All Hail the Queen


Happy Monday!

Firstly, thanks so much to each and every one of you who wished me a
Happy Birthday!
It was a great birthday weekend, but now it's back to the business of blogging.

I still have so many images to share from my fabulous time spent at Antique Week
in Round Top / Warrenton, 
so without further ado, please allow me to present the Bedding Queen of Warrenton,
the lovely Gloria of The Sweet Pea Collection.


Last month I was fortunate enough
to spend a bit of time in Gloria's divine space,
and once again, she did not disappoint.
I can't recall just how many times I stopped and said to myself,
"Wow...I've never seen that  before!"


She is a true original and an innovator of the highest order.
And you can bet that when it comes time to purchase bedding
for our new home (which will be soon!), 
Miss Gloria will be getting a phone call from yours truly.


So please, pull up a chair, and enjoy the magnificent





 Never mind the crazy chick in the mirror.




 With Gloria around, there's absolutely no excuse
for ever having an ugly buggy liner again!












 Gloria, if you're reading this, this pale green bedding 
leaves me absolutely weak in the knees, *sigh*.



The way she incorporates natural elements into her displays is positively ingenious.









 This!
The honeycombs as plates...I've never seen anything like this before. Creative genius.











Isn't she amazing?

And remember, if you're ever up near the Dallas area,
Gloria is also the mastermind behind the cutting edge, concept antique mall,
so be sure to pay her a visit.

Hours: Wednesday - Saturday 10:00 til 5:00

Have a wonderful week, more Warrenton images to come in the days ahead!

The Best Birthday Present...


...is time spent with good friends.

Of course I already know and love Jodie like a sister, but this  time, 
I had the privilege of meeting The Man.


Miss Everything Vintage and her hubby
were in Fredericksburg for a big-time gathering
of Corvette couples from Louisiana this weekend, 
and they had a packed itinerary...
so I consider myself super lucky to be able to spend
a bit of time with these two fabulous friends!


And they got to see the  house!

I only had my cheap point and shoot, but
Jodie snapped tons of pics with her fancy schmancy camera, 
so I'm hoping to steal a few of hers once she gets 'em posted. 

{hers left, mine right}

Dang, they could be brothers, couldn't they??
Well, with the exception of the chandelier growing out of Thad's head.
Her man and my man got along like a house on fire, 
so I think I foresee a road trip to Cajun country in the not too distant future.

It's been a crazy hectic birthday week for me
(the actual day is tomorrow)
so I've been "doing" and "living" instead of blogging, but I have oodles of new stuff
to share in the week ahead.
So come on back!

Have a beautiful weekend!

Now Taking Donations...


It is almost my birthday week, after all.


Spotted in Warrenton two weeks ago.


My, how I wanted one of these babies to take home!


Warrenton version: around $450


Close to $1000.

See honey, I just saved us a bundle!

{hehehe}

Happy Weekend!
