Many even have their shopping all done. I'm just getting started with my shopping.
it seems to sneak up on me so fast. I love all the buffalo plaid that we are seeing again.
I found some treasures recently and thought I would share.found an awesome old dictionary so exquisitly embossed made back in 1936. i feel like I really rescued that piece. the owner was in a co op and didnt even have it for sale. She was using it as a riser for a display ( which is a great use). I had the store owner call her to see if she would sell it and she agreed...

The reason I say I rescued it, was she said she was using the pages for crafting!
I would never. And I am a crafter. But I would take digital images of the pages and use them for printing out and crafting anything. I just could not harm the integrity of this fabulous old book.

I adore the gorgeous cover.
It has maps in the back of it.
I think it will look great with these vintage chalkware angels on the mantle.

<i>I have always been a fan of old book decor.</i><br />
<i>I think half the fun is searching for books in the colors that you are decorating your home, and combining them together. </i><br />

If you can never find a bookend that you actually like for your bookshelf, then take a look at this cute idea. It is 2 old books tied together with a little bit of twine and some chalk paint, and an airplant for added interest. </div>

the airplane doesn't require any care, it draws moisture from the air. Occasionally I will wet my by just touching it with a few drops of water or a mist. The books hold up fine to. that because they are painted with a layer of chalk paint.</div>
<div>
These are so cute to use on your mantle or bookshelf and fabulous as a centrepiece for a table at a Farmhouse Wedding<br />

So today I got busy with it.<br />
<div>
Sometimes when people rent it, they move furniture around to their liking and take paintings off the wall to replace with stuff they like for the summer season.</div>
<div>
It has been looking a little thread bare lately so I decided to set out and gather all things soft, fluffy, shabby, white and lacy, and put myself to work! </div>
<div>
So first up are the before pics...<br />

By moving furniture to a different arrangement, adding a vintage urn, some fluffy pillows, and a big white fluffy throw rug, I have created an inviting spot that draws you in.<br />
<br />

The addition of a shaggy white rug, some vintage linens, pillows and a throw, complete the cozy comfy effect I was looking for.<br />

The best part is, all of these items were around either my cottage beach house, or at the rental, in a closet or tucked into the shed. Even the lamps were hiding in a closet!</div>

I love vintage bottles! Especially the Aqua or cobalt ones. I have discovered another use for them. </div>
<div>
Last year when I came home from St.John, I bought myself a little necklace as a souvenir and rather than throw it in my jewelry box where I would only see it occasionally, I decided to wrap that little necklace around a vintage bottle that I had on my kitchen shelf so I could look at it every day,<br />

What is awesome, is that the stones in this necklace are only found in the carribean waters. I forget exactly what the stone is called but it is such a pretty blue, like the water.<br />
Now, after coming back from a trip to Maui, I have decided to adorn a few vintage bottles with little handmade necklaces I bought on that fabulous island as well!<br />

The grass would always dry out from the hot sun, and it had sticky balls in it from the weeds we couldn't get rid of.<br />
<br />
This is how it was, when we first purchased it. In the background you can see the seawall. This is before the township put up the concrete promenade over the rock seawall.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

After a few years of this , we finally decided to rip all the grass out and completely EP Henry the yard.<br />
I love it now. It's like one big patio.<br />
<br />
This is how it is now. <br />

Even though that concrete promenade took some of my view from the yard and first floor, I've come to terms with it. I use that now to go for very enjoyable walks now down the coast!</div>
We now use the entire yard, every inch. All the way back to the fence, where we have a firepit for the cool nights in May or September. That table in the pic is actually the firepit. I love this because we can use it for a coffee table for drinks and stuff, when we don't have a fire burning.<br />
And my daughters helped me build that little wall (under the fairy)in front of the fence, to create a little garden.<br />
<br />
<br />

And then I decided that I wanted my porch to have more of an inviting, shabby chic, go ahead and fall asleep outside, feeling. So I gathered up everything I had around the house to transform it from it's slightly tropical look to a place where you just were dying to sit and relax!!<br />
First I started with the outside porch seating area<br />

Some pretty aqua glass candle holders from Home Goods, along with vintage bottles in ocean hues create a summery feel.<br />

Welcome FallI have searched for a small Mantle for my little Cottage down the shore for about 2 years.<br />
Most that I found were too big or too expensive.<br />
This one is perfect. it is just the right size , a great price, and it even has a metal backing.<br />
I adore it.<br />

I covered my TV with a lightweight, removable shuttered mirror which used to be in the bedroom.<br />
So easy to move<br />
And covered the boxes with lace which doesn't interfere with the remote, if possitioned correctly.<br />

And finally, at this time of year I like to bring in a little bit of the wheat colored sea grass that grows out back, for both sides of my new vintage mantle.<br />
I always lament when the blooms are full ...the summer comes to a close, but the gorgeous Fall weather will begin. And Fall is wonderful down the shore.<br />

Our leaves are just beginning to change a tiny bit here in Jersey, so the orange leaves will get added in a little later in the season when they do!<br />
Today is like Indian summer... 82 degrees and lots of beachgoers, unusual, but very enjoyable!!<br />

