Thrifty Stuff

I took a little trip to one of my favorite junk haunts on Friday, not really looking for anything in particular...when all of a sudden, I spotted this old window screen.  I had been wanting one for a while, but, had never ran across one.  I got so excited to see this baby....in all of its chippy goodness! 

I decided to pair (or triple) it up with my old round mirror and my recently found vintage marriage certificate!

The box holding it all up is an old cabinet re-faced with a frame I found on e-bay a while back.  It holds a few of my Marys.  And can't forget Mr. Chicken lamp and my metal rack holding shiny stuff. 

All which sits a top of my vintage wicker table I got for 40.00 at another haunt!!!  I topped it all off with a length of burlap hanging from a rod suspended from the ceiling, (where my tapestry was hanging).  Oh, it all is flanked by 2 vintage columns given to me by a friend. 

I wish I could take down the 70's mirrored wall....but, Iam scared of what I'll find back there!!!!  Oh great!  Just ignore the hands and arms!!!

THE BIG ONE

My husband.....the Great White Hunter...has not got one this season.  Thank goodness this is the last week.  Maybe, just maybe, I can get him to do a few things around here. (yea right).  Anyway, since I had gotten used to the idea of having a live-dead animal hanging over my fireplace, I decided to take matters into my own hands.  I was shopping around in a small shop the other day and low and behold, this puppy was just waiting for me to bring him home! 

I could not leave without him!!  He is made from (I think) sheet metal and tack welded together.  Cool huh?  I guess the Great White Hunter will have to wait till next year and shoot for a real one.  I just hope it has horns!!

My Problem

I....have a problem.  At least thats what my family tells me.  But,  as we all know..some folks just don't get it!  I NEED to have a cozy environment, other wise I would probably go nutty.  There are 2 or 3 styles of decor I have fell for, and I have tried to combine them all in 1 house.  I am constantly moving and changing and purging.  The only thing is, although purging is a good thing, I always replace with other things.  Its a constant rotation untill I get just the way I want it.  But, do we ever get it just the way we want it?  There is always something we (I) just haft to have!

My family calls me a hoarder...But, they have never seen those hoarding shows on TV.....so, Iam not a hoarder.  Over the years, I have had several different styles of decor, such as Traditional, Asian, Cutesie country, French County......untill recently, I have settled on this combination of French Farmhouse Junk Style..for the lack of a better title. 

What it really is, a combination of all the stuff I like..mixed and definately NOT matched.  Just stuff.

This area is in a addition to the house..we just call it the Sunroom,  I found the vintage glider in a junk pile, and fixed it up. 

This is a wall in my Kitchen..see what I mean?  Just a mismash of styles.

No matter what it is called...I just love it!! 

What would you call it??  I would LOVE to know!!!

When Is Enough....Enough???

Hey everyone! I was looking around the house and rearranging and deleting some stuff, and decided to show you all my collection of Milk Glass for White Wednesday..Night that is.  I started collecting milk glass a few years ago..lost interest and got rid of most of it.  My Grandmaw passed several years ago and I ended up with a few pieces of hers, so I started it up again.  I pick it up here and there, but it varies so much in price..kinda crazy really.  I think Iam crazy for having so much of it..I can't stop.

                                      See, told ya!!!
