Adiction......

 I know a lot of you have lots of different collections as do I.  I love everything I collect, it makes me happy seeing them around the house.  My question is, can we ever have to many?  How often do we  come to a point where we just know it's enough and stop or when we come upon "one more", do we just have to have it?  That, my dears is the million dollar question!  ( In reading this back, it sounds so serious but in reality, it's just a bit of fun pondering)! 

For me, there are those things that I can say OK, enough but then there are others that I just can't pass up!

Do I need therapy, do I need to go to rehab, or do I just need to go cold turkey?  Or, should I just shake it off and enjoy the things I love that make a house my home!

Till next time........

Sarah's Summer House........

One of my favorite designers on HG TV is Sarah Richardson.  I love everything she does. The choice of colors, the fabrics, the furniture and accessories she uses are just perfect!  Her designs are so classic yet casual and timeless.  This summer she redesigned her family's summer cottage on their own island.  Her husband had bought it during his "bachelor" days and it was time for a update.  In case you missed it, here are the after photos!  

It's definitely my idea of the perfect "summer cottage"!

I don't know about you, but once I got there, I would never want to leave! 

Till next time......

Hidden Treasures, Hilton Head Island.......

While visiting my BF in Statesboro a couple of weeks ago, we went thrifting to one of our favorite places, Hilton Head Island!  I know, thrifting on Hilton Head is not something you would normally think of when you think HHI, but OMG, I'm going to let you in on a little secret!  They have the BEST Thrift stores there, and lots of them!  And, best of all, the cheapest prices ever!  Not only are you in one of the most beautiful places, you get to find cool stuff!  The sad part was we didn't have a lot of room to so we couldn't bring a lot back.  VEry sad!!  Maybe next time, I'll get a truck,  it's that good!  Here are a few of the things I did bring home!

Everything at this store was half priced so that made this tureen only $2.50

These cook books were also half price so they were $1.50 each

Brown transferware platter was $3.00

Candle holder, $1.00

This was $2.00

This was $2.00

 Ironstone platter, $2.00

This little picknic basket, $2.00

Little red bucket,  .50 cents

This was $3.00

Now, I'll show you what we didn't bring home and we were verrrry sad!

Can you guess the price?

This cabinet was fabulous and the price, (don't cry, we did) was only $299.00!

Would it not be gorgeous painted black or white!

This lantern was pretty big, fabulous in a dining room or entryway, looked like it came right out of a Restoration Hardware catalog!  Big difference, it was only $69.00!

Are you as sad as we were?

Till next time.......

Mapquest......

I have loved maps for a long time.  They are interesting, have wonderful colors and shapes.  After my Aunt in Palm Desert CA passed away a few years ago, I was helping my Mom clean out her house and in an old metal cabinet in the stroage room, I found a whole drawer full of old vintage maps from the 60's.  There were old ones of California,  Palm Springs, Orange County and lots more!  My Mom, (she doesn't get it), wanted me to throw them all out!  No Way, they came home with me!  As of yet I have'nt done anything with them, but I did get some great ideas from these photos on pinterest.

Are you inspired?
They have really inspired me!

 Now,  all I have to do is figure out where to hang this amazing  map of Nashville I found at the flea!

Till next time......
