Show & Tell (part 1?)

Since it's been so long since 

we've had a chance to keep you updated each time we get new "finds" in, 

I thought I'd just do a little "show & tell"

of  just a few of the new things in recently.

Maybe I'll do a few of these posts to really  get you caught up 

(or, you could always just pop over and spend a nice long time

browsing the various departments

to see what's new!  ;)

Wanna start with these guys?

Two dapper men from long ago grace

these fun pillows that add a classic yet

whimsical look that any room 

benefits from.   :)

Love, love, love these

vintage-looking hand painted wooden license plates 

from Jeanne d'Arc Living!!

Even if you favor the white-on-white,

pale-on-pale schemes popular in the

magazine, this is the 

PERFECT POP of color

and has that yummy

vintage-y look we all love!

Look at this fun iron "planter"

centerpiece.

We opted to display it not filled with

various little potted plants

(but wouldn't a bunch of succulents look AWESOME in it?!)

but with various decor items for a 

unique display variation.

Pack it out with pillar candles of varying heights --

so gorgeous in next to a bathtub 

or on a coffee table!

In the kitchen this just screams to be filled with

fresh fruits/vegetables.

Near the front door to catch mail, keys, wallets, etc.

Leave it to nature to create truly

the world's best coaster.

Seriously, forget the tile coasters,

the cork coasters, the knitted coasters

(do they still make those...?).

These gorgeously thick slabs of 

natural, untreated birch wood absorb

whatever you dish out and then 

dry out to practically never even show that they

were ever wet.

SUMMER=iced drinks=you need these!

Another great use for these is one placed

under the spigot of those gorgeous tall 

party drink dispensers.

Those are fabulous for gatherings, but let's face it -- 

their spouts can drip... right on your countertop.

Problem solved.

Ladies, it's a jungle out there!

So our "Jungle First-Aid Kit" is perfect

for holding all your "survival" needs

(aka make-up/beauty essentials)

on the go!

Okay, you could also fill it with the

other

first-aid essentials....

(bandaids, wound cream, alcohol wipes,

aspirin, etc...)

and keep one in the kids' bathroom.

How cute is that?!

Actual military bags repurposed by us

for our own jungle warfare

(aka making it through each day with

our essentials at the ready!)

:)

Vintage architectural blueprints

(though most aren't blue...)

that were just too cool to pass up when

we saw a whole collection of them

for sale.

What can you do with them?

Wrapping paper, party table coverings,

framed or hung au naturel from clips,

or buy a bunch and just fill a vase or

urn with them sort of like

we did!

Obviously so much more to show you,

but this is a start.  :)

Happy Wednesday!
