fat tuesday!

It's Fat Tuesday...Do you partake?

We definitely do.  I promised Henry a meaty, cheesy calzone for dinner.

And we'll indulge in tasty dessert as well...maybe cupcakes.  We'll see what the day brings.

I picked up some vintage pink pillows last weekend, a chenille blanket...

and an old, wire egg basket.  I love scouring for vintage finds on cold, February days.  It makes the gray days a little brighter!

And so does she...

It's hard to believe that last year at this time we were waiting to meet her.

I thought she'd never come...just as I doubted that spring would as well.

And now she's 6 weeks or so shy of turning 1!

Edith Rose, what would we do without you?  You are so loved.

opening soon...

I've loved vintage for years.  Long before it was "in".  I love to re-purpose old, found things.  And I love the hunt of finding vintage objects...the hope that stirs inside as I walk inside a little antique shop or garage sale.  The excitement I feel, the giddiness before going to a big sale or flea market...Do you know it?  Anyone else relate to this?

So I've decided to open another etsy shop.  Smilin' Moon Vintage is my new little shop.  Soon to be stocked with sweet, found things from the past. 

Some pieces will be sold as they were found...others will be livened up with chippy paint or reinvented as something sweet and purposeful.

 If all goes as planned, my new little shop will open on Monday!

And in other news...I have several soon to be finished pieces going to my smilin' moon art shop!

Like this vintage tray that I painted...it still needs some work, but it'll be done soon, too!

And now I'm off to finish gingerbread houses with the kids!

xxoo
