Fresh Weekend

I'm a flower farmer! Well, at least I am on a flower farmers tractor and on his flower farm. Yesterday was spent in the very beautiful Irish Hills area where both sets of parents live, the landscape is so different than where we live although it is only one hour away. The Irish Hills area is verdant rolling hills and large fields and not a lot of anything else. We drive our friend to his parents house, his father is a flower farmer and has nearly 100 acres and this totally cool old tractor! Since the Farmer's Market was Saturday he had a ton of left over flowers that he just GAVE me, this entire bin of flowers! I don't even have a enough vases for them all, so I used some Ball jars as well as vases.

I got this great credenza this past week at a thrift shop for $15! I am still hunting for a lampshade for the lamp.

I got this ladderback chair at a thrift store this week for $30 and it's the new signature piece I am using to
inspire the style switchover I am doing in my house. The chair pretty much sums up what I am going for
- simple, natural, and minimally rustic. Sort of French country home meets Shaker meets Scandinavian.
If I can manage to marry these styles, I'll be really happy.

I went to my mom's house I once again found all kinds of things I have had a hankerin' for, such as an antique black clock and these little mounted animal antlers, so she gave them to me and now they live here in MY house! I am a very serious house mode these days, (the pendulum always swings from house mode to fashion mode, and I am at it's mercy always). I brought my mom a bunch of photos that inspired my "home make over" whereupon she decided she wanted to go for the very same style. This is not good because it means all the things in her house that I want to "steal" for this style in my own house, she'll also want. Nonetheless she let me have a whole bunch of stuff that amazingly was on my list. My mom's house is seriously a treasure trove and almost every time I want something, she seems to have it some nook or cranny of her giant house. I could not believe she had the antlers of all things! So once again, instead of clothes I have posted some even more fresh vignettes of the house and it's new elements, and all the free flowers, in action!
