A little of this and a little of that...

The past few days have been so hectic I am just now getting to the things that happened in my life LAST week. I think I need a "do over". Do you ever feel that way?
Saturday we went to The Enchanted Forest in Greenville for some treats and lots of fun. I don't know who had more fun me or the grandbabies.
Grandbaby #Two went as a cute little pink poodle.


Grandbaby # One went as Superman.


We said,"hold your baby sister." ... guess we should have been more specific.


It's not as dangerous as it looks. The camera just caught that second. He really is a good big brother and helps mom and dad take care of little "sisa!."
There were lots of story book characters in the Enchanted Forest.


Earlier in the week I felt like I was in an Enchanted Forest when I visited one of my favorite
antique malls...

I was so excited when I spotted this cute little pitcher.


It is a lamp.I had been looking for one for my kitchen. I wanted a silver teapot and may have to make my own lamp later but this one will do for now.... after all, you can never have too many lamps or pitchers, right???


Please ignore the electric cord. Cords are often a decorating challenge for me. Any ideas on how to hide them on a kitchen counter and island? I seriously could use some help with this.

moving on...

I also scored these little vintage Christmas ornaments.I plan to use them at the condo.


The faces are painted with such cute detailed expressions.


and finally
After about my 100th visit to a store I went home and got these to take back with me to the store.


No,Your computer has not bit the dust and you do not need your eyes checked.It is just what it looks like. My red (oxblood) Dansko and a red tie-back. I used them to match a color on a purchase I finally made today.
Any guesses???
 I'm suppose to get it tomorrow.
I'll be back with a picture when it arrives.
Glad you stopped by. Hope you have a great evening and y'all come on back!

I'm linking to these great parties. Go visit for lots of fun!

  2. Love the lamp! Maybe you could tack the cord just above the back splash so it's not so obvious. You could even put a piece of trim there on the whole backsplash if you really got into hiding it!

    Thanks for commenting on my blog! I am a new fam!

  15. What a lovely family! Cute grands! I have a silver teapot lamp. It took many months to get it because I kept getting outbid on them on ebay. I finally got mine for around $15. I love it but I have never quite found the perfect shade for it.

  21. The pics of your grand kids are too cute! The teapot lamp was such a great find. Would a wash and wear cord cover work, or would it get too gunked up on the counter?

  24. Those babies are just precious. I laughed out loud when I saw the photo of him "holding" the baby...so cute.
    I really like your lamp..I need one, too, for my kitchen. A small one that can be tucked in beneath my cabinets.
    Pretty ornaments, too.
    My guess is a new red chair..??

  26. What sweet faces and cute costumes! I love the vintage ornaments and lamp. I have seen some people who make a little fabric sleeve that slips over the cord. Don't know if that will fit with your decor. . .

    And thanks for stopping by my blog. I appreciate the comment.

  27. They always take you so litterally when they are that small, lol. I remember the day my oldest got the whole joking thing, what a wonderful day. Love your pics and ornaments!

  35. You have the cutest grandbabies! I just love that pink poodle outfit. The enchanted forest sounds like a lot of fun. And that teapot lamp is wonderful. As for the ornaments - pure jealousy. I've been looking for vintage ornaments all year and have found only two.

  37. Your little superman and poodle are adorable. How precious your grandchildren are!!

  38. I really got a kick out of your grandchildren's Halloween costumes. What precious blessings they are!
    I love the pitcher (lamp) you purchased. I think small lamps add such warmth and coziness to a kitchen. I have the same problem with cords. I know some folks make a narrow "sleeve" of fabric to cover the cord. Very nice reading back thru your posts tonight.
