From Old to New...

It has become an obsession and I may have to take a picture of the treasures I have...

The earrings I am wearing today are I little up cycled... They were clip-ons that I loved... However, the more I wear clip-ons... the more I wonder it that is why "older" women had very long/big ear lobes... Every time I take a pair of heavy clip-on earrings off... I inspect my ear lobe as if it grew or stretched... it freaks me out... SO, i have decided to make the clip-ons I can work with to usable pierced earrings... which I am using things i have around the tote of jewerly i have... these earings i used an old bracelet i wasn't going to use for the loops to attach them to the earring hook... I am having a lot of fun doing this i just wish i had a little more time to play around with ideas... Some day...

From Fire Pit TO Flower Pot

Chiminea Fire Pit

 
 
Our "old" fire pit cracked and they top was perfect...
I hated the thought of throwing away something that...
Could be used another way...
So I stuck it in front of the house and stuck...
the mums we have been re-growing for YEARS...
SO they are a little skimpy...
but it works that is all that matters...

A Tiny Little Obsession...

Norma Jean...

The pick of the day...
When I picked them this morning I wasn’t sure if I was even going to “like” them…
They looked too big and once again I thought to myself they aren’t me…
I have a new/used black dress from S.L. and also a grey stripped sparkly sweater she gave me a while ago…
With black tights and grey flat shoes…
I was ready for work…
My choices were a necklace or earrings…
I am learning…
Nice statement necklace…
Or earrings…
One or the other…
I was going to thumb through the tote of beaded necklaces I have…
or the others I have around the house…
however, today I went right for the earrings…
I have 4 glass “jars” or whatever…
Old candle holders…
Full of
Screw backs
Clip ons
And regular pierced ears….
I first grabbed the princess looking ones…
Fake diamonds…
Cute…
But not what I was looking for…
Then it hit me…
The pair I wasn’t sure about…
Easy to put on…
Just two clips away…
And I love them…
Many compliments about the earrings… I wasn’t sure about at all…
and poof from sitting in the glass container to ears…
and then there was love J

I think everyday…
I am going to pick a necklace or earrings or bracelets and take a photo and write about it…
I am thinking I have the perfect earring to pick
Or I will pick some just to write about…

From a BIG Star to Placemats


The weekend flew with the blink of an eye it was over… I personally do NOT like when that happens, so many things to do and NO time to do them. But I am learning as I get older time passes me by everyday… I should have realized this when someone told me before my wedding enjoy every moment because it will fly… (yeah right), it was the truth, started and poof it was over J.

Monday started slow and by/before lunch… poof… it was time to go home… Stevie was working not far from my office SO we decided to head to the Route 7 diner for a quick dinner… The diner was slow the food was GREAT… Stevie had a huge meal, which should be expected at a diner because it comes with, soup, salad, rolls, two sides, CRAZY, but the price amazing and cooked to perfection!! Possibly because there were only about six customers in the whole place!

We arrived home and fell into our normal routine, except Stevie was home at the exact time, which never happens anymore or not that often.  I took off my shoes and said hello to Sherlock and Stevie said… there is a star on the table… I thought… there is what on the table… trying to remember if I set anything on the table in the morning… I said… There is a what on the table… He replied… A star come and look…

My mom finished the placemats she showed me a few months before made from the scraps of material for the amazing Christmas tree skirt she made Stevie for Christmas of 2011. They are incredible, there are six all together, if you separate them, and you can put each corner together which makes a star!!! I love it… I have yet to remove the star my mom left us in the middle of the table, it makes me smile when I look at it. Sherlock seemed to enjoy it also night also as he laid in the middle of the table sleeping on them… I didn’t say a word about it just looked at him, just like he laid on the Christmas tree skirt…

And here is a picture of my moms amazing work!!!

I wore what???


Everyone knows, I am NOT a gold fan… Never have been but potential could become part of my wardrobe!!!

Don’t ask me what came over me… Maybe, rummaging through the box of found treasure, is just what I needed, some crap, some tangled necklaces (I doubt will ever become untangled), some garbage and some a little freaky. However, getting the giant gold owl made my day!!! I love it… In fact, I am super excited to be wearing it with a longer chain. Which hangs down past my chest not on/in my chest anymore… I love it… I am very happy with the crazy, stalking out, purchase that I made!!!

Very appreciative of my owl and what an owl stands for. I and proud and very excited… This makes me want to buy more owls!!! This brings me to another GREAT find, an owl ring, which will be a lot of fun to wear!

I ended up going on-line and finding a GREAT website that talks about the “Vintage Owl Necklace”, it was a fun read.( http://www.pennpollyvintage.com/blog/a-vintage-owl-necklace-quick-guide/338/ )

That’s all for now, Happy Thursday!

A New Beginning

I have decided to start a new blog... In the mind of A… Seeing how lately there has been many things on my mind, photography, recipes, cooking, jewelry, vintage things, recipes, photos, reading, friendships, family, journal, pen, and more a lot more. So I decided to dedicate at least write everyday on what is in this little mind of mine… and pictures many of them!

Sit back, enjoy … question, comments, or any ideas just let me know… I am a pretty open book!!!
