Has it lived a Prior Life?

I ran over to Lezlee's a little while ago,

and found out she is having a party!

Uh huh, a

Prior Lives Party!

And we're all invited.

Lezlee's livin' up to her name and asking people to share

objects that they use that once had a "prior life",

or was used for something different than what it is now.

The first thing that came to mind was my sweet little

 Staffordshire Commode.

Now, I have to admit that it IS at home in the bathroom.

But now used for extra t-p and soap.

I"ll refrain from any blatant bathroom humor,

except to say,

 it DOES have a large crack on it's bottom.

Now, go visit Lezlee and see what you have to share

that might have had a Prior Life!

If you haven't seen my post on "Tattered Treasures"

a new store in Lebanon, Missouri,

please scroll down to the next post.

Have a great weekend,

love,

Debra

A Visit to "Tattered Treasures"

On our way to St. Louis last weekend,

we took some time to stop at a store I had been wanting to see.

Tattered Treasures in Lebanon, Missouri.

I'd  heard great things about it and sure enough, it didn't disappoint.

We didn't have room for much, because our car was full for the trip.

It was a chippy, white, garden extravaganza!

Primitive, shabby, cottage yumminess...

...at every turn.

please disregard the people in the mirror.

There are tons of great flea markets and
antique malls along I-44,
Springfield to St. Louis.

Be sure and google Tattered Treasures
for a map and phone number.

Hope you all are having a great weekend.
It's rainy and cool here. Oh well,
I have tons of cleaning and organizing to do.

I will be sharing my work space at the
Where Women Create Party
on June 19, which is also my 1 year
blogging Anniversary!

Hope you'll be there too!

I will be having a Give Away to celebrate...
Stay tuned!

Love,
Debra

What a "Sweet" Pea

The mail lady made a special delivery today.

A box from Shelley of  Sweet Pea Home

who had a wonderful multi Give Away last week!

I had such fun opeining up the boxes.

This note card is definitely "frame-worthy"

Gorgeous tags,

Nesting boxes in the most beautiful cream and taupe

A pocket journal,

a vintage "D" stencil,

Hot cocoa body lotion...
Oh My...

it smells so good I don't know whether

to wear it or eat it!

And a note pad with vintage silverware graphic

And look what happens just as soon

as I put my new goodies away...

A lazy cat takes over.

Ahhhh, a vintage linen towel just for her napping pleasure!

And if you haven't been over to Fiona & Twig,

Anne is having a Fabulous "French Country" Book Give Away.

Be sure and check it out.

Hope you're having a wonderful week!

love,

Debra
