Letters & Numbers

I have been absent from blogging since my lap top went in for repair.  It is now on it's fourth hard drive.  It's fixed now, but I was without it for a few weeks.  So, where was I? 

I can't resist buying letters and numbers .  I love the graphic and simple designs on game pieces, signs, containers, etc.  Here are a few photos from my collections:
 










And here are some photos of great items available on Etsy should you want to start your own collection.

Mini Tour - Living Room

I am featuring a mini view of some of the vintage items that reside in my living room. I will show the full view at a later date per encouragement from Jan at Gracies's Cottage. It's obvious that I love the graphic quality of black and white. Stay tuned for more photos.

Collecting

I love to collect colorful books and little bits and pieces of this and that. These collections are so much fun that I like to display them in my home for inspiration.  Collections are a wonderful way to decorate your home and surround yourself with the things you love.

Elkhorn Shopping

I spent a good part of yesterday shopping at the Elkhorn Flea Market. It was a beautiful day, so the vendors were out in full force - as well as the shoppers.  I managed to find some items for our Etsy shop.  Here is a preview of a few...

Fun vintage signs and a cute magazine holder.

A vintage bingo cage, hangers, sweet green bowls
 and an instant collection of skate keys.

And two shabby red stools for my collection.
