2 aprons

found at an estate sale this morning.

i have a slight addiction.

this makes number 11 and 12 in the apron department. pink gingham...be still my beating heart

and the black hand stitched embroidery...oh my

this little number will be worn in the garden. it has really deep pockets.

so nice and a steal at 50 cents each!

the old ice chest

this is one of my favorite pieces of furniture
it is an old ice chest from my mothers side of the family

i just adore the carving in the piece

i did some more organizing yesterday and grouped all of my platters in the top door

it is a perfect size to hold the platters
the bottom of the chest is divided so storage of items is really easy
this is one of those pieces that i will always have
until one of children beg to take it to their home
(that's how i ended up with the piece)
i would love to see your favorite furniture piece
take a picture and email it to me

red baskets

its amazing what a small investment of 2 baskets will do for the look of a cabinet. i so wish i had taken a picture before, but i didn't. just like me to jump into something before thinking:) take my word for it, this sucker looks a ton better! i grouped all of the baking ingredients like soda, baking powder, corn starch, cocoa, etc. in the bottom basket. i even put chocolate chips in there. in the second basket is sprinkles. yes for some reason we have acquired an arsenal of sprinkles. i am so happy with how this cabinet turned out. what is something that you need to organize?

fashion forward or fashion flawed

little cheeks has the odds stacked against her in regard to fashion awareness. i have always been a little fashion challenged or maybe the better term is fashion careless. i like it if it's comfy, makes me look thinner than i really am, or has a lands end tag in the back. really those are the qualifications for fashion in my book. so when i saw this beauty today i asked myself...has she broken the trend of fashion-less-ista's of the family? OR is she blindly following in the footsteps of a domestically aware woman who needs a stylist? either way she is the cutest thing i have ever seen in a pink polka dot crinoline puffed skirt and snow boots.
