Estate jewelry fantasticalness.


It is that time of year!  The air is crisp and the leaves are changing.
Football season is in full swing and with that comes Homecoming!!






I loved Homecoming.  It was a chance to dress up and celebrate.  I still love it and all that comes with it.



Shopping with my girl for the amazing unusual dress.  Because my Shelby cant have any old thing.  It has to be EPIC.




My girl is so much like me.  We love to mix up styles.  We have determined that our style is juxtaposition.




Mixing the old with the new.  The soft with the edgy.  So when I am at auctions I am always confusing the  caller.  A rusty gas can and estate jewelry........"what?" 
 Yes!!!!
Love it!!






So before these necklaces hit my etsy store I wanted to show them to you.
$12.00 first buyer gets first pick and the bracelet free.




As I am posting this I am trying very hard not to just keep this one......MAGNIFICENT!
Not to knock the mall, but this is the stuff you played with in your grandmother's bedroom when no one could find you.....princess wear!







This is a choker....kinda sexy ladies...maybe not for the teen, but for a little surprise for the honey.....just sayin........meow!




This one too....choker .....might be using this one...lol






Very elegant.......




I will have these listed in the next couple days at my store.  If you are local I can bring it by.  If you need detailed measurement send me a note.  The clasp is a claw and hook on all of them, so they will adjust to any comfortable length.

I guess I should take them off now......

Tiny spaces......



Awwwwww.......the tiny downstairs bathroom.

The one that everyone in the neighborhood uses.  The one that floods most.  The one that gets

 "clogged" most.  And in my house...the one that gets neglected...in the decorating department..


Who has time to worry about the way it looks and how well it is functioning when you need to be on the cleaning part....


Well with the kids back in school this was one of my projects.
I love crates.....and I scored a bunch at an old antique place...soooooo!





My little bath that needed some storage and some love got some this week.





I brushed the crates off with light steel wool and then hit them with lots of Minwax...clear.  There are lots of Minwax products for all sorts of projects.  I didn't want to change the color of the crates I just wanted to bring out the vintage yumminess and protect them from little hands.  This paste is easy.....wipe on wipe off.








My love for all things Ball Jar...continues...they just make me so happy...I mean who knew the jars that my grandmother used to put up the tomatoes are now used everywhere in my house....




FIND THE STUDS!!!
This is a must and I don't mean your hubby.......




This one isn't as old but the lid is great to hide the TP.......


The towel rack was pulled down too many times.  Kids eager to get back outside just yanked and it was gone.  This simple solution has managed to stay up and the kids return the towels.





My mom makes these cute purses.  We keep the hairbrush and face powder in it for quick touch ups...and it is a sweet splash of color.
