Picture overload


This past weekend Mr. B and I headed to Pennsylvania to visit my mom and popparoni. It was a much needed visit filled with comfort, food and lots of laughs. Sometimes, well most times, when we go there, we antique. There is a great Antique Barn there called Peddlers Village. It's filled with amazing things. Here are some shots that I took inside. Apparently some vendors are a little touchy when it comes to photos. One person running a booth questioned why I was taking pictures and advised me "in his opinion I should not..." HA ! What a grumpy old man !

There are some great treasures to be found inside the barn. Some I did actually get, but more on that tomorrow. First two pictures of non vintage items. There is a little nook in the front of the barn with items made from the Amish. This is one of them. I loved it.

I want my father in law to make me this. It's a bench made out of a raised panel door ! So cool

Another shot 


These are just cool. Copper wire in glass bowls. I'd never pay what they were asking, but a great idea !

Ball jars.

Love these glass door knobs ! So awesome.

Gorgeous tea set. Very expensive too !


 Here are a few items in the grumpy old man's booth. No one else mentioned to me to not take photos and there were no signs. Maybe I should have just known? I don't know. Any one else experience this?
Cute little lighted Christmas tree.

Awesome old seltzer bottle, and do you see that stained glass back there to the right? So so beautiful.
I think I have a crush on hunting pictures.

 Here are some more treasures found a long the way.



Cool playing card banners.






Just love the old ladder they used as a prop.

Christmas galore !
So cool but no room for this puppy at my house.

I always see this there, I love this silhouette pattern. But very expensive !

I tried so hard to think of a place for this shutter. Could not come up with one, so it stayed in PA. Sad.
 Then we moved to another antique store down the road. This one is nice, but overpriced ! My mom did get my the old window here though, so I guess she is good for some things.
What greets you on the outside
Pottery
An awesome stained glass Fleur De Lis. If I knew my sister in law would like this, it so would have been her b'day gift !

Oh how this picture is crappy, but Mr. B really wanted this lol. It's still in PA. too =).

The pictures came out great. Next time we need to go to "your favorite" and maybe the Chic Lamp store!

Some plans come undone...

This seems to be the theme of our lives lately but it also fit in to the semi decorating reno I wanted to do in our downstairs bathroom/laundry room. And see that was the question, is it a bathroom or is it a laundry room or heck, is it both? I decided to embrace it and decorate around it being a laundry room. I planned on painting the walls gray and one day I will get around to it. But for now I just used the decorations I had come up with to change it up a bit. Here is the before. And the after... We removed the verticals and hung a valance that we had, we had changed the light fixture months ago to make it flow better with the one above the sink. We also changed the hardware on all the cabinets to silver instead of bronze. We also added a shelf to go above the washer and dryer. This way all the soap, fabric softener and bounce sheets had a new home. I then added decorations that went with the theme of a laundry room. Believe it or not this old washboard was in our shed. Looks like ...

Lipstick messages

Yesterday was my birthday. Nothing fabulous. At this point of my age, it's just another year older. Nothing monumental, not a new decade, nothing to go crazy about.... But it got me thinking about when my sisters and I were younger, (and anyone else who may have lived here from time to time) my mom would write lipstick messages on our bathroom mirror. Most of the times it would say "Happy Birthday" to us. And if I was having a terrible week , it would be something encouraging like "I love you, have a great day." Well, I definitely miss my lipstick messages. I wish when they were written, we had Facebook or Instagram. What a cool thing to have captured. Here is a picture of what one may have looked like, not ours, but similar.

It's no secret...

that our bodies can do amazing things. Especially us women. It's also no secret that we are almost suffocated with the image of what the "perfect "woman should look like. Does that person really exist in life without a cook, maid, personal trainer, butler, life coach, plastic surgeon, etc. etc? Who knows. What I do know is this, I have seen beautiful women in my life, many of them. And guess what? They are not what are in those photo-shopped magazines. They are just simply beautiful. When we make the decision to have a baby, of course we wonder what is going to happen to our bodies? Will we gain 200lbs? We will get stretch marks? Will we be able to lose the weight we gain? And maybe some don't even worry because they are just happy with being pregnant. For me, I was happy to be pregnant. I was overweight to begin with and my first trimester was a doozie. I ended up losing weight then(don't worry I gained it back) But I didn't gain too much because I had...
