J*A*N*U*A*R*Y ~ While We Wait...
J*A*N*U*A*R*Y
A time of waiting... A time of envisioning...
Come Mid-January our living spaces look quite sparse with all the Holiday Fussies now packed away... Our rooms become a *Blank Canvas*... With so few Flea Markets in our area during Winter, I tend to work with what I have... I re-visit Personal Vintage Furniture pieces along with my Stash of Shabby Adornments... Freshening rooms with paint, adding new towels, pillows, lampshades, re-arranging furniture pieces - ALL THIS HELPS ME in making decisions "to pass this & that along" at one of my upcoming SaLes...
Small Little Touches - like adding some live flowering
bulbs in a basket, help me make it through the cold long
winters here in the Midwest...
Bright... Cheery... Hopeful...

I like to keep my decor Plain & Simple during
these first few months of the new year...
I search for new decorating ideas via Pinterest &
cozy-up with inspiring Magazines...
I begin to make lists of what I might be
On-The-Hunt for come Spring when the Flea Markets are in full-swing again!!!

With Valentine's Day
just around the corner, I added this time-worn
ViNtaGe Heart Brooch with re-cycled gingham bow
from a girlfriend gift...
The addition of this darling little ViNtaGe BiRdiE
reminds me that Spring, although yet far away
