Happy Valentines

Happy Valentines to all my friends.
I wish you a great day full of love.

Now for some inspiration:
Let's decorate our home for the celebration, I love the holiday. I already made a lot of handmade cards with my friends at "art class" last month. We used "Martha" border cutters.  It was a challenge, not easy.
I will post some pictures of my handmade cards. Of course, I made lots of pretty tags for gifts, hearts, cupids, french words, and just I love you,















I made lots more buy they will go on another post.


Love

Collecting salvage

Hello friends:


Our shop is closed for a little vacation, it has been a very busy winter. It will open soon, I promise, with new salvage pieces and new recipes.


Collecting salvage is so much fun, the challenge of making something beautiful and useful again. I love
what people discard because they can't use it anymore, or is broken, shabby, rusty, ugly, in my head it can become a useful piece, just a coat of paint,
a pair of pliers or a hammer and nails, you know what I mean.  Everything has a purpose, don't buy new, just restore it. Start with a small project, and I promise you, collecting salvage pieces and items will be your new hobby.

cool salvage serving piece .  Love the idea:  Serve your pop corn, fruit, cheese, on a n old piece of salvage wood, instead of NEW CHINA!!!!!

this is great in front of the ugly window scene, hide the next door apartment
with a stack of vintage crates, bottles, and architectural pieces, love these

The best apple crates or cranberry crates super organization, lots of room.
You need room for all your treasures, life is family, friends, and salvage
treasures!!!!!
Romantic Rachel Ashwell love the cozy corner, invites reading,
sipping hot tea, listening to music, watching the football in the winter, and more....



Get up and get some salvage treasures,

love

Everything Shabby

Hello friends:

Thank you for all your comments, love love love
what you have to say back, and I try to answer all questions.

Sometimes I think a day should have 30 hours not 24, since time goes so fast.

For today I found our lovely inspiration:

Look at these doors?????


Love the doors, a lot of work went into making these doors so shabby.
From Modern Country  A great book !!!

          Really beautiful...also expensive!, 
          PostedJune 7, 2011
          Pros: beautiful, rustic yet elegant, unique
          Cons: very expensive, not 100% refined in the functional sense
          "I was looking for one piece that would make a statement but hold a lot, and this is definitely the one! I have this piece of furniture in the entryway of my apartment because it will not fit up the narrow staircase (it is HUGE). I have already gotten numerous compliments on it, have not had many visitors, and I have been here for only 2 weeks. It is very large, impressive in scale; elegantly rustic yet finished relatively well- not lacking in craftsmanship. My only complaint is that sometimes the drawers stick; for a piece costing this much, I would expect it to function flawlessly. It is truly beautiful, though, and will hold two wardrobes worth of goods."
