Ode to White Vintage

 must... resist... purchasing vintage tulle dresses... urge... too strong

I believe it's time to start sharing with you the rest of the photos from my recent antique mall visit! Today's theme, is white and cream shabby chic. Really, is there anything better? 

the dress forms, the canopy, the scalloping of the table...













oh, seashell curtains, cement round table, how I long for you...

 
my seashell heart is growing faint...

must rest on lovely sittery under loverlier awning...


dear feathers, how you tickle so sweet...

like white glowing paper suns out to tea...


with ladies in their best vintage hats...

 

jotting notes on their sweet altered art gift tags


lazing on a mustard chair by a shabby mantle, so sweet...
 soon must sit at lovely table for sweet treats to eat.

















oh birdcage, oh baby crib, oh dress form so tatty...

here for so long b. vereycken, 1829, have you been naughty?


a grande 6 foot birdcage, no really it's true...


now here's my favorite paintings (by Huldah Jeffe Cherry), and so to you, I say adieu!

Oh Blue, How My Heart Loves You

Turquoise, aqua, teal, sea blue, aquamarine...all wonderful names for a variety of a wonderful color blue. (If you want to read a bit about where names of color come from, check this out!) In continuation of the pink tour of my recent antique mall visit, the turquoise tour will now commence. Whether you are looking for a shabby beach cottage look, a 1950's party gown, some thing a little funky, creepy, retro or glamorous, something to tell the time, or go back in time, it can all be acquired in the land of this blue.

I brought along my mother and my two toddlers to the antique mall with me the other day, and boy, were they troopers! Because I took so many photos, I decided to reveal them to you by theme and color, Pink, Aqua, Red, Prairie, Black, Kids, Places We Sit, Fashion and Shabby Chic. Today, the honors go to Pink!

Question, do you think that a pink room could potentially be masculine? (Obviously not the overly girly examples above though!) I'd love to hear your thoughts on this, what would your man pets say? To see my masculine pink rooms, visit here.