<br />
I love doing things with old windows, and doors. This 8 pane window became a huge piece of art by blowing up one of my photos of Sanibel Island into 8 printable pages which I attached to the back of this window.<br />

I gave it some legs from home depot and painted the whole thing in a distressed look.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The window was already greatly distressed, so the challenge was to get it cleaned up and slathered with a fresh coat of distressing to match the finish of the legs I'd created. </div>

I hope all had a grande time!<br />
I had 3 weddings to go to in the last 3 weeks of December, in 3 different States,...Florida, Virginia and PA... so Christmas kinda got snuck in there.<br />
But I couldn't resist posting a few pictures from this December 2012<br />

<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-LHjeNldiXJ7SwHRtYWtpZ3kiR05YixCMl6beQSh148s4twhFn30u8ZJjhA-o9-xFc8nUALUVhmRq47kstVzaT_XgpYbjboUvBMqJ2zufTISrwcas9AnALXxMcGCLuSYcGV2loFJD6l0/s1600/dining+chair+before.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-LHjeNldiXJ7SwHRtYWtpZ3kiR05YixCMl6beQSh148s4twhFn30u8ZJjhA-o9-xFc8nUALUVhmRq47kstVzaT_XgpYbjboUvBMqJ2zufTISrwcas9AnALXxMcGCLuSYcGV2loFJD6l0/s320/dining+chair+before.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
It's very easy to change out the look of any dining chair. The seat usually is held on by 4 screws.<br />
Once removed you can cover with whatever fabric you like.<br />
2 and a half yards of 54 inch wide fabric will do 6 chairs.<br />
<br />
I chose a french inspired fabric for my chair. After taking off the seat, I painted the body white.<br />
While my paint dried I covered the old seat with my new fabric by using a staple gun.<br />
When dry I added my new covered seat.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

And my daughter is also doing some painting. You can see her work on this cute little blue table with a birdie design.<br />

I have been squeezing in some projects, and I do mean squeezing.<br />
Thinking it was time to expand, I have another space I rented at Cape May Antiques, on Laffeyette st. It's in the same general area as my first spot at the North End Garage in Cape May, and I've been busy filling it.<br />
Here is a peak at a couple things I have recently re-done.<br />
A Coastal Magazine rack<br />

I wasn't sure what to do with the small trow at the top that I suspect was once used for knitting needles.<br />
So since I haven't yet mastered the knitting thing, I filled with shells!!<br />

Since Piknic isn't available anymore, I have been searching around. I like this site because it is pretty simple.<br />
<a href="http://www.photocollage.net/" target="_blank">Photo collage .net</a><br />
<br />
I uploaded some of my painted pieces and made a collage out of them. They are all sold pieces.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://img844.imageshack.us/img844/1302/collageb716125d36ebde98.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="512" src="http://img844.imageshack.us/img844/1302/collageb716125d36ebde98.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
I really should make a collage of how these pieces looked before I painted them.<br />
<br />
I also made a collage out of my most recent paint project which is done with Annie Sloan Loius Blue, which I added my own white chalk paint to to create a paler color.<br />
I was trying to achieve an effect that reminded me of driftwood. Especially because my booth is in a coastal community.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://img845.imageshack.us/img845/9364/collage73fdb9b4fa4d6483.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://img845.imageshack.us/img845/9364/collage73fdb9b4fa4d6483.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
I am happy with the result. The drawers slide beautifully for an old bureaux. I love this piece and it is hard to part with.<br />
Can you guess which one of these pieces only cost me 12 dollars?<br />
And which was a side of the road find?<br />

The 4th of July is a great excuse to sprinkle on the red white and blue.<br />
The sunporch at the beach house gets a dash of red white and blue from some old pillows, I bring out this time of year.<br />

The window down at the Cape, was looking a bit shoddy at the North End Antiques,<br />
Basically because the window recently broke so has been a little understated in the decorating department.<br />
I decided to go ahead and add some Patriotic flare, anyway, so I gathered all the different Patriotic items I could find and went to work. I love the Land of Liberty plate.<br />

At summer's end the beach grass on the bottom left of this pic will be taller than the shed roof and have big fluffy blooms, which I love to see but always means the summer is drawing to an end.<br />
This picture was taken 14 days ago and now those grasses are already up as high as the window ledge!<br />

There is a big storm brewing and it's super windy so I am really hoping she doesn't get battered. The beach is just beyond that seawall and it is blowing sand like crazy!<br />
It is so windy I could even go out there to take my pictures, I had to stand in the back door way!<br />
So I cropped and zoomed, to show you this tiny little bush only 2 feet high. I'm sorry it's not a perfect picture. It's a very windy day!<br />

I heard that when you cut roses, if you cut down to the leaf that has 5 leaves it will flourish best.<br />
Does anyone know if that is true?<br />

I got them at Christmas time ! Just now opening the shore house. I was shopping at Ross in December and came across these big fluffy ((perfect match to my sofa)) chair cushions for 5 bucks each!!
