Whimsy...

i think as we get older the farther we
get from being a kid and i don't mean
chronologically i mean there seems to
be a cultural expectations that we need
to be all "adult".
there isn't anything wrong being adult
it's a good thing but sometimes i think
we just need to get in touch with our
kid side.
have you ever noticed how much fun they
get to have.
i've been thinking maybe we need to
take a kid approach to decorating,
not to the whole space but adding  a little
whimsy to your space can bring
an unexpected surprise to a room,
add a conversational starter and make
you smile. 

next time you look around and feel
you need to change things up in your
home look for a way to add some
whimsy.

what ever it is, have fun
and add what ever it is that will
make you smile everyday.

Plucky finds....

we had so much fun this weekend...

it started with an estate sale on friday,

this house was full, one of those where you 

wonder how some could have lived in it 

because there was so much!

i bought so much that i had to go back

the next day to pick up the rest of it.

then friday night we hit up the 

plucky maidens vintage market

and i have to tell you those girls

know how to pull out all the vintage stops.

we had so much fun saying hi and catching up...

and of course we couldn't help but pick up a few...

well, maybe more then a few. 

 these pack into each other and have never been used.

 foldable sewing table with the tape measure painted on top.

the picture doesn't do the patina on this beauty justice.

 the sweetest pink moonbeam clock and a box of chocolates sans chocolates

 perfect for any desk or bedside table

 red and chippy...perfect for a cocktail cart

 a medical cabinet would make the perfect cabinet

for any home

 can't you see this at a farm table?

tectronix 50's office chair

pretty in pink...

these are just a few of the pieces we found

this weekend. 

we had so much fun we bought more on saturday

and now can't wait until the next

plucky maidens vintage market.

be sure to frequently check our space at

Splendid at Stars...

for these and other vintage finds...

ciao,
