Tuesday is usually the day when I look around at the mess, the aftermath of a day or two of creating and pricing inventory for the shop. Giving my little space at Camas Antiques some love often means neglecting my household duties (of course I don't neglect my sweet family, just the laundry, the dishes and the housekeeping). Before I roll up my sleeves and start putting the house back in order, I'll share a few photos with you of the goodies that made their way to the Antique Store last night! I hope you all had a lovely weekend! It was so nice to have hubby home on Monday for Pres. Day and to have a break from running back and forth to the preschool! I was literally in pajamas until after dinner last night...working away on my little projects! It was wonderful!
I love this big pink basket and tried very hard to justify keeping it. I just couldn't find the perfect spot for it in our home...so off to the shop it went! |
I never pass up a Beatrix Potter book. This one is very special because...it's pink! |
This is a vintage Bessie Pease Gutmann print titled "Love is Blind." So sweet! |
It's all coming together! |
Did you notice my petite chandelier hanging above the dollhouse in my little space at the shop? If you remember reading about it in previous posts, you'll know that I bought it to go in my kitchen above the sink. I haven't given up on that idea! It just turned out to be more complicated than I had hoped and I am now on the hunt for very special kind of hook to make it work. In the meantime I thought I would use it to glam up my space and shed a little more light on my treasures. It does have a "for display only" tag on it which I hate doing...but I really don't want to sell it! Sorry! I know how disappointing it is to see something in a store that you love only to find a "not for sale" tag attached to it! I have sold several chandeliers in my space over the years...I enjoy them but they never stick around very long! This little sweetie is a keeper...I am not about to let her go!
Thank you so much for your sweet visit today! Hi-ho, hi-ho...it's off to work I go! Back to cleaning up the aftermath of a weekend of fun projects and a neglected household!
Best Wishes and Blessings,
Amanda
