I am a married mom of 4. I have always loved pretty things and as I have gotten older my collection has grown! I have an eye for vintage items that I pick up at yard sales, thrift stores and Goodwill. Only when I get home to "google" my finds do I realize the treasures I have found.

I collect vintage baby planters, dessert dishes, birds, blue toile plates, Currey & Ives artwork, vintage frames, vintage wrapping paper, cards, stationary etc.

I love looking at the lovely items on FLICKR and I get a lot of neat ideas from the wonderful artists here.

In my spare time I love painting, photography, reading and spending time with my wonderful husband watching college football & basketball.
