March is Here. I still love Ground Hog Day after all these years. Both the day and the movie. The movie is vintage and classic at this point.


Why don't I get sick of things and redecorate? The plate is up above the door casing as you leave the living room. (maybe made in Germany or USA)




The picture is in the hall enclave above a pink bench. Giving the appearance of being under the plate. These are definitely companion pieces. The picture is much younger.



The two mint tins are two of my favorites and have been in my collection for a long time. Especially fav the one with the pink bow. Tins are great for inside storage.




Do you have any favorites you can't get rid of? Do you redecorate or rearrange your homes?

I do have the tendency to move every 10 years or so. That is when I totally redecorate everything. I think the being comfortable part comes with the vintage part. Not sure.

I have always wanted a parlor. I remember the one at the Fullerton Arboretum. I don't have a room to designate but maybe I can carve out a place somewhere. 

Your thoughts for March?

Garden Scene that De-stresses. Patio Dining Lots of Choices outside Antique Station, Orange & "My Window" Space #42









The angel and yellow rose are by my porch. It's like taking a deep relaxing breath just looking at it.

Lots of dining options and a street (Glassell) with tables 7 days a week. There are a number of cuisines to choose from. Starts at corner of Glassell and Almond and goes up to the Circle.

This is right out our favorite mall Antique Station. You can see my window $42 with new Sale Sign.

Orange, California...stop by.  Good area for walking. Masks required.

Tributes to Junk Style by Melanie Molesworth.

French for second hand store. Doesn't that sound so nice?
Old kettles & pots can be used not just decor. I have moved my big, old Farberware fry pan across country with me a few times. Best pan I have. Solid.
Tableware. Now you have time to set a pretty table. All you have is time.
I would like to find these to add to my kitchen.
They used to be doorstops after being irons.
Sewing Room.
She shed.
Religious never goes out of style.
This looks European but early American too.
Much like the bed I bought off Craigs List.
When I went to school in Huntington, WV I had a tub like this. Old brick house.
I love big pictures in bathrooms.
