junque la rue...foto shopping

As is the case with many American Families our disposable income well lets just say there really isn't much to dispose of currently.  However I love to spend part of my day  off browsing through a couple of local junque shoppes.
This past week I discovered my new favorite past time.   A wise person once said, Necessity is the mother of invention!    I invented a new way to shop.  It is a lot like window shopping but I get to take something home with me.  I went foto shopping! 
 I took $20 and my camera to the local junque shoppe.  The idea was to shop with my camera.  I took pictures of everything I would buy if money were no object or at least if it was more readily available. 
I had a blast! 
This is one of my favorite finds of the day!  The tag read "old french dough riser".  I have never seen one before.  I hope it's still there the next time I stop by and I have a little more cash in hand. 
Check back for more of my foto shopping finds!

the house that pottery barn inspired...it's a great day

The Dining Room table was inspired by my favorite catalog... Pottery Barn!






It's a great day when...the Pottery Barn Catalog arrives in the mail. 


It's a great day when...I find the page with the design layout that is going to be the inspiration for my seasonal decor.


It's a great day when... I can see my ideas begin to take shape.


It's a great day when...the project is completed. 


It's a great day when... I find a blogger with a kindred spirit.


It's a great day when...that blogger is offering a free $50 gift card to PB, to do what I enjoy doing which is to follow her blog, share her blog and blog about her blog and giveaway. 


So to my PB kindred spirit I say thank you for a great day!
