Spring Break Fun and Goodies...





















































Hi there...sorry I had no clue I would be gone so long! Spring Break hit and other misc. things in life came up and once again I am behind blogging. I wanted to share a few items I found the last couple of weeks....thrifting and clearanced out in some of my fave haunts. White tray from Target in clearance section. The tall glass cloche type thingy is from Tj's. The rest is thrifted from Goodwill. The matelasse shams are Restoration Hardware...2.99 for the pair...also some white pottery to add to my growing collection. My FAVE find though is the Waverly Ticking shower curtain (Target still carries it for a mere 32.99) I got mine for a mere 4.99...WHAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Cleaned her up and ironed it. Hung it today and did some cleaning in the bathroom. Thought I would share a few pics of it clean and primped a bit.
Also a few family pics of sonny boy and the dog....on our outing to the Oregon coast. Surf, sand, and clam chowder. Great combo. We flew son's kite for the first time...what childish fun! I threw in a few pics of a special order NEST banner I did for someone and a little tag I made last night. I have so much fun making these banners. Anyways that is all from me. I really over did it with the cleaning...please no snickers...I am exhausted. I have a few more orders to get done....so off to work I go again. As always XOXO, Cherry

    Welcome back! You were missed! More great ideas...that is one of the reasons that you were missed. I never thought to put Q-tips in an old china pitcher...that is one I will do. I also really like the shade of paint in your bathroom. The gold looks good in there with your shower curtain purchase. Truthfully, I like all of your new finds. Good looking guy on the beach, too.

    Hi Cherry :)

    Those pics make me miss the beach!

    You found some really great deals! I went to the Goodwill here and it's awful. Either 400 bloggers live in my area and cleaned it out before I could get there or no one is giving up their stuff... grrr...

    xo,

    I loved your header first... then I knew I was really hooked when I spied the Wedgewood Edme platters hanging on your wall. I have the same pattern in a 12 piece place setting. Your decorating is wonderful... I'll be back again for sure.

    Thanks for sharing your wonderful pictures. I love everything and am ready to move it. I need to ask a question:

    Who makes the scalloped chip board you use for your hanging banners?

    Curious crafter's need to know!

    Thanks, Nancy

    I've been looking for that particular scallop punch and can't find it. Did you order it from a stamp company?
    Thanks,

    Everytime I visit your blog I get all giddy inside and so inspired to decorate. You have just a lovely way of putting things all together. I also love the colors you choose for accents. Very serene and classy. Now what color are your bathroom walls? I wrote down the color you told me before, however I cannot find it....sad face and pouting lips...

    Have a Happy Easter!
    All of your pictures are just too cute!!!!
