Chippy is Best

 The age of this chalk ware bird is not known but it certainly is chippy. 

Chippy in the best way.

Under the chippy oval frame the bird is right at home.

Have I shared this thrifted oil painting? 

We picked it up from a beauty shop that was closing.

The shade on this lamp is best seen in the shadows.

The fur kids and I are staying warm by the fire.

 Hope all of you are warm and well.

Happy Weekend

Gallery Wall Part Two

Building a gallery wall is a little bit like having the measles.

 It's infectious.

The pictures are spreading rapidly around this corner.

I picked up the two small vintage frames, to fill the empty frame, on Saturday at a junk shop.

These two pictures were added to the right wall recently.

 I framed the one on the left myself. 

I picked up that pretty gold frame (it had an ugly picture inside it) 

and knew it would work with that oil painting I had had for some time.

  Always keep your eye open for frames regardless of what is in them.

Stay tuned as I have blank wall space on the right corner wall.

I am on a mini vacation and am blogging from a fast food chain.

 Having problems too.

 I lost an entire post.

I hope you are having a terrific week.

joy and peace

Gallery Wall

 Adjusting the gallery wall oil paintings, prints, and frames has been

 an off and on summer passion. 

Not that I measure. 

Joe would use a level and a ruler. 

Every picture or painting is a thrifty find save for the central white matted one.

 The Talented B and I found the alabaster lamp in a junk shop. 

I had no cash and she sweetly paid for it. 

It is a good idea to have cash on you while thrifting. 

I have a more-is-more-style. 

I am not finished with the gallery wall or corner.

 It has gaps.

 I would like a pair of small oil paintings inside the vintage rectangular frame. 

 I am always looking for old oval frames.

 This is the other side of the corner and it needs more something.

That is CC at age three.

In Olive Out news I am doing fine after the procedure yesterday.

 I am staying in the house and being entertained by Gremmie and Shelley. 

Thank you, my peeps, for your comments and emails.
