Antique Finds & Random Happenings

I  have to begin with a shout out to Trader Joes for carrying the most gorgeous peonies at incredibly low prices. So nice for those of us who live in hot climates to be able to treat ourselves to a bouquet. Reason #937 that I love TJ's!

While at the Uber Chic Home container sale, I bought this marble table. It's such a great size, not too small or large and will work nicely as a side table or nightstand. Plus, the base is incredible!

My little brass bugs were my grandmothers. They're actually individual ashtrays and their hinged wings lift up….

I don't think they were ever used for their intended purpose because I can't remember her ever smoking. Usually they're at home on The Man's desk but I think they make a fun display for summer.

The tiny birdcage was also a find from Uber Chic. Another dealer was scooping them all up and I was afraid I might not get one…but she was very gracious and let me bring one home. I love how they were stamped with the initials…wonder if it was the seller or buyers initials? Anyone know?

And lastly…I have to show you what The Man bought while I was away at the Farm Chicks Show. Two more baby girls! We only needed one but he didn't want her to be lonely. So sweet.

They are both Ameraucanas and will lay blue/green eggs. We still haven't named them yet…if you have any suggestions please don't hesitate. We're running out of ideas for names. Also, completely random thought here but…I think I would like to be a professional baby chick photographer. Just little peeps…nothing else. And maybe become the Anne Geddes of baby chicks. 😉

I'm going to leave you with some beautiful peonies to wish you a lovely Monday morning and a great week ahead! Thanks for stopping by! xo, H
