My Life in a Tiffany Bleu House

I painted Marie's Maison Tiffany Bleu as a reminder that this is the best jewelry box I ever received!

A Lil Bit of This - A Lil Bit of That

While at Anthropologie last week, I found a collection of vintage softdrink bottles they have in their home decor section. Supposedly, they were from an "old bottling factory" in England. I thought they were cute, so for $16 bucks each (ouch), I only bought one.






The thing I like about this bottle is the color of course, but also that there's a marble that rolls around inside.





The color of the bottle blends well with my collection of vintage Ball jars





And I thought it specially looks nice with my not so old trompe l'oeil wall decor which is a vignette on the right side of my bed.





This is the wall that I look at when I turn to my right side of the bed.










Another vintage find I bought recently is this kitchen scale. For an old scale, this is in such mint condition so at $30 greens, it was a good buy for me.











Talking about vintage, let me introduce you to the newest dealer at Olde Ivy Antiques, she's located on the left side of my booth. She has an awesome vintage/antique collection and at her first month as a dealer, her pieces are flying off her space!








Meanwhile, my space is still doing well (thank goodness), and I always keep it full especially this time of the year since we get many tourists here in Carlsbad Village by the Sea.





The collection in my booth is always a mix of vintage and modern, a bit of eclectic mix for everyone. Just like my home, I have a lil bit of this and a lil bit of that! Here's a new piece I added recently, a cute garden gate armoire.





And a couple of vintage metal ware, like this 50's metal cake carrier





Then more modern decor items like these beach theme which the tourists like to take home





And lastly, a vintage men's washstand that I sort of modernized by changing the paint color from the old mahogany brown to fresh cottage blue.















Merci everyone for visiting, hope you enjoyed reading this post! I'm sorry about the lack of posts and comments. It's been so crazy busy for me this season and I'm really struggling about keeping up with my blogging. I hope you understand.
