If You Like Displays in Antique Shops

Mr. Romantic payed my decorating skills and off handed compliment ( I don't think he meant it as one) this morning. I was asking him how he liked the new bedroom vanity vingnette I had finished yesterday. He actually said," Fine, if you like displays in antique shops."

Yes, the honest truth is all the time I've been spending in my friend Patrica Mallory's shop, Refind, is rubbing off on me.

The mirror, minature dress form, hand mirror, birdie music box, Seda France candles and room spray all were purchased at Refind. This picture really doesn't do justice to the vingette, I need,Hope, the real photographer in the family.

This vintage sillhoette was the inspiration for the altered prize ribbon.

Me and Mr. Romantic. I just love this antique wicker desk, its so nice and chippy. It came from, you guessed it, Refind.

The typewriter came from a yard sale Pat took Hope and I to.

Just love these salt and pepper shakers! um hum Refind!

The felt strawberry came from Nancy Z.'s booth Sassy Trash at Lakewood 400, the butter pats from Patricia's shoppe, and the angel wings were a gift from her too. I got the idea from a display she had at Refind!

Vintage bow and lace rescued from a dumpster. Pat, my daughter Jennifer, and I braved the perils of a century worth of dust and must to get these beauties!

My version of Dream in Cream's jar full of vintage lace!

All the beautiful eye candy makes me sooooo...

Thanks for all the inspiration Pat!!!!!!!!
