I just recently downloaded this great new app from http://www.hopewallace.com/. The name of the app is Nostalgic Musings. I highly recommend.

 This one is either a perfume bottle or flask...I'm not sure.

My Halloween display. I found the stick pumpkins at Trader Joe's. They have a great selection of flowers and plants at the Irvine, Ca location.

Flea market finds- a pair of Italian candle holders and a white tutu.

Here is another video link I found from Rachel Ashwell. I love this short piece on her new bed and breakfast called The Prairie in Roundtop, TX. I would love to visit sometime, I'm thinking maybe when I attend the Roundtop-Marburger antique show.

I am loving the mermaid waves and found this great video from Free People to show you how to get the look.

Recently I have been wondering how people take such great photos for their blogs. I found this link online that might help some people who are interested. http://www.shrimpsaladcircus.com/2010/03/how-to-sday-10-dollar-10-minute-fold-up.html

Vintage finds.

Happy October! I found these glitter pumpkins at Target and had to have them. They are so girly.

BE INSPIRED.

Some artwork I thought I would share.  I found this at a flea market a while ago and wasn't sure about buying it because of the harsh background colors, but the pink roses really do pop.

 My new tote created from vintage tribal fabric. It's a piece of art and the detailing is so beautiful. It is all hand embroidered.

A new lamp recently found at the Great Park Antique Market in Irvine, CA. It was pretty chippy but I really loved the large pink rose. It now resides on my nightstand.

Me in my Dirndl, a Bavarian style dress on my way to Oktoberfest.

 Some of my finds on my recent trip to London. A silver heart box.

 A pretty bathing beauty.

A shabby pink parasol.
