The Weekend Was Like Buttah

I was able to put the finishing touches on my buttah dish this weekend.

I found the cute cow on Ebay.

I used some fun buttons I got from Anna, a new friend I met on Etsy. Yeah!

No one on the block will have a buttah dish quite like this one.

And also from Anna, these great plastic prisms that look awesome on a switch plate and maybe even on a fancy birdhouse next.

I also did some rearranging.

Jar o' frozen Charlotte parts . . .

Great baby found on Etsy.

And I moved my great mannequins from the living to the family room for everyone's viewing pleasure. Ha. (Found the great iron fenial at Antiques on Broadway).

And I am in love with this antique flamingo painting found at . . . where else? The Curious Sofa, of course. Dana pointed out the weird phantom flamingo that didn't quite get painted, very strage. I would love to know the story behind that one. All in all, such a fantastic weekend!

Quick Fix

I started home last night and my car just mysteriously steered me toward The Curious Sofa.

This chair would be great in my living room. She actually had two!

Loved these old Frenchie chairs. I wouldn't change a thing! (Love the old drawers, too)

Perfect garden chair.

Petite iron stone.

And now that I've found my family room chair, I need to work on a sofa. Hmmmm . . .

Spring Shopping Extravaganza!!!

I made a stop at The Curious Sofa on Friday to check out the Spring digs. To say we are ALL ready for warm sunshine and new buds on the trees is a vast understatement!!

There were lots of wonderful goodies to explore.

If red had any place in my decor, I would have to snatch up these wonderful "Alice in Wonderland" chairs.

Complete with worn velvet - I would not change a thing!

Lots of eggs, and nests, and burlap Frenchy pillows.

And garden-inspired pics . . .

This bedding was to die for, lush light pink with gray velvety detail. Sweet dreams.

And the store smelled wonderful with scents of Hillhouse Naturals soy candles in Fresh Cut Grass and Bloom wafting throughout.

And I finally found a family room chair to replace the broken down one I currently have (complete with some springs sticking out of the bottom). This one is big, fluffy and comfy!

And I ordered it in this Frenchy, scrolly fabric (below). Yipppeeeeee!!! I can hardly wait!

And a closeup of the great fabric.

And I had to take care of some things over the weekend in Fort Scott, KS and while I was there, I explored the Iron Star. Such a wonderful place! Check out the wonderful seafood tureen!

Great portraits and topiaries.

The garden display below complete with fountain was fresh and fun.

The styling in this store was really cool and when I complimented the shop owner, she got it just right by saying we're all just little girls playing with our things, fluffing here, and rearranging there. I couldn't get a good pic, but this ladder was hanging from the ceiling - what a Spring-y idea with the topiaries and greenery strewn about.

Here's a couple views from the outside on this little town square with brick streets and Nat King Cole piping through speakers on the lamp posts (oh, and 68+ degree weather!!). Ahhhhh . . .

And I guess my meandering to the dark side of home decor has hit bottom. The only reason I passed up this tombstone that was for sale in an antique mall was because I couldn't lift it and I thought it was bad form to ask my mother to help me. Good thing because not even Jason was keen to the idea and wondered aloud about the grave that now stood without a headstone. True dat . . .
