I've been busy renovating and then booking our new cottage {see <a href="http://www.threeseascottage.com/" target="_blank">Three Seas Cottage</a> for more info} and doing a bit of blogging over there... so I've been neglecting this little spot. I did want to tell you a bit about a great website called <a href="http://www.canvaspop.com/" target="_blank">Canvas Pop</a> as well as show you what they did for ME... and tell you how much I absolutely love it!</div>

Furnishing an entire house is a daunting task when you are starting with nothing! Once I had the furniture, I moved on to artwork and accessories. Lots of hours have been spent at thrift stores and TJ Maxx, let me tell you. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is where Canvas Pop came in to play!</div>

I'm using a random number generator from random.org to do the picking so it is fair. You will have from Friday until Sunday night at 8:00 to comment to get your spot in the number generator. (I will use your comment number, so first comment is number one and so on. GOOD LUCK!!! UPDATE: There were only 2 entries; so it was a 50/50 shot... congrats to Barbara ... you must be lucky because you won!<br />

When I was contacted by <a href="https://www.chairish.com/" target="_blank">Chairish</a> <a href="https://www.chairish.com/collection/vintage-furniture" target="_blank">Vintage Furniture</a> to check out their site I was pretty intrigued. I was also pretty swamped, so I didn't have time to go right away. Big Mistake! When I finally got around to visiting I was inspired! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.chairish.com/" target="_blank">Chairish</a> is a great concept. (And great name, right???) Charish.com makes it fun and easy for design lovers to buy and sell vintage and used furniture, decor, fashion jewelry and accessories to one another. Their shop exclusively features curator-approved treasures in a full-service and trustworthy environment... you should check it out! <br />
<br />
Here are some of the things I was drooling over! </div>

So many amazing things and their "what we're digging" boards are inspiring!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you have high end vintage items to sell I'd say this is the place to go!</div>

Head over and let me know what makes YOU drool!</div>

I am finally getting a spare moment to upload a little Christmas fun... almost in time to bring out all the decor and do it again.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's sort of Christmas-ish here in the country. The almond trees are dropping their blooms and it looks like snow is on the ground. </div>

I'm not sure why this morning of all mornings I woke up and thought I should do a blog post. </div>

I mean, the last one was June 23. </div>

I've been busy. Like you... everybody is busy have you noticed?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We are currently busy renovating another house. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will show some before and middle pictures since the after...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, it ain't happened yet. YET. Give us a month. Or two.</div>

Yes. That is carpet in the kitchen.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
However, this house belonged to my husband's Oma. And we LOVE Oma. </div>

The living room/dining room is ginormous. On each end of the room are these fantastic window benches. I can't wait to be finished and curl up on one of those with a good book.</div>

<br />
I love weddings; but I'm not a huge fan games at showers.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's always awkward to play a game with someone I don't know.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm weird.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That's why at the latest shower for my gorgeous friend Lisa, I knew I wanted to do something different.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The bride and I love to craft together, so I thought we should make something fun.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Having each person at the shower decorate a can to tie behind their getaway vehicle seemed like a great idea.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They turned out SO CUTE.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And tied behind my sis-in-law's vintage truck named Ethel? Adorbs.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
I saved and washed cans. Then got out my paper scraps, glue and scissors.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That's it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was a great ice breaker and each lady got to contribute something for the wedding.</div>

I think my favorite plants of late are succulents.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They are about 99% unkillable.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But what about that other 1%? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hobby Lobby to the rescue with...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Faux Succulents.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Let's get our faux on with a vintage vibe.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I took this thrifted sifter.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
{oh my goodness, say that 5 times fast}</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Here's an idea...<br />
Attend a shower and leave with something<br />
FOR THE SHOWER!<br />
Having a "make and take" at a baby or bridal shower<br />
is a good way to break the ice, entertain the guests<br />
and provide a take home gift all at the same time. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I simply furnished supplies and made an instruction sign. <br />
They ladies did the rest!<br />
The bride is a barista,<br />
so I wanted to make the scrub with <b>coffee grounds</b> for sure.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you are looking for a great scrub that incorporates coffee,<br />
this recipe is a good one.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It smells amazing, and works really well!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To make the scrubs you will need a container and<br />
1/2 cup coffee grounds, 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1/4 oil.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

If you want to add some vanilla or cinnamon to spice it up<br />
that would work really well.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Simply mix everything together,<br />
put in the container and tie with a tag.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
SOOOOOOO CUTE!</div>

I found the printable tags here: <a href="http://www.hairsprayandhighheels.net/2013/11/diy-coffee-sugar-scrub/" target="_blank">Hairspray and High Heels</a><br />

We whipped up a quick little stand using </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
old fence boards and a few 2 x 4's.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A beautiful linen and lace banner and some fun props...</div>

