Playing, junking, and decorating . . .

I hope everyone is enjoying their July! We had a wonderful few days at the beach with family and friends. Those hot temps just screamed  come get in the water!


The grand babies enjoyed the magic of the ocean.


I did manage to get in some thrifting. My favorite find was a little vintage dress and photo.


I'm sorry about the quality of the photo. I really should not have shot it on a white leather sofa. Guess I kept my brain out in the sun too long.
It has sweet little pink roses on the dress and bonnet and is from the 50's. Since I am too, I just had to have it. Guess that makes us both vintage. I think the little pink vintage photo frame will be cute displayed with it.

My best thrifting deal was free. Those of you that follow my blog regularly may remember that I replaced
this brass fixture last summer. I know I'm slow but I just admitted I'm vintage, anyway. . .
I decided to see how she would look painted so  I disassembled her and put a coat of primer on.



Then I applied two coats of white Rustoleum  and took her to her new home at the condo.


She blends right in with all of the white there and you just can't beat free!
I'm so glad you dropped by. Y'all come join me at
