Scissors...they're not just for cutting....































If you have been around here in my neck of the woods long enough...you know I like to frame just about anything...and call it "art". Awhile back I found several old scissors at a local thrift store. They are small & blunt so I assume they must have been used by children. I thought of little chubby fingers cutting out images and what not. These scissors I am rest assured, made many a art piece over time. I knew than, their true destiny, was framing. A little paper and some frames I already had and they are now indeed framed. Not sure where their home will be but for now I set them next to the sweet nest my son bought me. Just because.
I also found homes for my new glass cloche and white tray I shared in my last post. I found the little white bowl while out and about thrifting. I set some transferware and eggs in it. The little ducklings you see peeking out are actually ones I have had since I was a little girl. My mother always put some kind of Easter glass ware in my basket. I love their simple white goodness. The wreath I got for 2.00...I decided to hang from my mirror with some bird toile ribbon. Last but not least the thrifted wicker shade...another well spent 2.00 at Goodwill. My rooster approves of the change, as do I! Well that is it for me. Happy Weekend! XOXO, Cherry

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

Just a little sharing























EDITED TO ADD STACEY FROM OVER AT http://poofingthepillows.blogspot.com/ TOLD ME IT IS A TART PAN PEOPLE Whoo knew? NOT me! rofl! Thanks Stacey.....

I found this baking scallopy "thing a ma jing" (that is slang for I do not know what the heck it is) out thrifting awhile back and knew it would make the perfect bottom to a cloche. I sprayed it IN my laundry room with black spray paint....yeah I know...FUMES are NOT healthy. It is snowing here people...not prime spray painting season. The real moral here is DO NOT DISMISS the baking section in the thrift stores for decorating gadgets, you just never know. The little birdies on the bathtub were .99 ....soooo tweet. Dotcha think?
Ok...moving along... Our good friend Jean (she does not have a blog yet) who many of you know, wanted a few custom items for her new office area. I was more than happy to oblige. She wanted some initials for her new work area...in blues, creams, and yellows. She is a vintage lover as well so I embellished her letters with some vintage swiss dot fabric and old buttons. I also made her one of my little birdy plaques with a key for a wing. I just thought I would share these projects with ya before I turn in tonight...to go read "the host"..that I am now addicted too. I can hardly lay it down. I guess that is good...because to be down right honest with you...i have not felt like doing a darn thing today....I am having a "Sloth day"...I had more to share..and quite frankly I am lazy. So that is it...nuttin to exciten...but I guess better than nuttin. Yes I really do know how to spell those words. Night night and have a lovely Sunday tomorrow! XOXO, Cherry

Hippity Hoppity...































Easter will soon be on its way! Got some of my Easter decor out...I don't have tons. I admit I am not a big pastel girl. Especially pinks and yellows. LOVE greens & blues. I embraced it as well as I could though. Here is the outcome in this area. Placed my cake stand here for now. I think it will eventually end up in my craft room. My chalk ware duckies needed a little something so I made little Easter greeting tags for their necks. I put my tiny little chalk ware sheep under a little cloche. I love my old Whitman framed print..got it for a whoppin 1.00 at a garage sale...AND the cool thing is I have my Mom's antique Whitman candy tin (you can see it in one of the pics). I moved the SPRING banner in here as well. Well hope to share a few more Easter areas in the next few days. I am off to TRY to finish dear sonny boy's room. "I think I can, I think I can". XOXO, cherry