Do you need an easy (and awesome) lemonade recipe?</div>

Guess who is a speaker at the<br />
Northern California Association Mother of Twins Club Event?<br />
Whoa... say that five times fast...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm slightly freaking out because one hour is a long time to talk.<br />
If they get bored they could probably just take a nap.<br />
I bet a mother's of twins need lots of naps.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In my search for neat things to show the ladies, I discovered the coolest site!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://thriftstorerunway.com/" target="_blank">Thrift Store Runway</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Million Dollar Looks. Fifty Dollar Budgets.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It made me miss my weekly thrifted outfits posts.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So for old times sake I'm bringing back a favorite:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">I just HAD to enter Thrift Store Runway's March contest. They say, "</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Anyone can have fabulous style on a movie star's salary, </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">but it takes real talent to put together a stylish look on a budget." </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">I love that quote. Almost as I love getting a good deal! </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Wish me luck for my speaking event. I hope the ladies are inspired to start thrifting and upcycling and that we all have fun! I have a rack of thrifted clothes ready for my "dress a mannequin" contest, my thrifty tips list and a bunch of upcycled projects to share. Wish you could be there too... </span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Over Christmas I made some cutie pie arrangements for my table.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
They were inspired by these glass vanity light shades.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thrift store score $1.99</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I thought the "shades" would look so adorable filled with Baby's Breath.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
However the bunch of Baby's Breath I grabbed at the florist was $18.00.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yikes. Too rich for my blood! Off to Home Depot.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They had these Amaryllis for so cheap. $2.49</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I put some packing tape over the hole in the bottom just in case things got messy, then added a Dollar Store square vase and transplanted the Amaryllis.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cover the ugly with Spanish Moss and ...</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I think they turned out so great!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3 of them down the center of the table ... perfect!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And total cost was about $15.00.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That's less than a bunch of Baby's Breath!<br />
<br />
Make it a thrifty and wonderful day... xoxo jules</div>

Not take a shower, exercise or eat clean.</div>

This morning when I opened up my email I saw a new post from <a href="http://eclecticallyvintage.com/" target="_blank">Eclectically Vintage</a>. Love that blog that's vintage with a modern twist. To me that's the perfect style.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was so thrilled to see a project I had everything for! Hoarding pays off, I tell you.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I poured some Epsom Salt in the bottom and plunked the Snowbaby and the trees inside.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
THAT'S IT!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
There are so many things to love.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sweaters. Scarves. Boots.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then I see my little sundress hanging in the closet all forlorn.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I start longing for summer days.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I'm reading One Thousand Gifts by Ann Voskamp and trying, trying to take notice of little blessings.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sometimes they are so little I almost miss them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And the thought of how many little things I've been too busy to see makes me sad.</div>

Mandy from <a href="http://www.vintagerevivals.com/" target="_blank">Vintage Revivals</a> (if you haven't been to her blog you must be living on the moon or something) had the dream child of #colddeadfingers on instagram.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As in a find so fab that to get it away from you they will have to pry it from your</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
cold dead fingers.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This morning when I visited her blog I found this: <a href="http://www.vintagerevivals.com/2013/10/cold-dead-fingers-2.html" target="_blank"> #colddeadfingers</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yep, if you followed that link you saw my picture, front and center!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Remember when it looked like this?</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
As much as I love yellow, I couldn't handle it on this. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I must confess, that the current white you see is only primer.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I do love it white.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have to live with it for a bit to see if it is wanting to be something different.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
So yea for #colddeadfingers ... search it on instagram and you will see so many finds.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Don't be jealous by them, be inspired!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So many amazing things are out there just waiting for you to discover them!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What are you waiting for???</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've been trying to keep my life simple.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hate when I add to its complexity and forget to be thankful for the small things.</div>

A few little pumpkins and some mums from Lowes are the only thing my porch needs this year.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Maybe next year I will be all about the cornstalks and hay bales and bling.</div>

But this year; I'm going for the simple things!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm on a little bloggy vacation.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've got too much going on... who doesn't?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have clients that need me out showing property and selling their houses,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
instead of making banners and mod-podging pumpkins.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
OK, so I will still be doing the making and mod-podging.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just don't have time to blog it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You understand, right?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cheers to a Happy Fall and see you SOON!</div>

It helps with my cardio.</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It was a sweet day when we closed escrow on our rental; and having one of my besties agree to be our renter... well that was the cherry on top.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">She helped with the renovation and when she moved her fabulous self, kids and stuff in we were all thrilled. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Erin has style and grace and we are so proud of her.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Today let's start with the little bathroom. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Before: We fell in love with the teal tile in all its vintage goodness. All we had to do in here was CLEAN, add a new faucet and flooring, paint and replace the window. Then it was time for Erin to work her magic.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After: Erin gave the space some personality and we couldn't be happier! The striped shower curtain is from TJ Maxx. One of those curved rods adds some extra space in the otherwise small tub. The new toilet is located behind the open door in its own little niche.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Lesson One: Soap and room freshener do not have to be boring. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The tray and canister are thrifted. Yep, my pal is pretty thrifty!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Lesson Two: Illustrations from vintage books make amazing art. She shares this bathroom with the kids, so Erin brought in some whimsy via the framed books pages to make them smile.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Lesson Three: You can find cool stuff at the 99 Cent store. These graphic Kleenex are usable art. Erin piled them in a thrifted pedestal vase. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Lesson Four: In a small space you've got to get creative.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Erin made this toothbrush holder out of tin cans and an old board. She painted it out in her signature silver. The brushes stay separate and out of the way while still within easy reach.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We made a pact to only eat at places we couldn't eat at home.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">No fast food.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">No chain restaurants.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Oh the food we ate... I will be working it off for weeks.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I want this to be my view every morning.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Even though we are now back to insane 100+ degree weather and bad air quality, home is where our family is. {I missed my kids like crazy.} While it's nice to be home,</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> we're already planning our next trip back. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If the kids behave they can come too. :-)</span></div>
