Take Time...

A torn page found in a dresser with a poem full of meaning entitled "Take Time"

***********

Take Time to think...It is the source of power.

Take Time to play...It is the secret of perpetual youth.

Take Time to read...It is the fountain of wisdom.

Take Time to pray...It is the greatest power on earth.

Take Time to love and be loved...It is a God-given privilege.

Take Time to be friendly...It is the road to happiness.

Take Time to laugh...It is the music of the soul.

Take Time to give...It is too short a day to be selfish.

Take Time to work...It is the price of success.

Take Time to do charity...It is the key to heaven.

A little chilly makes us silly!

 The chilly is making us silly...new and fun items are making their way in today! But we just adore our choir boy statue...sing us a merry tune little one! Lots of Christmas arriving, ready to be enjoyed, wrapped up and loved!

Oh, seriously. This cupboard is a beauty! Old thick wood with an exceptional chippy patina, wood finish top, and original green glass pulls...just love.

This mannequin has a lot to say...words of inspiration and hope-filled messages.

Eww...love a great pew! This one has simple lines to fit in any decor, or on the porch with a cozy Christmas display. And we love this OLD chenille tree with bucket base!

This metal piece is so neat...the kind of item that doesn't take up space, and tucks away those things you still want to enjoy looking at when not in use.

Gorgeous wooden cupboard! Glass doors, perfect in any room, and just the right size! And we adore the tapestry hanging from it, too! Dramatic colors and an enchanting scene...

No need to worry about the brrr...when you have vintage fur!

Olive bucket perfect for your tree? Yes, please! Bring us a European country Christmas any day!

We think these lavender soaps are just so lovely...Pre de Provence soaps beautifully wrapped and tied up with a bow...ready for gift giving!

Vintage vanity flair! Love the look of the dreamy creamy, a large beveled mirror, and lots of room for those special treasures.

A bottle brush tree, is a bottle brush tree, is a bottle brush tree? I don't think so! Each one is individually incredible and we love them all! New items are arriving daily with everything from vintage Christmas ornaments, Christmas ephemera, and vintage paper houses, to furniture, smalls, and so many unusual treasures ready to wrap up with a big bow and put under the tree! We just have so much fun this time of year!

In a daydream...

What a day for a daydream...

We're daydreaming a little today - dreaming of all the things that transport us and inspire us - things like white honeysuckle and baby jasmine drawer liners...mmm...

things like a wonderful variety of bath products that are so serene and soothing...

Sinking in a creamy boudoir chair for a place to sit and rest for a while...just to daydream.

 day·dream

n.

A dreamlike musing or fantasy while awake, especially of the fulfillment of wishes or hopes

intr.v. day·dreamed or day·dreamt (-drmt), day·dream·ing, day·dreams

To have dreamlike musings or fantasies while awake.

A sampling of our sweet little curtain pins...because daydreams are all in the details.

Daydreaming of far away places...with a giant vintage school map of Europe, you can almost jump right in.

 Daydreaming of a slow bike ride on a long dirt road...

 Daydreaming of ways to see things differently, and enjoy them even more...

 Daydreaming of sailing away into the deep blue yonder...

 Daydreaming in colors that capture...

Daydreams of drippy prisms, chippy paint, white, and sunlight...oh, that we'd have just a few more moments before waking from this delight...
