collecting

This picture grabbed my attentions while scrolling through Design*Sponge's before & after section [I love that section by the way - so much talent and vision!]. This is the after of Amy Shutt's home. [by the way she sells Charley Harper in her Day Lab shop ... weeeeee]

This pictuer caught my attention because like most of us - I love collections. The vintage deer items are so lovely! I always kinda wanted to collect vintage planters.

My links got a little wacked on this post - you can find all of these gems at Etsy - Vintage section. Just search planter.

These are creepy + cool + and totally up my alley!

From the Grand Ole Bestiary Etsy Shop!

As I mentioned in a previous post - I painted an old bookcase a tropical blue color this weekend.
I love having new pieces in my house ... I just look at it and smile.
I am slowly basing all of my living room design on these two Beach Boys album covers.
Here's more fun buys to make that happen ... I'm sensing a beach theme these past few weeks.
I can't help it ... I have so.cal in my heart but live in the tundra of no.minn

I'm adding this top because I think it's uber cute and I want to figure out how to make it.

A must visit vintage store if you are in the Twin Cities.

I could get lost in here for hours!

things to go with my new blue bookcase

surfin' superior

I went to the lake yesterday ... the air was warm ... the water was not.

Maybe a month more until it's swimming temp. Nothing BEATS swimming in Lake Superior I tell you! Oh yes, and people really do surf Lake Superior
