So called shabby chic stuff can be found just about any where any more… its no longer tucked away and high priced boutiques and antique stores, but to me most of the stuff is tacky knock offs of true eloquently aged or floral items. On ebay some of the tackiest and cheap looking junk is selling like crazy, but I wonder when the room is done will they think hmmm this looks lovely or will they be calling “take over my make over” to fix the horrifically cheesy decor job, because they indefinitely missed the mark?! Also I have noticed that there are so many new items that look so awful because they have been over sanded to have a faux aged look so they look or intentional dents and dings that are so “shabby chic” right… WRONG there is a fine like between a beat up piece of junk and lovely vintage piece. I want to capture my idea of true shabby chic which finding anything any more is like looking for a needle in a hay stack… when I actually find a good piece its something like a mini orgasm… always cause for celebration!

Last night was crazy I did 4 scrapbook pages I only need one more and my book will be full already. I still have a ton of pictures to put in too. I am already bored with the papers I have though… I need to go back and fully embellish the pages but the basics and the photos are there so I’m happy!!!

Were going to look at a house today… we have been looking at houses for a while but we never really saw something that really seemed like “us”. The one were looking at today is a cute cottage type with and huge backyard. I am excited to go check it out. Also Loretta and her husband have been looking into getting a house but I don’t think that they will be able to due to credit problems and neither of them work… but its to bad because they could really use a bigger place, especially with two boys.
