Dilemma!!!! I found that cute door and have run out of wall space in my little house so I need some help and your opinions! I put the door where I had the ladder and like it but not sure if I like it better than the ladder.  What do you think?????
Ladder?????




Door?????

Ok update I think I have found a perfect space for this door. 
I think I like the door in the back of my dining room leading out to the deck.  Now I can leave the ladder in the living room.


I thought I would share some pictures I took at the Flea Market. Here is the lovely Jennifer from http://www.jenniferrizzo.com/
 I know a lot of you follow Jen and her blog. She is the sweetest and I always love to see what treasures she is selling at the Flea Market.

Adorable little bistro table and chairs.  I was thinking about this one for the garden this summer. Tooo cute.

The lovely Julie Norkus she always has the sweetest treasures.

Julie has the cutest wedding things.  So any of you planning a wedding she has the cutest stuff.http://www.julienorkus.com


Look at those sweet pinwheels. 

My girls from the Perfect Pear!!! Their both always smells so good because they sell these amazing candles that make everything smell so great.  Look at that cute pillow!!http://theperfectpear2.blogspot.com/

Loved this table and chair set but no room for it so I just looked at it for awhile in it's cute chippy sweetness.

 These are a few pictures from the Kane County Flea Market yesterday.  It was a grey day no sun but  64 for the temp and very windy but so much better than snow!!!

Thanks for your input on the door/ladder dilemma
Have a great week end.

A big hug and a thank you.  In my first year of blogging I have become friends with some of the sweetest bloggers.  Today when I got the mail (which sometimes is the highlight of my day!!!) my mailman Jim said "I have a package for you". Woooooo Hoooooo love when I get something besides sale flyers and bills in the mail.

This lovely package was from Debra at Commonground. http://www.commonground-do.com/
  She is the sweetest ever and I know a lot of you know her and how helpful and kind and talented she is. She is one of those special bloggers in blog land.  Even though I have never met her in real life I just feel like I have known her forever. She is truly an angel.

 When she featured my vintage bike( the one in my header) many months ago on her blog I was so new to blog land I did not even know how to do a link back and she was so patient and kind and told me how to do it and did not make me feel like an idiot. Which I felt like many times in the beginning of starting up my blog as I was trying to learn and navigate blog land.

You know there are no classes on starting up a blog or places to go to figure things out on a blog you just kind of learn as you go along.  Sometimes a sweet veteran blogger like Debra comes to your rescue.

Debra sent me this beautiful necklace today and I had to show it to all of you. Debra not only has a beautiful blog but she also sells her one of a kind vintage jewelry pieces on Etsy.  http://www.debrasvintagedesign.etsy.com/

Thank you Debra for this kind gift I received today.  It made my day.  I am going junking tomorrow to the flea market and I will wear it with pride and hopefully it will bring me luck to find some treasures.  Debra I am so glad I met you in blog land you really are one of the sweetest out there.  Thank you I am blessed to call you friend.  Hugs!!


Debra uses vintage keys with some bling added and vintage little jewelry charms to embellish.  So so pretty. My camera does not do this pretty bling justice.

Look at the vintage clock face and cross and pretty heart charm.

Debra added some rhinestone bling on the key. So pretty.

I have to say right in the middle of my day I get this sweet surprise.   This necklace also reflects Debra, she is kind, talented and spiritual and this necklace reflects those beautiful parts of her and her life.  Thank you Debra I truly love this necklace.  Please check out Debra's blog if you have not yet (I can't believe anyone out there does not know Debra's blog!!!!) and her Etsy shop. She has a lot of really cute  one of a kind necklaces.

Chippy Goodness!!!!!
I went to my one of my favorite shops yesterday Tattered Tiques and I found this sweet little bundle of chippy goodness. You know how I have a love affair with old chippy doors and this one was love at first sight. :) :) :)

This old door needed to come home with me.  I have not figured out what I will do with her yet or where she will end up but I had to have her.  So into my car she went.


I love that she had all her parts still attached!!! Look at the chippy door knob and key hole.  It has the identical knob and key hole on the other side of the door.  This door is chippy on both sides and in all the right places.  This was a great treasure. Now to find a good place for her in my home.  I may have to have the hubby build me a new wall when he comes home since I am running out of wall space!!!! Ha Ha!!!  He will love that!!!
Kane County Flea Market tomorrow.  Wooooo Hooooo hopefully more Chippy Treasures to bring home!  I think with the weather finally decent here in Chicago land I am hoping some of my favorite vendors will be at the flea this month.
Have a great week end.

Great little nest and eggs made into an old zinc mason jar lid and then she added the spring bird and cute handle and a little bling to the ribbon. Becky also sent me an extra little bird that says Joy.  I love that Becky uses cute little touches to make her stuff so unique.




My little angel is lovin the spring bird nest too!!!

I am dreaming of a nice day filled with sun, warmth and birds singing.  I can't wait to fling open the windows hear the birds singing and work in the garden!!! We are still hanging onto Old Man Winter here in Chicago.  Man he is overstaying his welcome. Time to go already!!!!

Anyway I thought I would share some pictures of my garden from last year.  It just made me excited to look at last years pictures and feel good that maybe just maybe we might get to spring and summer here soon!!!!!!







Just like in my house I love to put architectural  pieces in my garden scapes too.

Oh to see my lovely chair again.  I love to sit and read and relax on that sweet chair.
  

 

 





Even the hubby's shed get's some summer love.

 
I can't wait to stop and smell some roses!!!!


Oh how I can't wait to plant and start my watering cans back into service!!!!
Enjoy your week.
