~inspiration for today~

Hello there!

how are you all doing???

are you warm?  cold?  sunny?  rainy??

s.n.o.w.y.??

we've been fairly mild ~ 46 today overcast ~ with

a peek....and I mean a teeny eensy wheensy peek

of blue sky....

ahhhh ~ all I need

{well that's all I get so we'll call it "all I need" ;)}

my post has no purpose.....

none..... whatsoever.....;}

so I thought I'd just share with you what

inspires me today.....

did you know I love ticking??

bet ya could've never guessed that huh??

hehehe

and old clocks....oh yeah...

love those too....

~*~

sun alert!!!!!!!

holy cow!!!

it's out!!!!

~*~

excuse me ~ we get a little excited over here

in the middle of winter when the sun shows it's face!

I have to laugh ~ because my sweet 15 year

old "Madi" is soooooo her mom's daughter....

I guess a little ray of sunshine came into the

classroom through the window &

she blurted out "sunshine!" in the middle

of class yesterday!!!

don't think her teacher appreciated it much....

but seriously.....it is a big deal

we are sun-starved in the NW...

ok so back to inspiring things.....

can we talk chandys here?

and chandy's mixed with chippy things...

oh yeah.....love for sure.....

I absolutely love mixing chandys with

rustic stuff.....I haven't completely jumped

on the industrial lighting trend yet ~

because I am so in love with

chandeliers....

ahhhh.....just does something for the soul....

beautiful.

plank walls...vintage luggage...dress forms...

shabby bins.....

all in one shot.
