White in Every Room

Every room in my home has at least one little touch of white here and there. I have chosen some of my favorite white vignettes...let's go room by room... White pearly buttons in a pretty vintage jar marked Paris - New York on the bottom. And a sugar bowl pin-keep made by me. This sweet little grouping is in my craft room. I also happen to be in love with this little mirror-so versatile for vignettes!
My ever-growing collection of old clocks ~ also in my craft room.

One of my all-time favorites ~ white ironstone!!

This pristine arrangement is in my computer room.
This pitcher and bowl and little peek of my one and only yard long resides in my bathroom.


Cute little doggie figure and white topiary on my living room mantle.



I have one deep red wall in my dining room and it makes my white pitchers and little creamers really POP!!




I found these cute little animals at a shop this past spring. I'm not sure what they were from ~ an old toy farm perhaps. But I love them ~ so sweet!!

These barnyard babies live in my kitchen!


I'm sharing these whites in yet another celebration with Faded Charm's White Wednesday!!
Thanks for stopping by ~ Julie

Vintage Clocks

A short while ago, at one of my favorite junk shops, I found two old clocks that I thought would make great junk projects! My original intent was to take all the "innerds" out and then use them as display cases.So far I haven't had the heart to take this one apart. I cut the old cord off the back, but that's as far as I've gotten! I'm presently using it for a book-end!
Maybe someday I'll find something cool to do with it. But for now I'm enjoying just havin' it around!

This next one is in kinda' rough shape, so it should be an easier target for a make-over!


First, I took the face off and will save that for future use, or just sell it as is. Clock faces have really become a hot commodity!


Then I "stuffed" it with some vintage goodies that I had laying around. It really makes a cute little nook for what-nots!

I toyed with the idea of painting it black, but I may just stain over the scratches and leave it at that!

Pretty cute I think!

I'm linking up for the first time with Linda at Coastal Charm for Nifty Thrifty Tuesday! Since I found these clocks out junkin' one day, I thought that qualifies!


Thanks for stopping by and now I'm off to get my linky and visit all the other thrifty blogs!!
