Don't get the Blue Monday get to you...


Hey ladies...
It's Monday again.. miss all of you.. I've been missing for a few days..It's not because I'm feeling Blue... nope.. just need to rest and trying to get the mood to paint.. It's not that easy to paint but sometimes you can't resist to finish in that day.. even though you have to skip and leave my pillow partner ... Eventually I will do some other work crafts just to get back to the decorative painting mood... with some magazine, scrolling down and surfing internet and the best is if I get to watch the old english film... that will be the best touch ...
Have you ever wonder how to get all the vintage look in our home... what does it takes to create the look, does it take that much time... try reading some magazine... take your own sweet time, do not rush to get all these in your hand...go with your budget.. I've always told myself... if I can't get that teapot today.. might be there's a good will ... I might get it cheaper the next time... It do really works ... but patience are the most vintage in our heart... you have to learn to know yourself ... don't get the Blue Monday get to you...

Cake Platter

I don't really collect cake platter but this one really catch my eyes... It has all the combination strawberry and flowers... and the curves...Look at that, isn't it stunning...At first, there's a few ducky on the platter but...it suddenly struck me that I can't see the beautiful curves, the design on top of the platter... Now it's on my console table ...

I'm sure you have more catching cake platter than mine... I seldom go shopping, I'll just grab the one that makes me feel happy... Actually, I don't think I can sleep if I didnt bought it in the first place..You too, isn't it...

Blue Monday




















It's really a Blue Monday... I'm not feeling well.. just got flu and it is really disturbing ... I've been
sneezing since morning and sometimes I can feel that my eyes are popping out , might be I sneezed too loud... gosh.. few of my friend are worried.. worry that they might get infected...




I've gone to the nearby clinic and got flu tablets for day and night and some antibiotics...After taking the flu tablets, I felt a little bit drowsy... I thought it should not make you feel sleepy.. or might be I'm too sick...














I did simple folkart yesterday... while watching Sunday movies ... enjoy dear...






















I need to rest now... my pillow is calling my name...

My reading pleasures...








Almost all of my reading collections are vintage and romantic country magazines...Most of you are aware that I do love doilies..I've learned that most romantic homes should have doillies, china ware, lace, shades as per lamp shades..etc..etc..each collections should have their own character...with a cosy feel...
You can never out of ideas since you can get all the items anywhere.. from the cheapest of 50 cents to $$$... you can either have it handmade or just purchase it thru bloggers or friends...

For furniture... I love to redo and paint , give it a new look with a few touch of folkart...
Get a sprinkle of magic, compile the art from all bloggers out there... I've learned a lot from you bloggers...






Get to work with those beautiful fingers... and have a nice weekend... chao..

Look What I found!

I know you probably have one but I didn't. I really wanted it so much... but it was too expensive that I could just lay my eyes on it while window shopping.
Look at the teapot I found, It's Laura Ashley. I got it during a warehouse sale...it's 80% off... I'm so glad finally I got it.. it's now nesting perfectly in my kitchen...
I also bought myself a pair of lovely crochet and a lantern.. I will snap the photos and share it with you... I'll have to figure out how to highlight the lantern..there's too many ideas.. I would like to give it a vintage touch.. I'll crack it this weekend and see what it will turn out to be.. wish me luck...
