Dominoes

2010-05-22T16:37:00.000-07:00

Today on Etsy's front page I saw a listing for vintage dominoes, and boy that instantly brought back memories of my grandparent's house. My sisters and I always liked playing with my grandma's dominoes. She always kept them in an old pocketbook and my grandfather kept the checkers in a sock, in his sock drawer. No kidding. Funny, huh.

Here were a few of my favorite listings for vintage dominoes, from top to bottom:

green again

2010-03-11T13:34:00.001-08:00

Here in New Hampshire it's been a beautiful week until today which is very gray. But our ground is still covered with snow and there haven't been any major signs of spring. So if you're in the same boat come view my treasury and breathe in some GREEN--until you can see it for real in your back yard.

vintage linens

2010-03-10T20:15:00.001-08:00

I spent my day taking photos of these beautiful vintage linens. I don't think I'll be able to part with the pink tablecloth with the tea cups on it--actually both will be hard to part with.

Some of the above should make it into my Etsy shop tomorrow. You can see more pics in my Flickr account, here.

spring cleaning

2010-03-09T20:20:00.000-08:00

Spring is almost here--and with that is spring cleaning. Doesn't it make you want to put on a happy apron and act like Donna Reed?

I just put a bunch of vintage aprons in my shop. So, if you're like me and LOVE vintage aprons--go check it out. http://www.CharliesApt.etsy.com

home sweet home 2010

2009-11-20T10:28:00.000-08:00

Next year, in 2010, my husband and I will be building our first house...HOME SWEET HOME 2010 will be a place to collect inspiration for the interior design of our home. We are most likely going to use a post and beam kit house company for the structure. Inside will be vintage and colorful---perhaps a modern farmhouse twist--who knows really. It's all up in the air.

But, whenever I find something online that I'd like inside my home it will be posted on this blog. If you have comments or suggestions feel free to leave them below.
I love this area rug from the Anna Maria Horner collection. You can find it here, but save one for me! http://store.annamariahorner.com/bldaru.html

charlie's letter to Santa

2009-11-18T18:23:00.000-08:00

Dear Santa,
I have been very good this year--you can even ask my mom. No fighting, no arguing and I did all my chores--well most of them!

Here is what I want this year for Christmas: Vintage ornaments, snowflakes and buttons to trim the tree. A few treats in my stocking like these sparkly, glamorous jewels, lip balm, and a cute little owl. I would be the luckiest girl in the world if you would also bring me the perfect cup for my favorite beverage, COFFEE, and some gorgeous pink glasses to celebrate the holidays with my friends.

As always, I will leave you a plate of chocolate chip cookies with a glass of milk and carrots for your reindeer.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
Love,
Charlie
