a great day of junking ....

it's pictures like this that inspire me to continue to look for treasures ... simple, eclectic, serene, one of a kind items for the home ... especially after 7 hours of digging, unburrying, and hauling a truckload of "great junk" from a less than undesireable location.



... today has simply been an amazing day of junking. i never know when i am going to find great stuff ... i just get out there and one thing leads to another and before long, i find a pile. in todays case, i filled my tahoe and then had to call my husband for support and he brought his big truck and we filled it to the brim. i am exhausted and i can't sleep ... my mind is racing with ideas and a long list of things i need to create.

great junk makes great art

does this just give you a million ideas ... absolutely love this ... just plain fun and cool.

trophy cups, alabaster, antlers and ironstone ....

.... need i say more?

I will be there ... with lots of goodies

amongst all the craziness of getting the kids ready for school on Monday, a huge soccer tournament this weekend and organizing and cleaning the house so that we can find the lost set of keys to my sons car ... i am going to be at the market this weekend. Don't know how i am going to do it, but i am going to try ... the weather looks great so please stop by ... Sunday, August 29th ... early buy is at 8:00am and regular admission is at 10:00 am. directions are posted on www.sandpointantiquedesignmarket.blogspot.com

pure love

a winning color combination

i am in the process of picking new colors for the inside of our house and these two photos are my current inspiration and obsession. i especially love the color combination in the bedroom. The taupe, white and that little touch of french blue are truly an amazing combination.

one of my favorite pictures

i love the old cabinet/bookcase full of antique apothecary jars and old botanical prints, the black chair with the tied on hemp slipcover and the zinc dolly tubs (i have two of these myself that i absolutely LOVE and won't be selling) ... and just that hint of gold with guilded french chair ... perfect.
