Things around the house that make me smile....

I'm just walking around the house and looking at things that make me happy.  Do you ever do that?  It's so beautiful outside and the sun shining through the windows (remember I have tons of windows)....just makes everything look even prettier.

It's the little things that make me happy.  Like this little clear glass case so I can easily see my jewelry...

Or, how about the wonderful rust on this jar lid....can't create that.

 I love the look of this shell collecting basket full of vintage jello molds and cutters...
How about a lovely wire basket full of flowers.  My sister gave me this wire basket container and I love it!

The breakfast room table centerpiece full of this and that.
 Little chalkboards I created with  thrift store pictures and frames...


I used photoscape to create a few of the little flowers...



Pretty Pink pillows that I just finished and will be taking to Miss Minnie's...

My dining room wall of mirrors that I have collected over time and still collecting.....


I got a little carried away with the photos and I hope I didn't bore you too much.  Now, I'm going over and check out your blogs and see what pretties you have in store!

Everyone have a lovely weekend and I hope you find or do something wonderful or just spend time with your family.

~~hugs~~

I'm joining the party at Common Ground's Vintage Inspirations!

Hi Sissie...Yes, it is happiness to just at look at our things that bring us pleasure! Special pieces that we have gathered in love and that often bring a memory of a sweet day. I love cleaning my house as when I am dusting I think of it as playing with my things! I love touching my pretty china. lol! When my grands were small they were very good about not touching after I told them they were my "toys" and that I did not sit and play with theirs...

Everything is so pretty and your pink pillows very yummy!

Next month I am venturing into a space in an antique/craft mall. I am doing it with a friend and our tastes are opposite, so this will be very interesting!

Such lovely things in your house. I just love your wall of mirrors, and the pink floral chair.

I do the same thing as you: wander around the house and just look at stuff that makes me happy. It's kind of like shopping in your own house.
