WHAT A DAY......work, work, work:(

Hello lovely people, I had an exhausting Saturday and missed my Sassy outfit post. I was bummed about not being able to fit it in because I enjoy creating my next outfit using thrifted items in my closet. I am going to make an effort to do this today{Sunday}. My job seems to be getting in the way of my creativity and blogging, imagine that. I really wanted to post because of fashion week. I feel like I have not contributed or acknowledged it at all. Even in my exhaustive state, I will pull it together....soon:D

ANTHROPOLOGIE DECOR.....


never too young or old to shop anthro....I thought she was a mannequin at first sight...oops!
she was all jazzed up in her pleated dress, hat and pearls.....me in 20 years still shopping anthro.
i have started a small owl collection....small but growing....
what a beautiful linen/cotton napkin
this sink was so primitive looking and huge. I love the mercury glass votive holders and various glass trinkets....i think the mobile is made from paper....paper seems to be their theme this year...
view of this amazing bed and stacked mantels from above.....love
i love all the layering and grouping of pictures and mirrors....
beautiful stained glass, dome ceiling....

this photo is not upside down.....look at the photo above and below this one.....

upside down display....notice the vents on the wall.....I guess the shoes are glued to the rug...

they attached a shower rod and handles to the wall and painted a tub mural.....
a walk-in fireplace is just what I want in my old farmhouse.....
love the nautical theme displays....


Hi Lovely people, I am so excited for my niece who just landed a job in my most favorite store...Anthropologie!!!!! SHE IS SO LUCKY and I am proud of her. Did I mention her discount???? Anyway, when Lisa and I visited the store in Philadelphia a few weeks back, I took a ton of photos so I had to split them up into Fashion and Decor posts. The store in Phila. is so amazing and inspiring that I took about 100 photos....hope you enjoy them and if you ever get a chance to visit, it's located on the corner of 18th and Walnuts sts. in Phila. Get inspired!!!

THURSDAY'S THRIFT......STRANGERS






THROUGHOUT MY YEARS OF THRIFTING, I HAVE ALWAYS LOOKED FOR OLD BLACK AND WHITE PHOTOGRAPHS OF PEOPLE (STRANGERS) TO DISPLAY ON HALLOWEEN FOR A CREEPY EFFECT. HERE IS A COLLECTION OF PEOPLE WITH THEIR AUSTERE, STOIC LIKE EXPRESSIONS WHICH MAKES THEM ALL THE MORE EFFECTIVE. I DISPLAY THEM WITH A FEW EMBELLISHMENTS LIKE COBWEBS AND SPIDERS AND REFER TO THEM AS MY FAMILY....STELLA LIVETHS, IMA GONNER, LIZZIE AXTHEM, MYRA MAINS, NOAH PULSE, AND EM T. TOMB .......BOOOOOO!!! TOTAL COST WITH FRAMES WAS LESS THAN $25.00.

JOIN THE CARAVAN OF LOVE....


I WILL HAVE MINE BY NEXT FALL....CAN'T WAIT TO DECORATE HER. via:Telegraph.co.uk

OLSEN TWINS......

HALLOWEEN SUITCASE VIGNETTES.....




I HAVE BEEN WANTING TO MAKE A HALLOWEEN SUITCASE VIGNETTE SO LAST NIGHT I GATHERED A FEW ITEMS THAT WERE NOT PACKED AWAY IN THE GARAGE FROM LAST HALLOWEEN AND CREATED THIS FUN LITTLE MIX OF VINTAGE ITEMS AND NEWER ONES. EVERY YEAR I TREAT MYSELF TO A VINTAGE HALLOWEEN DECORATION. LAST YEAR I FOUND THE ORANGE PARTY HAT WITH THE BLACK CAT AT JOY'S JUNK IN WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP....THE HAT HAS THE ORIGINAL STICKER INTACT FROM S. S. KRESGE CO. MARKED 15 CENTS. I THINK IT'S FROM 1960's OR 70'S. VINTAGE HALLOWEEN ITEMS LIKE THIS AND OLDER ARE HIGHLY COLLECTIBLE WITH A BIG STICKER PRICE.

MY PERFECT WEDNESDAY MORNING....

A SLIGHT HINT OF FALL....CHANGING LEAVES

BLACKERS IS SO SWEET....
I LOVE HIS LITTLE WHITE PAWS.....
WINDOW TO A PERFECT SKY....
MY BABY CARDINAL....MOM IS CLOSE BY....
I AM WATCHING YOU REDZO....CAT STALKER....
HE COMES AROUND EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE FOR A STROKE AND A SCRATCH.....REDZIE REDZO THE CAT WITH A COMPLEX.
