a very dangerous idea

Today I took a lunch break, something I rarely do.

I dragged my co-worker Jenny with me and paid a visit to The Spare Room.

It's a great little antique / flea market shop in Everett, just a 5 minute drive from our office.

Like I said...danger.

I only took pictures of the things I wanted and did not buy.

Not sure how that happened...but I'll take pics of the two things I did buy later.

For now, enjoy these lovely items that are still in need of a good home!

All this pretty chalkboard needs is a new ribbon to hang from.

It has no obvious home in my house, so I couldn't do it.

Oh, it was hard to walk away from.

This pretty was there 2 months ago the last time I visited.

I couldn't believe it was still there!

It is the most lovely pale sea green.

It has all kinds of organizational potential.

Maybe next time...

Ah.....Paris.

GORGEOUS.

This would look fantastic over a side board or in a formal foyer.

I don't have either, so again - it wasn't for me.

But I love it, and I hope that one day, this mirror - or one much like it - finds it way back to me.

Pretty.

Nothing like a big bowl of glitter covered angels...don't you agree?

I did buy a small tiered basket for the kitchen and an adorable winter farm scene painting.

I'll post those pics later...I love them!

It was a fun trip to The Spare Room but I was once again reminded why I go so rarely.

It is a dangerous business, this treasure hunting.

One more thing!

Last night, I copied her great idea.

Jane Eyre is now a lovely paper Valentine wreath on the inside of our front door.

It was just as easy as Flower Patch Farm Girl

said it would be and took just 2 hours!

I love it.
