shopping on facebook

Do you do Facebook?
friend us: just a bed of roses
if so.
Many times we show
what is new in the shop.

I bought this the other day for my
side entry which is next to our kitchen,
which happens to be a lighter shade of
green than this.
 A 1920's ice box from Ward Co.
The purple bottles and granitware
too are from the same era.

Kara Elmore on facebook was selling it.
It's fun to have facebook friends,
hope you join us, let us know for a
10% discount on an item of your choice
next time you visit.
(unless it's already on sale).

This grouping is just across from the icebox,
the old Hendrix birdcage is from the same era also.
(my husband loves crocks)

Spring cleaning:
Our back room will be open again ( Friday
and through April) 
organized into 5 and 10 dollar boxes,
some one dollar.
Easter is on sale
among other things.

Architecture Styles of Italy - Implementing Decor Into Your Home

If you've ever been to Italy then without a shadow of a doubt you've not only fallen in love with the country, but the architecture too! The architecture in Italy is stunning and eye-catching, to say the least. From iron to brick, and other elements, architectural pieces that are either from Italy or are replicas from the country remind us of the enchanting country. All of these pieces also look beautiful in a home. If you're in need of some inspiration on what pieces to add to your home for the spring time, then look no further than some of these ideas mentioned below and images of Italy.

Once you can envision your home with similar elements, not only will you want to visit Italy to see it for yourself, but you'll want to stay at Tuscany villa rentals in Italy where you'll be able to experience this gorgeous architecture up close. Plus, you will have the desire to redecorate you home and find architectural pieces from Just a Bed of Roses (yes, we have them in our shop too), to decorate your interior conveniently.

Viewing brick and pillars in Italy will make you feel like you're a part of a grand piece of history. When you decorate your home with brick and other architectural pieces, you can bring Italy to your home. Arches and pillars are a great way to bring some Italian flair to your interiors. Place select pieces on your patio or in your garden depending upon the look you are trying to achieve. It will look outstanding! 

Authentic vintage pieces are usually just as affordable as reproduction pieces. Take a Saturday drive and explore the country roads, farmhouse sales, and local shops. There are also antique shows in Italy that you will want to experience as well. 
{via}

Remember that even though you may not be able to visit Italy right away, you can create a home that's Italy themed that will look beautiful. Make your garden space inviting and full of architectural pieces that catch your eye. Decorate your interior with vintage pieces that remind you of your travels. When the time is right, head to Italy yourself and enjoy staying at a romantic villa while exploring the countryside! You'll perhaps find some vintage pieces and more that you can bring home with you.

Photo above is sweet Lorraine and her daughters booth.
Since her husband is a contractor it was so Neat...framed and covered
in chicken wire with a large architectural piece as header and twigs.
Filled with Vintage pieces... I am sure she had a happy ending!
Lorraine is a member of the Beehive Art group.
Displayed Perfectly
Congratulations Lorraine!

among my favorite things this week:
Green smoothie girls PLANT BASED Protein arrived.
I ordered all three flavors since she has a sale
buy 2 get one free.
On a scale of one to ten
it's a 10.
This is ultimate healthy.
I make no money on this...just sharing the joy!

Speaking of JOY...
Over the week-end my dad had an emergency...
meaning emergency room visit & over nighter at the hospital.
He is home and stable...but now we have pacemaker issues.
The day of his emergency (because the emergency was at night)
 he insisted my sister find a slide projecter and screen.
(15  plus chest pains and did't think to tell us about it.)
They found one on ksl.com instantly...MEANT TO BE, for sure.

among the multitude of 50's and 60's slide show:
This is my mom's oldest sisters girls
Connie. Gayle and Nan on grandma's porch.
( I just did a blog post about grandma's front door last week)

They are with their daddy here.
The POUTY BROWN HEADED GIRL...is ME.
I have a little granddaughter who has my middle name JEAN and I'm pretty sure
my oldest son will agree we are twins!
p.s. this was in the late 50's and the only pouty photo I saw of myself.
we watched home slides... hour upon hour
and I don't think I have seen any of us laugh and be so happy like that
for a long long time!
PRICELESS.
If someone is sick or elderly
what a great idea...to pull out of the boxes all their memories.

Pinkettes...love pearls

It's fun to play in my workspace at home,
this is using our new velvety florals,
pearls and vintage.

Travel case, I replaced the mirror with a giant
rose with hydrangea's in velvet, added an antique
rusty lid and vintage papers rolled up.
The little sacks of vintage crochet in
many spring colors are for selling.

Pink and cream vintage collage


Old frame used for clipping photo's.

This is me sitting on my grandmothers porch.
Thinking I was about 8 or 9,
just looking at the door gave me some feelings
that brought tears to my eyes.

I have so many memories inside that door
of cousins, aunts, uncles, holidays, birthdays,
and just something to do on sundays.
 Many of them have passed on.

I can still see all of the furniture
as it was then, the piano, the food smells.

The laughter
my aunt Lynette who always had to do everyone hair.
(and compare who had the biggest boobs)

Do you ever think about your grandmothers front door?
I hadn't for a long long time.

My mother told me today that she feels her sisters
who have passed on around her.
I'm so glad,
she needs that.

Pretty quilted vintage hanger with velvety roses

I also worked on some chalkboard items
they will be in the shop
thursday.
(sorry the cream frame I am keeping, but
the other items are for selling.)

Get Healthy Before Spring Time!

With spring time just around the corner, it's time to get healthy and think healthy! During the winter it's easy to settle in and get used to a routine, but that routine may or may not include exercising, taking multi-vitamins, or eating healthy, for example. If you've struggled with some or all of these throughout the winter time, it's never too late to get back on track and come up with a regimen that you will stick with. It may seen challenging at first, but it will definitely pay off. Here are some ideas to get you going: 

Be Careful with Your Food Selections: 

It's easier said than done, but when you're at the deli or a fast food joint, don't pick the worst thing on the menu. Eat in moderation and go for healthy foods such as fruit, vegetables, fish/proteins, foods that will feed your body with the nutrition it deserves. Over time picking healthier foods off of the menu will become a habit and your body will thank you for it! 
{via}

Take Your Multi-Vitamins: 

Do you take multi-vitamins regularly? Multivitamins are excellent vitamins to take and are also important for your body every day too. Of course taking multi-vitamins does not mean eating less veggies, fruits, whole grains, proteins. You should be eating healthy and also taking daily Nature's Best multivitamin supplements simultaneously so that you will receive the best benefits from both your food and vitamins. 
{via}


Try a New Fitness Class: 

If you're getting bored with your fitness routine or don't currently have one, perhaps it's time to implement one. Find out which classes your gym offers and sign up for a few. You may find a Pilates class that you love, a Zumba class that allows you to have fun and dance, or a cycling class that hits the spot. Whatever it may be, get moving! Getting fit before spring time will improve your mood, help you cope with daily stress, and allow you to develop a positive fitness routine! 
{via}

Don't overwhelm yourself with must-do activities. Learn to relax and enjoy the spring time while staying healthy. It will be worth it and your spring time will positive bloom both outside and in your life!
