Morning Light

 Today as the morning light came streaming in my window I told myself that today I would play in it's glow.   I quickly made up the bed and grabbed my camera and tried as I could to capture the feel of the morning.

 There wasn't much time today to sit and drink coffee in my cozy chair  I scurried around tweeking the room before getting ready to spend some time with my grandbabies.

 I grabbed roses from a bouquet that my daughter gave me for Mother's Day and placed them here and there.

 I am not so sure that I needed to turn on the light but I did.

 I had been meaning to add the plaque to my bed for months and finally today I did.

One last look before I go out the door.

I hope you have a beautiful day.
I am joining Debra today of Common Ground.

Bedloo...for all of your 2 choice questions.

Hello blogging friends,  this is my son's new website. This is a fun and simple tool that makes it easy for your followers to help you make decisions that are important to you.

I had almost given up on my blog.  In fact I have seen several of my favorite blogs go months without a post.  Why do you think that is? Have you ever felt that way before?  I know for me coming up with perfect pictures and then content was a challenge and took precious time and when I would come back to check my comments there would only be a couple of comments to my post.  It was always good to hear from those faithful blog friends but it would also make me feel like nobody else was reading. Have you ever felt this way?  But what I feel had really happened is that people like to look and time does not allow you to make comments  on every blog you visit and one can only say, " That is Beautiful!" so much.   We need a quick fix sometimes to give our blog a boost and I believe Bedloo is it.

#1 You don't have to scroll to the comments to speak up you can click to vote right on the picture.

# 2  You can remain anonymous with your vote.

# 3 It's easy and can link up with your Facebook, and Twitter, while continuing to drive your blogs exposure.

#4  It's fast and helpful interaction!

#5 It can help you to make the better choice before you dive in to a home/project and waste time and energy and money.

#6 It's free!

The above picture regarding the table was a decision we needed to make regarding an auction item my husband was building.  The vote so far has been for natural legs and so by just posting this  Bedloo we feel that it will drive the bids because we have built the most desirable choice for the auction.  

How helpful is that!

So give this a try my friends.

Vote on my table pictures please!

Fancy Flea 2013

 The weather was just perfect for the Fancy Flea held today in Lakeland, Florida.

 There were over 300 vendors set up for this wonderful market which is held twice a year.

  I would have to say that the crowd was more than likely a record crowd.

There were so many people that it was hard to take pictures so I found myself snapping them whenever I could and as fast as I could.

 My eyes found delight everywhere I could see when I could see between the people.

 I am always drawn to lace, ruffles, painted furniture, chandeliers and jewelry, hats, ironstone, and anything pretty!   I guess you could say pretty much every thing there!  What do you look for when you go to market?

 What a great chair!  

 Deb from Vintage Soul always rocks the market with a fabulous booth!

 I love this vintage prom dress.

The best part of the show to me is coming away with so many great ideas and of course all of the friends I see there.   It was a truly perfect day.

The next Fancy Flea will be in the fall.

Will you be there?

Bluebells

As a young child I looked forward to spring for many reasons.  The discovery of the first bluebells in bloom was always such a joy to me.  

 I loved their colors most of all.   The shades of blue and pink are so lovely together.  

 I would pick pretty little bundles and carry them to my Mother and my Granny and the lady who lived next door.   I was always greeted with a big smile a kiss and a hug.

 I was blessed to live next door to my Grandparent's farm in the country and every field was not only my playground but my flower garden as well, with Violets, Spring Beauties, Clover and Queen Anne's lace.  As I think back on what beautiful bouquets I was able to create as a child it makes me smile because the best part of those beautiful flowers was the wonderful joy of

NO WEEDING!

I wish you all a very happy Spring!

Wishing you a Happy Easter

Itty Bitty Pretty Weddings

One day after a long day of painting vintage furniture in my garage I came in to rest and started  playing on Pinterest which is my usual way to unwind,   I was taken in by a beautiful picture of a bride  adorned in a Magnolia Pearl dress and the setting for her wedding was in a field of clover by a beautiful lake.    All around her were wonderfully staged vintage pieces of furniture and decor.   As I looked up from the computer and out the window, my eyes following the path down to the lake just past the roses garden to the old iron gazebo and at that moment I knew a new adventure was just beginning.

My husband is ordained and can marry people and with a large amount of vintage goodies always at my command we have everything anybody could want in a small wedding venue.  So with this post I am pleased to announce the beginning of Itty Bitty Pretty Weddings.

What Would Donna Do?

 Today's Garage Sale Treasure was this wonderful Huge rusty crusty chandelier.  

But have you ever looked at something and wondered, " What would Donna of Funky Junk Interiors do?"

 I see something fabulous here but I don't know just what yet.  

Then again maybe all it should be is just a fabulous chandelier.

The wiring is on the bottom for the bulbs but I have no idea what the globes should look like.

I am very much open to your ideas.

I would love to hear from you Donna!
