~my new fetish~

lately I have had a hankering for

 doilies and vintage wallpaper

doilies are being pulled out of granny's closet

and can be found everywhere 

recreated into anything from lampshades to handbags

bunting to bracelets

I have found oodles at my local charity shops..le cheapo to boot!

I always feel bad cutting them up as I know some sweet granny spent hours of love creating them.

On the other hand I never feel bad about cutting up my rolls of vintage wallpaper

just found a stash for .25 cents a roll 

I snatched them up so fast and ran out of the door before the store ladies could realize their 

true value 

Happy dance

{I felt like that lady in the old Ikea commercial......telling her husband to start the car and hit the gas}

a good day is even made better by

 a new panini maker.....fresh sour dough bread 

jalapeño havarti cheese.....plump tomatoes and pesto  

grilled paninis for dinner

the easy route
