A LITTLE LATE BUT I'M SOOOOO HAPPY

TA DA! One of the cutest things I saw at Christmas time last year was this Book Card Holder that Brenda at Just a bed of Roses made. I finally got it done. The beautiful Rose ribbon and the died binding came from, Just a bed of Roses and the beautiful broach came from Roberts Craft. I am really using it to hold all the cards I've received from blogger friends.

I'M NOT WAITING ANY LONGER

Ok, I've been visiting some blog friends today and it sounds like everyone is so ready for spring. I can't stand the winter anymore - so - I'm not waiting any longer. It is now spring! I did some simple Easter decorating today and brought pastel colors in. I feel like I need to have a party now. I have some glass jars that I like to change with the seasons. The goodies are for all of my grand children. The egg wreath on the door is to let people know that I've had it with winter and it is now spring. Come to my house in a couple of weeks and we'll have southern fried chicken, potatoe salad, devil eggs, hard boiled and colored Easter eggs, and home made coconut cake.

A FEW OF MY FAVORITE GREEN THINGS

Our new green and white shop. Beautiful green bottles. Our children on the green grass at the orphanage in Ecuador. My green accessories in my sewing room. And last, but not least, this very awesome old green desk at the shop. Oh I almost forget, St Patrick's Day goodies for the shop.

LOOKY LOOKY

What do you think of my new shelf, it's in my sewing room? Talk about a great find. I've put some milk glass and some tiny glass salt and pepper shakers in it so far. I will be looking for some, "out of this world" treasures. I'll really be checking all of you talented bloggers out, hoping to find some cool things.

AUNT ELSIE'S TRINKETS AND TREASURES AT GARDNER VILLAGE

I just came back from visiting Denise over at Aunt Elsie's Trinket's and Treasure's at Gardner Village. The shop will no longer be in the little red house on Redwood road and Everybody that loves that little house will be so sad. But everybody that loved the Village White shop at Gardner Village will be happy because that is where we've moved. We don't know what happened to the Village White shoppe but we are sure going to love the space. Who wouldn't love having more square footage, a huge front porch, a pond with real geese out your front door, a bridge and a candy shop to the right of us and Archabalds to the left of us. Oh, and a lot more people traffic.

We are waiting for West Jordan City to come and inspect. After that happens we will be open for business.

I will post the opening here on this blog and also on auntelsie'strinketsandtreasures@blogspot.com.

We look forward to seeing you!

GRANDMA'S ROOM

You might remember that I said that I had an extra bedroom that I'm re-doing in all Vintage. I'm calling the room, "Grandma's Room" because I have several things of my grandmothers that will be in there.

I want to end up with an awesome vintage room. I'm almost sure that I can't accomplish that by myself.

You can see the above pictures of the room. Thing will get refinished and painted. The walls are a soft Tan with white trim and doors, they will stay the same. I am in the process of choosing different whites. The accent colors are, lime green and pink.

So far, their is a twin head board and foot board; a table/vanity; a wall mirror; a chair, a small corner shelf, a small table mirror, a lime green quilt (new), a hand crocheted ecru spread, grandma's jewelry box - aprons - old picture of her and a shadow box with her special things in it, and a new tea set that's lime green, white and pink. Allot of this stuff came from Aunt Elsie's antic shop.

I would love to hear your suggestions as I go!
