if it doesn't work out...the money spent goes towards a boys group home. So what do you think? Bust or home run? Actually I like it! 

     Until next time happy collecting and thrifting...

So, if you have been searching for an old crescendo to grace your home or special event look no further. Please leave a comment and I will promptly answer all your questions.

     Until next time...let the searching begin...again.  Also, a big thank you to my husband for always willing and available to help me get these items home.
