i made these lil bottle corkers out of very cool vintage tropheys i picked up at an estate sale...CHEERS!
 
 
this lil beauty sold...
 
 
 
this dresser sold too...

this vintage dolly did not sell, so we took it apart and made it a table top, attached it to a vintage table base and voila!  i'm selling the vintage casters...i have four large, metal casters available...$15 each...
 
 
 
 
i fell in love with this lil vintage table...it had a lot of character...it sold right before we packed it up...

little getaway with the family...

we escaped to san clemente beach for a few days...it was hot, humid and the ants took over the trailer the last few days, but all and all, it was a good time...we had a lot of beach time, some good food and i loved running the trail...
after my run, i spent most of my day on the beach, alone...reading...the boys were in the water and steve was off at work...
 
i saw these three beautiful words carved in the wall of the trail on the way down to the beach...

almost there...
 
my running trail...
 
 
i love, love, love these plants...
 
the boys...shannan's hair is out of control...but they had a great time...until blake hit the sand after riding the wave...feel better, blake...xoxo
 
the boy's campfire...
 
it was our 31st anniversary yesterday and my sweet friend debbie remembered and gave us this bottle of wine to enjoy on our special day...
 
blessed to be here...
make sure you take the time to spend with your family...

kook!

a good day at the groves...

it was a good day at the groves...


this lil guy was a very cool find...i found it in laguna beach and it definately was the hit of the day!

this beauty is an old ship's spotlight that someone converted it to a desk lamp...ready to plug in and illuminate your home...i checked out the value on ebay for this exact spotlight and it was going for over eleven hundred dollars...yikes!








this super cool vintage kitchen cupboard was painted up with chalk paint and vintage door knobs, and can be used anywhere in your home...






really cool vintage trophey's turned into corks for your favorite wine or champagne...

if you find anything you can't live without, contact me and i just might have it...xoxo
