History Repeating...& White Wednesday

Kate shoots and she scores...




this Vintage cast iron headboard made her debut at Country Roads


her patina is divine and outlined in the most perfect rust....





she is a queen size dream...




little vintage rusted iron pieces



{swoon}



display is everything "right" ladies...



the second space scores...


the new treasures this week

came from the Jamestown flea in Tustin...



then I scored this dream from

Sue's boy Bryce...



oh and she's a beauty thats why she came home

with me...





her age worn beauty had my name all over...




now she just needs some vintage hardware...





a vintage cash register drawer that I placed

on our coffee table filled with old family photos...


and last but not least my best score of the week!!!

 meeting the wonderful sweet & talented

Amy from Mittens

we planned on meeting at Country Roads



Amy's friendship over the blog has been such a blessing to

me and when we finally met I was giddy with excitement!

I even had a chance to hold her precious little boy!!!


this week I will be blogging about

"Truly Tattered" located in Tustin,Ca

much love to all of you

xoxo

    It's SO nice seeing the store I use to know, the store I use to work at until I got cooties!! I love your displays, they always look great. I miss all the displays at Country Roads and hope to be well soon and back by Friday, I hope! And I really, really missed seeing Amy!! I had so looked forward to seeing her. Thanks for sharing what I haven't seen lately!

    Take care, Sue

    Hi Kate,
    I sooooo wish I lived at least within driving distance. I love that headboard, I'm actually in the market for a new one and that would be perfect. Your displays are always fantastic, I just pour over the pictures trying to absorb the inspiration.

    Joyfully,
    Elizabeth Ann

    Howdy Kate,
    How are ya my friend? I'm doing MUCH better. I'm home from the hospital (2days now). Surgery went ok. After a 5hour surgery, they say that they got everything (we will know for sure on the 15th). Anyhoo, enough of that, lol. Your post today is, as usual, beautiful. I love the lil' girl statue. She's precious. You also gave me a great idea. I think I'm gonna place a vintage wooden butter bowl filled with family pictures on my coffee table (when I'm up and moving around of course). I can def. go threw pictures while in bed : ). Anyway, thank you for your friendship and your words of encouragement while I went through this. It meant so much to me. I consider you a true friend.
    Many hugs
    ~ Deanna
