~chippy pink paint and vintage doorknobs~

~well peeps~

it has been way too long, why do i always think summer will slow down a little?

did i forget i would have my three wonderful, lively kids home!!

well i have been working on some projects here and there

but today i'm just gonna show you this charming shelf i found in an antique store

it was kinda pricey for something i could make, but it was just so charming

~and chippy~

and i can NEVER resist

~vintage crystal doorknobs ~

well, there's not a whole lot of pink happening in my home right now

{apart from sweet 17s totally pink bedroom}

so i just perched it here in an old milk crate

where i have a rag quilt, an old burlap coffee sack, one of my paris pillows....

an old wooden shoe form

and

~vintage doorknobs~

isn't it perfect?

vintage picnic goodies

i promised I'd show you some of my other vintage treasures gathered over the last few weeks

so here is my little vintage picnic I put together

come take a look with me...

vintage metal picnic basket, all rusty on the top, such neat handles

with a buttercup yellow apron tucked inside...

and see my kodak brownie camera, passed one of these up a couple months ago and vowed not to pass up the next one up I came across!

 

vintage red checked thermos, in great condition

and what picnic would be complete without a bowl of fresh sweet strawberries

in one of my favorite vintage china bowls, I paid 25c for it because it has a chip, but I just love the color so much

all laid out on an old coffee sack, with a jar of friendly nasturtiums

happy picnic days,

Tracey
