~ Shop Update: Retail Therapy ~

When I finally get a room in my house looking like I want it to, I tend to leave it alone.  So the great thing about having a shop is that I can change it every week.  As a matter of fact, I can't stand to have it looking the same for more than a month at a time.  Here's a peek at how it looks now.

I love these antique Swedish pressed botanicals. 

Check out some pretty inspiration pictures [here].

For some people it's shoes.  For me, I can't get enough silver.  

I have to admit that I have become somewhat obsessed with shopping for the store lately.  It's so much fun to find that unexpected thing.

Yesterday I picked up this seaman's trunk shipped by C.T. Slack on the Railway Express in 1945. 

With a little elbow grease and some vintage casters, this is going to be an amazing coffee table. 

Please be sure to check out the blog for One of a Kind Shoppe [here].  We will be having our first give-away in a couple weeks. 

Have a great weekend!

~ Just Because ~

I found two totally shabby chic medicine cabinet fronts and knew they would be great for the shop. The only problem is that my scathingly brilliant idea for how to convert them into something fabulous isn't quite working out the way I expected.

So, I'm taking a break to regroup. I picked these pictures just because they're pretty.

And I can't resist shabby book pages right now. I've been collecting them for the shop.

I hope you have a good week.

Bloom where you are planted.

You will find your way.

Be what you are, at it's best.

Happy weekend.

~ Happily Ever After ~

There is something about these spaces that makes me believe in "happily ever after."

Downsizing looks really good!

Happy weekend.
