Hi Girls!!! I haven't disappeared, just been busy with Spring cleaning and two of my little guys birthdays. I have some fun news and lots of pictures to share! I am so exited and honored to have my little 'ole blog featured in the current May issue of Romantic Homes Magazine!!
It has been a favorite magazine of mine for many years. My sweet mama and I used to spend lots of quality time together pouring over the beautiful pages of inspiration when I was newly married and just forming my decorating tastes, so it makes this opportunity extra special to me!
I have also been busy trying to make an area in my bedroom into a studio space so I can create again! I haven't really made much for the past two years, since my littlest one was born. I know all you mamas know how hard it is to find the time (and the energy when you do have the time!)
I have decorated my pretty white table with lots of vintage inspiration to get me in the creative mood and just to make me happy when I'm not. I'm kind of an eye candy junky. That's why I love to visit your blogs so much!
This vintage wallpaper covered hatbox is my newest find. Isn't it gorgeous? Yay for Ebay! I never seem to find them anywhere.
Some sparkle, because it's just not eye candy if there isn't a little sparkle involved.
This is a postcard I enlarged on my printer. I just think the term "heartiest greetings" is so cute and those roses are beautiful!
Yummy vintage hats. Love them...a little more than is normal probably.
A close up of my adorable little aqua cubby. It was a Goodwill find that I painted.
Loving my wall color, too! Now I just need to finish painting this room. It's been "almost done since last summer when our air conditioner broke.
My favorite vintage postcard. I think I may have to enlarge this one, too!
My baby doll head wearing the gorgeous vintage tiara my sweet mama gave me.
A fun little tag I made long ago....
and a few of my favorite things. My vintage candy box is so pretty I just have to keep it out all year long.
I have more to do to make this space a studio, but this was a fun start! I'm linking up with Debra of Common Ground for Vintage Inspiration Friday!Michelle xoxo

Hi Michelle,
Congrats on your feature in Romantic Homes. What an honor for you and one that is very well deserved.
I love how you call yourself an "Eye Candy Junky". That's the perfect way to describe me too. I can't get enough of that eye candy and your blog never fails when it comes to providing all that pretty eye candy that I love to see. You have such a beautiful collection of treasures and you always find such interesting ways to diplay them to their best advantage.
BTW...I just love your charming little doll head. I see ones just like it all over blogland and it's got me wanting to find one for myself.
Take care..
Kim
