Time sometimes flies like a bird....

I cannot believe I have had my vintage booth for 4 months, nor can I believe that my daughter just completed four years of college, that I have been married 14 years (and 26 years in total if I count both marriages...hmmmm), that my daughter is 22, that I am 50.....time flies like a bird.....

Just two weeks ago (where did two weeks go?) I was watching my only child cross the stage at graduation....she looked beautiful and the hood and cords wrapped around her commencement gown made it such a bittersweet moment...so much pride, but she really is grown and my turn is really up!  I know I am still here for advice, but she has fledged....time flies like a bird....

Today I am posting in honor of another celebration of time..... Faded Charm has reached her 100th White Wednesday!  Her cream, dreamy white inspired blog has been posted 100 times! Give her a visit and celebrate her passage of time....in a beautiful way!!

Time sometimes flies like a bird, and sometimes for just a moment, it pauses....

Happy 100th Faded Charm!!

 

Creative flow....

I have always been one of those people that cannot force creativity. No matter the subject....writing, work, decorating, even grocery shopping for me is dependent on something bigger than I am. I can tell within minutes if I am "in the zone".....if whatever combination of events, karma, creative juices, planetary positions (heehee) are not right then creativity is out of reach for me.
Of course this applies to junking...and it applied in a big way this weekend. My first stop was someone who was not ready to part with her treasures as indicated by her prices....the second stop I found my ONE treasure for the day and after a few more stops I felt that ever familiar closing of the creative flow......I was done!
But, my one find was a biggie! I have been wanting to find a hall tree for a while and there must have been a very temporary opening in the creative cloud......bingo!

It needs a little structural work and will have to be painted as the varnish is too damaged in spots....that's where my mind has been....I was perusing Etsy a couple of days ago and was inspired by some of the paint colors and finishes that I found.....I have been using vintage whites and ivories for all of my refurbishing projects but now I am inspired....
