*aDvEnTuReS oF a CoLLeCtOr*

Collecting is an addiction! I love it! I wish I could buy everything!!! Whenever I walk into an antique mall, shop, or a vintage boutique I get alittle giddy and all warm and fuzzy inside! Is that normal? Please don't answer if it's not!!! I get so much inspiration just looking at how everything is displayed. I actually want my home to look like these places! I'm sure my family would move out.... Hey, now that might not be to bad! Hahahaha.. Just kidding.. Anyway, here's a few pictures of my Sunday "window shopping" adventures! I have more pictures and this adventure will continue!!! Enjoy....














































Oh, I have won a blog award from this sweetie~http://http://designsbyck.blogspot.com/ I have to think of 7 blogs to award, so I'm going to have to think about this because I never saw a blog I didn't like!!! So, that's soon to come too...
Check back tomorrow for more of this adventure, and a give~away is coming Friday!!!!
*xoxo*

A Magical Glow

I just love this time of year!! Everything is frosty on the outside, but everything is toasty on the inside!!! Grab some hot cocoa and relax!
I never really liked oil lamps.... Now, I can't get enough of them!!!! I think I have an obsession!









I love having them lit all at the same time throughout the cottage.. It's so cozy!









Now this, I can't wait to get rewired!!!! I find it really to be shabby, but I LOVE it!!!!!

Tomorrow is an antiquing adventure..... Stay tuned!
