Pairings

Found this sweet box

on Ebay or Etsy last week.

Cannot remember which,

but it was just too special to pass up....

that and it was plaid!

Kind of scuffed and tattered,

 hand-painted,

though not very old.

It's actually bigger than it looks --

much like a small shoe box.

Now that's what I call "chippy-shabby"!

Sweet enough on its own,

but when paired with

the little golden retriever

I found a couple weeks

ago in brass...

... it's a cute little pair, right?

Have you done any

match-making lately?

:)




P.S.
For the next two days,
I will be scouring the local
antique and vintage markets and shops with Jenn
in search of some new things for the shop. 
So excited to see what 
treasures are to be found!


Have to get in the "mind set"
which my friend Jeannie 
reminds me when we go out
to restock our shops. 


She asks me,
"are you on a buying trip
or a shopping trip?"

(I Shop for the shop, but I BUY for me!!!)




Some days there is
a very fine line. It's so HARD.
"Stay focused" she tells me!
Jeannie is much more disciplined than I.
:)


Keep you posted!
