The last two weeks have been about tweaking my home.

The details, the personal items, the things I love.

I feel like I reached a certain point after our renovations and then I stopped.

Of course, the holidays were a time to decorate.

But, right now, I am trying to make our home personal and for the everyday, the days that really matter.

And nothing makes me happier then some vintage treasures.

So I went on a hunt and here is what I found.

A simple and gracious embroidered fabric in a frame…

An amazing brass cricket…

An old weathered sign – actually he said it was from an old buckboard…

A great canister set (there are several other pieces as well!)…

And a lovely lady.

One of my favorite things about hitting the vintage shops is the people. I love to hear their stories. I love the happy ones, the artists, the cranky pants, the crazies.

I love blending the old and the new in my home.

How about you?

Thanks for stopping by.
