Happy New Year! It's been busy around here at the Bungalow...the kids were off school for two weeks so we had lots of fun things going on - playdates, family gatherings, crafts, playing in the snow, gingerbread house making, coloring, etc.! I took down the Christmas decorations last week and have been tidying up. Here are a few new additions around the Bungalow that I thought you'd enjoy.
First, I received my copy of "The Vintage Table" by the editors of one of my favorite magazines, "Romantic Homes".... here are a few pics that have got me excited to pour over each and every page of the book:
Oooh I have one of those Coty bottles...mine's kind of rusty from an Estate Sale!
Cuteness continued!!! Look at those darling chairs..and those teacups! Beautiful!
Here's the book - on top of my fun stack of books I like to peruse before going to bed.
This little rocker I use outside in my garden during the summer but now I kind of like it in my living room grouping! I found that adorable wooden frame on my table at a darling shop in Lake Geneva, IL. I reframed a vintage photo of my daddy with his cousin and grandma from the '40's. It's a favorite of mine!
I also found this vintage "H" at another cool shop in Lake Geneva.
I found this cupcake in the Valentine decorations in Target. CUTE! Even though Valentine's day is a few weeks off, I may just have to put up some decorations now!
These two pillows are new. My dog Dover has destroyed a few of my fun pillows so I have been looking for replacements. One is from "The Victorian Trading Co." - they are online and also send me a catalog that I drool over.
Found these Scottie bookends at a resale shop that benefits an animal shelter. They're heavy and in good condition - $5!
These two cuties I found a place for. They were a garage sale find last fall.
New kitchen cutains a la Target! The Scottie dog stuff were Christmas gifts. Candles, yummy soaps, lotions and Scottie dogs - my family knows me well!
I had some fun dolling up this 7-up box on my kitchen counter.
This hook I found at Target, too! I put it in my guest bedroom.
That's all for now~ always some new changes going on around here! I'm always looking for a new way to freshen things up. Isn't decorating fun?
This is Mr. Dover dog and his sidekick, Miss Daisy. He is sitting nicely because he'd like a treat. He gets A LOT of treats. His favorite are the chewsticks with chicken wrapped around them like a piece of bacon only available at Target. They are ten bucks a bag - he eats about three a week!
He expectantly waits for the goods. My cabinet has TONS of scratches on it from him pawing at it to request a treat. Despite my generous treat-giving, he still finds mischief. He continues to chew on things he isn't supposed to - pretty much anything on a daily basis. He says he can't help it...it's in his Portuguese Water Dog DNA!
