If You Love Pink, Feminine, & Vintage Check This Out

I linking up with sweet Debra at http://commonground-debrasvintagedesigns.blogspot.com/ for Vintage Inspiration Friday and Beverly athttp://howsweetthesound.typepad.com/my_weblog/ for Pink Saturday. I'm inspired by the more feminine vintage things! I've noticed that most of my collections are very feminine inspired I just love anything girly from small compacts to dress forms. Not to say that I don't love things that are totally different such as a wonderful industrial piece, but most of the things I have collected our very feminine! Hope you enjoy looking thru a few of my girly collections!

I could just see someone wearing this hot pink hat with the hot pink shoes above, I bet they would turn some heads!

I just love these sweet ballet shoes! I found these at the Antique mall where I have a booth at Winnie & Tululas!





Can you tell how much I love vintage hats!

Theses last 3 pictures are all the same dress, and in every picture I took they all came out a different color! That goes to show I don't know much about taking pictures, but at least they didn't come out a green color like some of the pictures I take!
I hope you enjoyed my vintage pinks today! Be sure and go over to Debra at http://commonground-debrasvintagedesigns.blogspot.com/ to visit her and all the other participants! Tomorrow I'll be linking up with Beverly at http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com/my_weblog/ so hope you will visit her and all the Pink Saturday participants! Hope you have a wonderful weekend.

A Vintage Farmhouse Christmas

Be sure a mark your calenders for Laurie Anna's Vintage Farmhouse Christmas. It will be this Saturday Oct 23, from 10 am - 3 pm. I know it's going to be spectacular with beautiful vintage inspired Christmas decor everywhere! Your sure don't want to miss it!
I bought these 2 gorgeous pictures at Laurie's last month. I normally only buy true vintage pictures, but I thought these were so pretty and very vintage inspired.
I've never seen a hat quite like the one in this picture!
Here is a peek at a few of the things I will be taking to Laurie's for the next Canton Trade Days weekend.
I just love burlap I think it looks great just about anywhere! Hope you get to make it out to Laurie Anna's for her Vintage Farmhouse Christmas, remember it is this Saturday Oct 23, from 10am - 3pm.

My Very First White Wednesday

I'm excited to be joining up with Kathleenhttp://fadedcharmcottage.blogspot.com/ for my very first White Wednesday! I wanted to start with one of my very favorite things to collect. I can't hardly resist these beauties when I see one. I'm proud of myself this time though, I've decided to add this sweet little cherub to my website! I just don't have another spot for anything else!
This is another thing I can't hardly pass up if I can find them priced right, a lot of the time the vintage baby shoes are just priced to high for what I want to pay for them! But I got lucky with these.
I love putting these pillows together, I just love mixing all the different laces together!
This is one of the photo's from mine and Lynda's, studio, (Lynda is my blogging partner) she doesn't get to blog much due to having a full time job and a part time job teaching! You will be hearing from her soon though as she is fixing to launch her new website, and will have some great giveaways coming up the first of Nov.
I have 2 of these cherub plaques hanging on the wall in our hallway, I told you I just can't resist them. Well I hope you enjoyed my whites today! Please be sure and go over to Kathleen http://fadedcharmcottage.blogspot.com/ and visit the rest of the participants!

I Love Leopard Print

I just love leopard print, it can be used in so many different ways and it goes with just about anything, you can wear it or decorate with it!

I really love this leopard print rug. I think it would go in just about any design, shabby chic, country, french, paris apartment, modern.

Great on pillows too, I think a leopard or animal print pillow adds a pop to any room, again no matter what your decorating style is!


I'm in love with the chair in this picture, leopard print and French!!!

Gorgeous chairs with the rich color of the leopard print!


This is one of our new small shoulder bags, inspired by Leopard print we will be adding these and more to our online boutique! www.daphnenicole.com
This is the back of the shoulder bag!

Another leopard print inspired purse! I love these colors for the Fall months!
This is the back of the bag, with lots of leopard here! But the next picture was my inspiration for the leopard print post!
This is Amerberly Ann, my precious little granddaughter. I keep her 2 days a week and this is what she had on one day last week when she arrived. OMG I thought that was the cutest little outfit, I just love it and you couldn't have a prettier model to show it off.
This is Amerberly and my daughter n law Kelly! Now tell me have you ever seen anyone look so cute in leopard before! Hope you enjoyed the Leopard review!

Inspiring Beautiful Rooms

I love this kitchen, the shabby chic/ primitive island and cupboard are just gorgeous. I love mixing elements like these primitive pieces with the more elegant look of the beautiful chandelier! You can also tell that the owners of this kitchen are collectors! I'm so excited to be linking up to sweet Debra's Vintage Inspiration Friday at http://commonground-debrasvintagedesigns.blogspot.com/
I love everything about this dinning room, from the gorgeous table and chairs to the architectural element, the lady statue, the column with the urn, the gorgeous painting of the lady, and the stunning chandelier! Theses first few pictures has been my style for many years now, not that my kitchen looks anything like these gorgeous rooms, but now I'm really liking the less is more look, just a simply look like in the next picture!
I think this dinning room is so elegant, it's so simply, but decorated with these gorgeous pieces, you don't need a lot of things to go with it! I'm loving the more simply look, now I'm in trouble because I still also love to collect, and love all the things I've collected over the years, and believe me my house is full of all of my little treasures!
I found this room in the magazine and it's also another favorite of mine!
But then I found this, very simply, but beautiful room! I don't know what decorating direction to go now, I'm leaning towards a change to go more clean lines/ simple look.
Although I'm loving the more clean line look, I know at this point in my life I still want to keep all of the things that I have collected over the years, but I do have a plan for whenever I do redecorate. I have a little unfinished cottage outside of our home... I have plans of turning it into a great space, and I can house a lot of my collected pieces there, they will be out of the house, but I will still be able to enjoy them! I'll be showing you my little unfinished cottage soon! I would love to hear what your decorating style is! Please stop by Debra's from http://commonground-debrasvintagedesigns.blogspot.com/ to visit her and all the other participants.

Barn Chick Meeting

I'm excited to be joining in on another Barn Chick Party! I'm posting early because I'm going to be out of town for a few days. This time it's being hosted by the very sweet Julie Marie of idyllhours.blogspot.com , for Karen of Brayton Homestead Interiors, my linky thing is not working, it seems lately I have so much trouble with this thing, and no time to set down long enough to figure how to fix it, but thanks to Karen, she's going to link me up!

They were actually having a garage sale here, and the first thing I spotted was this wonderful old wagon, and thought it would be great to put with my Barn pictures!!!

I just love this old barn, however looks like they put new doors on it, not to fond of that, but it's still a cool old barn!
Side view of the barn!
The rest of my barn pictures, I couldn't get very close, just click the pictures to enlarge!


Thanks for stopping by, be sure and go by idyllhours.blogspot.com for a list of all the other participants! I'm going out of town in the morning, but I will make my rounds and visit everyone when I get back home Saturday.
