Ok, here goes... just a melange of randomness...
a pretty scarf i couldn't resist
isn't this the most yummy color, and it has these sweet teeny little wooden beads at the tips...
a pile of freshwater pearls, from a broken bracelet and a thrift shop cuff
thrift shop pearls, and broach, mixed together to make a funky necklace....
I love finding jewelry for a couple of bucks, and mixing it all up to make something new...
i wasn't sure if i hated this pin or liked it, but something in me told me it had potential... so i grabbed it just in case
fabulous fall pears, with brown spots
just like my face before makeup goes on - sigh...
anyway, i think the freckles on the pears are so adorable and fallish and that they're loaded with personality
this bench is from my friends shop "Fetch"
A pile of pillows, one a vintage coral thrift shop pillow, that i just love.
The old worn velvet has the best patina...
...and the fringe is so gloriously tattered...
an old cross i found at the thrift shop and updated with some good ole Annie Sloan paint...
this was such a bad color, but i thought... this could be really pretty painted white...!
I've moved it all over the house,
finally it ended up laying on the living room coffee table...
i kinda like seeing it just sitting there
completely unplanned
fall hydrangeas blooming... love these...
they start getting a blush of pink at the tips.. i can't think of the name of them right now...
dream catcher in an empty frame...
you are banned from noticing the picture wire behind the dream catcher... !
Yummy nail polish color i found on Pinterest, but couldn't track back to anywhere to find out the color name!
do ya'll know???
I want my hands to be all creamy white and pretty like that!
and finally, an insanely fabulous architectural piece i got from my friends shop
at a great price...
traded for a painting!!!
almost free!
i do the blog for her insanely fabulous shop if the voice there sounds a little familiar to you... smile
anyway, she really liked my little atmospheric beach paintings from the last post, and grabbed the smaller one for herself...
and really, she was just being very sweet and let me have it because she knew i loved it
and when i get some extra $$$$'s, guess what i am going to put behind the panes?
a mirror! won't that be pretty!
not my magic "mirror mirror on the wall" mirror that's behind the window now,
it will have to find a new place in my house because i kind of love it too
i will have the whole back side of the piece mirrored
Now that was alot of stuff! Sorry,
and i'm pretty sure i said "thrift shop" like 32 times in this post
anyway are hereby warned!
...If you ever hear me say random melange of stuff again...
you'll know what's coming
reminds me of another quote found on pinterest
i liked this quote, it made a mess of chaos sound almost wonderful instead of disturbing
and i think melange is my new favorite word
...the end...
Oh, love your new piece traded for a painting. Can't wait to see mirror behind it and where you put it. Also love the dreamcatcher in the frame--that looks awesome. I love dreamcatchers now--thanks to Tausha. :) Always love to see a new post from you. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteOh, forgot to say I really love the cross painted white. That was a great find!
ReplyDeleteCindy,
ReplyDeleteLOVE that chippy piece.YES a mirror would look gorgeous.
I think the name of that Essie color is "my private cabana".That is what it looks like to me.Pretty color.Hope you can find it :-)Pretty hydrangea's.I think I have the same variety you do.Mine are turning that same pretty color.I think they are called lime light but I am not sure.

The flowers are beautiful , love the pillows too, and the cross.....Very beautiful Cindy!!! Hope you have a lovely weekend!!
ReplyDeleteCindy... banned from noticing? Seriously... I thought that was the best part about an empty frame... the rusty piano wire against the wall!
ReplyDeleteI loved the randomness of this post. I expect to see a painting of those pearls and brooch! No. I'm not commissioning a painting. Sorry. But... I know you can paint something just as lovely...that is my expectation! :) Pat
Hi Cindy,
ReplyDeleteOh I love randomness, My life always feels very random! :-) The mirror idea... To die for, I can't wait to see, what a statement piece! I think this is your nailpolish color taken in a brighter light "Cute as a button" http://www.luuux.com/health-beauty/essie-nail-polish-cute-buttom.
Hugs,
Bella

ReplyDeleteI love pillows! The more,the best!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful bits of randomness.thank you for sharing. hugs and happy weekend wishes
ReplyDeleteThank you Cindy for your beautiful visit. I thought I would never figure this post out, you see blogger changed my site to the new (Interface) blogger page and I had to go through google chrome to even see the link for posting pictures. I don't get why they say its easier and a better blogger when I felt the old blogger was perfectly fine....Whew! well I made it through that challenge :)
ReplyDeletehas blogger changed your blog site to the new interface or have you already been up and posting with the new?
Cindy I have to thank you for your support and encouragement to what I create and the words that go along with creating :)
You my dear friend are a lady to love :)
xoxo
Beauty and inspiration to your weekend.
see you soon.

Reading your blog makes me smile, feel peaceful, and believe that beauty is attainable. Thanks.
