Box it up!!!

After two weeks of going through the house, sorting through closets and cupboards, deciding what to keep,  what to send to St. Vinnie's, and what to send to my booth...I think things are finally settling in around this old lakehouse.

I have been ordering things for my booth, "Seashells and Lavender".
Sometimes I receive items with slight flaws.
Either I send them back to the supplier, or sell them at a reduced price.
Sometimes....I keep the item.
Like this clock.
It has a scratch on the glass, but unless you point it out to someone, it's not noticeable.
So...............

Instead of sending him back, or putting him in my booth with his twin brother, I decided to give him a home here at the lakehouse.

While sorting things last week, I took the wine rack off the counter.
It has more of a Tuscany design to it....and it never quite fit.
He will feel so much better at my daughter, Melissa's house....with all the roosters, and grapes, and bold colors.
The old French pie cupboard is back in place of the wine rack.
She was so happy to be back in her old spot.

Sitting next to her linen friends, and slate signs.
You could almost here her sigh....aahhhhhhh.

The wine is now gathered in this sweet little cart.
The bottles seem happier now that they can snuggle closer together.
I'm happier, because this is more my style.....vintage.
I'm sure there will be more things that will eventually find themselves in my booth, or at St. Vinnie's....but for now, things seem to be okay.....except for those wooden mashers, and rolling pins over there....hmmmmm.

  2. Hi Debbie,
    I tend to do this too Debbie. I keep things that for one reason or another never make it to my booth. They just won't budge out the door no matter how hard I try! LOL!
    I love your pretty mantel with the clock. Love the wine storage too.

    hugs

  3. Hi Debbie, this is a great looking clock and such a pretty display. The scratch adds to the charm, which like you said is not even noticeable.

  9. Love the clock. Have a thing for them. I need to do the same thing here. Just not the energy yet, but its coming. Been able to more every day now. I am so ready to be rid of about half of what I have. Time...it takes time. Big plans for me and Craig in the coming weeks. LOL
    Would like to have things done inside before spring comes along and calls me outdoors.

  11. You have a movable feast of lovely objects in your home...no wonder you're addicted to arranging and re-arranging!

  12. I would have kept the clock also, its very neat looking. I think its the time of the year where you just find yourself going thru the home,,,spring cleaning, finding new spots to add the new things we find. And of course ridding things we no longer enjoy.
