Foreign Doses Of Inspiration::

                            Where do you go for a daily dose of inspiration? I'm leaning towards foreign blogs myself these days. It's not that I dislike my Friends here in the states. It's the differences and similarities that I'm drawn to. The connection of my Dad's home abroad where, one day I would love to travel to. Here are some favorites as of today. Also,I do have some on my Blog list of inspiration on my sidebar. Check those out too :)
                          Vita in Swedish means white. Who doesn't like Nordic style and decor? So, while searching I noticed alot of Vita.Bring it on! Here's my list of three from Sweden.
     1. Vita Hemligheter

     2. LANTLIF
        http://lantlif.blogspot.com
     3.Vita Ranunkler
         http://vitaranunkler.blogspot.com

       LANTLIF is a member of Pinterest. Her work is fabulous. I'm not sure if the other two bloggers are on Pinterest. Worth looking into when I have more time.
       Also, I noticed when I was blog hopping some foreign blogs don't have a google translate button. That is one reason why my blog contains one. My stats show that I have a significant amount of traffic from other countries. Don't get me wrong I enjoy the daily dose of inspiration. I don't judge foreign blogs who don't have one but, for us Americans it's something to think about.
        It's a rainy day. The thrift shop is on my mind! Hm? Have a great Saturday everyone. Maybe it should be a Vita kind of Day :)

Lace Is On My Mind::

Some, lace I purchased over the weekend in Saugerties. I was informed by my Hubby that the scissors are hair cutting scissors. I thought so too. Just incase you're a bit confused by the vignette. Hey, scissors are scissors. Right? I can't get enough of sewing notions these days. If you are on Pinterest one of my pin boards Lace and Doilies includes lace. Look me up if you're a member. Maybe, in my next life I'll sew. Now, that's funny.
It stopped snowing here and this am. I have a delay. Yay! I guess I'll go pin some more. Have a great day.

White Textures::

               White textures.... white wood, rusty white, white window pane, white tin. Just white. Are you with me on my white journey?
 Can you see why I'm drawn to these? "Beauty lies in many eyes." Thomas Moore once, said. I'm a believer.
                     Are you a believer?
                 Have a great Tuesday everyone!

Lazy Morning::


              I hope you've been having a good weekend so far. This morning I'm a bit lazy. After all, the flea can do that to you. Always, hit or miss these cuties by McCoy made it home with me from the flea. The cute puppy looks how I feel this am. Sleepy...
            If you live nearby the quaint little town of Saugerties, NY it's worth a drive. Great little shops and so many choices for dining. A shout out to Faye from Saugerties Antique Center. It was nice meeting you yesterday. Faye's Daughter will be opening a shop called, Steamship Alice. Look for the grand opening located on 105 Partition St soon. God luck Gals!
           Have yourself a wonderful Sunday ;)
                                            By the way, Good Morning!
