I have been hoarding all these fabulous photos

as inspiration....

hiding them in my computer....

and swooning over them in my quiet hours...

and thought that maybe instead of keeping them all for myself....

that I should share them with all of you...
so you can swoon too....

Maybe you already know about this amazing woman from

Lantlif

but in case you don't....let me introduce you.....

her name is Annette and she lives in Sweden.....

& I am so in love with her amazing swedish rustic style!

I could literally browse her blog for hours.....

to find amazing ideas to DUPLICATE!!

I am so enamored with her use of white

and how stunning it looks.

her accessorizing is.....nothing short of...fabulous....

right?  I thought you would agree....

her ideas on thrifting & little projects

are super creative & inspiring!

I think that is part of the reason I am so obsessed with her site....

it's so fun to see another persons view on thrifting & such...

someone from half way around the world...

here's a little project she did with

some vintage pant hangers....

paint the whole thing black....

cut out a piece of black construction paper

stamp w/ cute little white stamps

add a vintage family photo

and a ribbon.....

and hang on an absolutely charming hook....

{and guess what I found the very next day, after finding this.....yep....a whole slew of them at the goodwill dumpster store!! I am going to make a few & thought I might put a few on Etsy so if you want....you can make one too!!}

and because I think you are all fabulous

 & because you literally bring me joy with your sweet

comments & love.....

I'll share another to die for project of hers!!!! 

you see the little tray above right??

you can pick these up very inexpensively thrifting....

paint it white....add a beautiful french soap

and a few flower petals....

do you love me now???

are you ready to run right out & find a tray

and some french soap???

holy moses ~ I am!!

Ok...want some more????

you will love this too!

plain little tray....seen a million of 'em thrifting...

not terribly exciting until...

you paint it white....and display vintage salt and pepper shakers on it!

~*~

OK.....ONE more to get you completely chomping at the bit to make some cool stuff on this wintery day....

fairly non-descript candle holder & tray....

until you glue them together....and....

add a candle w/ a little wire holding a little crown...

nestled in a bed of greens....

see what I mean??

and if you are loving all this, as I am....

guess what?

she has a book coming out!!!!

soon!!!!

so after you get back from the thrift stores...

or I guess maybe right now since you

are still on the computer.....;o)

get yourself a cup of herbal tea &

head over to her site for some serious yummy eye candy....

lantlif

have a fabulous, inspiring week!!!
