{ finders keepers }

So ladies here's the thing.

I shop, it's what I do.  

Consider me a personal shopper.

I shop for me, I shop for you,

{if you visit my little etsy shop}.

Sometimes I find amazing treasures.

Herein lies my ongoing dilemma.

If I love it can I keep it,

Or is it my duty to share?

Here are a few of the 

GOODIES

I found today.

first I found this pretty little glass carafe

{ glass is my weakness }

then there was this little lovely

more glass {{ squeals of excitement }}

and this mid century glass canister.

{ more glass }

later, I found this cute little guy

{ ceramic, kinda glass }

when I got home,

I found this pretty glass carafe,

in my china cabinet from a previous

shopping trip.

Another glass carafe found previously.

Then I did this....

This is the arrangement I ended up with.

I think it's quite lovely on my kitchen table.

Much more interesting than the single

uninteresting vase I had there before.

I'm going to justify this keeper 

by saying how hard it is to ship glass.

It's heavy, and it's not cheap...right?!?

Remember that cute little doggie planter

way up there above.

Well, let's just say he probably 

won't be found in my shop anytime soon.

Sorry Gals, but this little fella is mine.

That's my other big crush...

dog figurines. 

{ sitting ones, lying ones, flying ones }

I love them all.

Here he is sitting on my

sweet vintage table,

in front of my ironstone pitcher 

of new and vintage knitting needles.

Right beneath my fantastic new lamp

filled with new and vintage yarns

{ the vintage are from my own great grandmother's collection }

Isn't he just the cutest.

I think so anyway, and I think he's found 

his forever home.

He fits right into my new studio

{ more pics to come of the redo soon. }

Here's to Finders Keepers.

*peace & love*
