Pretty overwhelming...I know cuz I am now putting it away! But love my vintage Christmas. More later!

Royal Summer

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!! Ok, you would think I did something- 

My Summer obsession is over. Hope to get back to reality and start decorating for the Christmas holiday. I will post some Halloween (belated). Taking it all down today. I wonder how many of my old friends are still blogging?

Happy Summer!

Happy Summer! Haven't posted in a long time. Hope everyone doing well. I am into my Kansas City Royals baseball obsession Got a late start around here with all the rainy days, so haven't really got to do much gardening. I will post when I get my patio finished...going for a fifties, sixties feel. There is a bar b que grill made out of bricks that I hope to restore and start using..Until then! ZOOT

Blankets!! My new collection obsession!

green blanket

Hey all!!! I have 2 new blankets from the thrifts. I am so excited to have a new focus for collecting. Blankets can add such a stunning touch to a blah bed, and can be used in alot of ways. Right now we are having snow and cold. Last week it was in the 70's. So we need warm blankets. I saw the gold and roses one and nabbed it at Salvation Army this weekend. It matches the guest room decor.

Gold lamp

Brown and gold roses

Gold chair
Also... these finds...New chair pads 99 cents a peice add color to my chairs. I like them because they are fruit patterned.

 

Cute oranges and cherries juice glasses

Great way to cheer up a kitchen in this cold weather until Spring comes!! It makes me happy to see my cute bright colored kitchen in the morning when I  have my coffee!! Well stay warm and show me your bright colored kitchenwares!!

Happy Sunday

Baby in Living room

Hello all! Happy Sunday! I have had a basement disaster that involved raw sewage spewing on everything. Been cleaning and sorting. Thought I would take a break and see my doggies.I salvaged two panels of barkcloth, but they didn't do well in washer. Baby was upset so she took a nap. LOL

Not much at the thrifts, but did find a great mint condition sixties bedspread for 3.98! Maybe I will use it when I redecorate for Spring!

Return of Zmama!! Update on kitchen

I know...it's been ages. But - I plan to start blogging again. I hope some of you are still out there that used to visit me! I didn't have home internet for a long time and now I do. Didn't like trying to blog on my phone....I am an old fogie I guess. Here is my latest formica table, (One of way too many). Couldn't pass it up for $10.00!  I haven't really posted a good picture of my little Fridgiaire fridge either. Lovin' it...

Summer...so far!

Hey all! Just a quickie...to let ya know what I've been up to so far this summer. Top pix is my 24.00 hide a bed from the fifties! In great shape, too! Cannot pass up couches. My addiction is now lamps and couches, oh, and  oh and pillows! I found a great oriental barkcloth at the thrift for 99 cents! See bottom pix... The lampshade isnt' perfect, but also 1.00! and I have finally put up my clothesline. Luv hanging sheets! Thanks son Matt for helping! Disregard my finger...lol. Two trees have fallen on the roof with all the storms here in Missouri. No one hurt, except the landlords pocket! One good thing about renting. HOpe all are well!
