A little shabby a little romantic..

I made two of these beautiful jewelry holders this morning. I salvaged some old china plates, one small and one large, and placed them between a silver candle holder. I just think the result is lovely.There is just something about rummaging and thrifting and putting together a creation. Old things gaining new life.

Oh little too shabby chic but oh so sweet...

This sweet tiny house was featured in the NY Times a few weeks ago. What a great idea! A small place for one to just get away and read a book. Owner Sandra Foster renovated this beautiful Victorian style tiny cottage for only $3,000. Full of gingerbread, chandeliers, old books, and rose printed china, this tiny cottage is a calm and romantic secret in the Catskill forests.

The article is a great read, describing the very unique couple who owns this cottage and a 1971 trailer on the same property. A playful description of a cougar's nest and a man cave.
