A study in black and white...



black and white cat shaped tin boxes that recently sold in the Etsy shop. (I had a hard time parting with these beauties, being the cat lover that I am)...

a vintage copy of Little Women, a beautiful prismed candle holder (thank you, Jill!), and a button vase on the mantel...

my lady head planter, 1950's hat, and ceramic hand (all thrift store finds), also on the mantel...

some old family photos (I love the dated short 50's bangs in one and the old 40's car and legs in the other!) along with a vintage wedding cake topper from the same era...

a couple of vintage Bibles and an old religious statue (all originally intended for the Etsy shop, but I'm having a hard time parting with them)...

the St. Francis of Assisi wind chimes that hang in my office window, again, thrift store decor...

Baby (literally the baby of the family) taking over 18-year old Tiger's bed...

and Tiger trying to decide whether to let Baby stay or not...(she did. such a good Tiger girl.)

Pop over to see all the other Show and Tell Friday participants at My Romantic Home.

Have a great weekend, everyone!

Hearts are Wild

Just squeaking in before day's end to wish you all a Happy Valentine's Day!

 We spent a quiet day at home.

Baby spent much of the day lounging and sleeping with a smattering of mischief and eating tossed in for good measure.

The idea for this Valentine themed post came from Claudia at Mockingbird Hill Cottage. I'm sure you all know Claudia and her blog as it's very popular! For Valentine's Day, Claudia posted a picture of her handsome Scout who sports a big heart on his side. It turns out our Baby also sports a heart on her shoulder so I asked her to pose for you today. (Thanks for the inspiration, Claudia!)

Here's Baby posing with a heart that Claudia made last year. Who knows - you may see something similar in Claudia's new shop in the future (ScoutHarper is Claudia and her sister Meredith's new ETSY shop!). Right now the shop is stocked with gorgeous scarves and shawls handmade by Claudia and Meredith. They plan to add additional handmade and vintage items in the future!

Here is Baby chowing down (so she'll have plenty of energy for her wild shenanigans later on). You can be sure I'll share them with you in future posts.

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!
