Tarnished Tuesday..

I love rust..

I love how it gives something that lived look..

I love how it makes me wonder who used this item before me..

I love how it gets better with age..

I love how it gives my garden it's charm..

I hope you enjoyed....My Tarnished Tuesday Garden..

Things to know...

I was tagged by Sue over at Junk-it Junction ,so I thought I'd play along..

*What is one thing you can not stand?*

That would have to be procastinators..do it ALREADY!!!!

*If you could go back to your childhood which cartoon character or tv show would be your favourite?*

It would have to be Wonder Woman..Seriously, kicking all the bad guys butt in her hot outfit..So cool!!

What is something you do or have done that would surprise a lot of people*

This one I'm not sure about.

Maybe keeping my opinion to myself for once would surprise people.

*Do you believe in ghosts*

Totally...

* When you go to the one store what's the one thing you can't stop yourself from buying more than one of?*

I can't help myself when it comes to a fab vintage bargain..

My Motto:

I'm a collector of useless ,worthless,can't-find-a-place-for,don't need it,bargain finds and PROUD of it!!!

*What's the funniest story you have about your significant other?*

I'm pleading the fifth on this one....

*What is your proudest moment of being a parent?*

When I see my boys being gracious and kind to someone else, my heart bursts with pride every single time...

* If you could go back and relive a day in your life, what would it be?*

This is a tricky one.

Maybe I'd relive the day that I scoffed 8 pieces of jam on toast for breakfast when I was 15.

Sick wasn't the word for it..

With mistakes comes knowledge .I learnt that my stomach ain't that BIG!!

So, now I'm supposed to tag 3 others..

*Trisha over at: Glass slippers and all sorts of stuff...

*Alyssa over: at Boston Bee

*Christine over at: Sunshine and lollypops

Featuring....

A lovely Thursday morning G'day to all...

I wanted to share my news..

I found out this morning that I've been given a little bit of credit..

Over at DotComGiftShop.com/blog/vintage-blogs. they've added little ol' me..

They are helping to promote all things vintage and are listing their favourite blogs..

There's lots of glorious blogs to check out..

Also lots of great things to fill your home..

Just click and you're taken straight to heaven..

I hope I'll meet new friends and others will come to visit..

Check it out....And have a fabulously shabbilicious day..

Shutter bug..

My eldest son has taken photography for his final two years of high school..

I thought I'd share a few of the shots he took on Sunday..

I think he finds a real peacefulness in his shots..

I hope you enjoy them..

His cousin

Sunday Dreams..

I love Sundays..

We can all sleep in..

It's our relaxing day..

A day to fill my head with a dreamy wish list..

* Floaty lines with ruffles*

(Cottage Chic)

*A chandelier dripping with bling*

(Z Gallerie)

*Vintage pastel party dresses*

(Unknown)

*Pretty pale pink roses*

(This next)

*The perfect cup of tea to finish the day*

I truly adore Sundays....

Sweet chair redo..

I found this little chair by the roadside a while back..

Whilst visiting all the fabulous blogs I became inspired..

I love the look of vintage grain sacks..

I've never been able to find any..(believe me I've looked)

So I thought I'd give it a go..

I had the linen type fabric and paint so it was a free redo (yippee)..

I know it's by no means perfect (far from it in fact)..

I chose the letter "M" as it's the Initial of our surname..

It's going in our master bedroom when I finish the mini makeover..

This mini makeover is taking me ages..

I've just about finished my bedhead..

I'll reveal it when our new ensemble arrives..

Till then, I'll keep you all in suspense..

Wonderful weekend

I wanted to wish everyone a wonderful weekend..

I'm painting our bedhead today in a pale french grey..

The weather is Spring spectacular..

30 degrees celsius or about 86 fahrenheit..

Hope whatever you're doing is filled with joy..
