Yeah really! More like tired Tuesday! Our princess woke us up at 1am this morning saying "daddy, I'm sick". Nonetheless, we are pooped out! LOL But she's feeling better thank heavens! :)
Soooo, yesterday after talking with my Shabby Twin for a few hours, she let me know of this AWESOME sale going on here! Sooooo, since it was a holiday and dh was working on taxes, I decided to go shop...by myself! LOL A rare thing! LOL Anyways, I totally stocked up and got these! Are these just the cuuutest? OMG and they have no laces! LOOVE THEM! Navy blue for Joshua and Camo for Mattie! I also stocked up on Polos, Bermuda shorts and this adooorable top for Chayce and some new capris for her too! WE love ON!!!
Sooooo this morning I decided to play with some pics! Here's some new pics of some cute stuff in our boys' room! After four years of trying to decide a theme, I think it's narrowed down to vintage puppies and cowboy stuff!! I had this vintage Breyer horse lamp when I was little so I sooo wanted it in their room! And my dad framed this sweet yard long puppy print! I have several more thick framed art to hang too! But my favorite is this old chippy original aqua shelf! It's sooo like from an old barn! LOVE THAT! Soo rugged! Since they share a room and have vintage oak matching beds, of course they had to have matching quilts. I had been trying to decide on some I loved and even at this awesome place just wasn't totally thrilled yet. I finally found them! Right here! LOL And on clearance? For real? Certainly! And the colors sooo match their frames, their wooden beds, old wooden high boy dresser, lamp, aqua shelf and more, these were just "the sets" to buy!!!!! And corduroy! LOOVE THAT!!!!! Sooo Mattie is still in a toddler bed! LOL So we are buying him a brand new mattress soon and setting up the other antique oak bed. So their little beds will so match! How cuute! But here is their ever growing collection of antique dogs, cars, etc. I seriously LOVE to find stuff for their room! Chayce's too! At tag sales and flea markets, looove finding old vintage treasures to let them look at and enjoy! Just fun! I've collected these over the years even when Josh was a baby. Just fun stuff to hunt for!
The stuff for the boys' room is so cool, Jenn!

LOVE those little vintage-y things (giving me some ideas on how to do our new room for my boys). Funny, but I wasn't feeling the love at PBK either. And we are getting these new bunkbeds in a sort of honey maple color (we have such a small house we gotta maximize the floor space) and LOL I am making some corduroy quilts...how funny. Same sort of colors (except I have some orange in mine!!). Thanks as always for the picture and the fabulous ideas!!

Ok, now that you're done with your boys' room you have to come to Germany and do mines, LOL........you're so talented. You should give interior decorating lessons. Seriously love the direction you're taking for your boys room. Ciao.

Shabby Jenn~
As a fellow shabby enthusiast~I am a lurker, true. But I need some help. It was total kismet today when I read your blog and saw the library card. I am throwing a baby shower for a friend who wants to "stock the baby's bookshelf" with children's books as the theme. I have tried and tried to locate real library cards to use as the invite, to no avail. This is the next best thing. I tried it out and they look darling. I just wish they were an actual check out card rather than a catalog card. I have a question for you if you are ok in replying....

Just wanted to say thanks to you, my wallet is empty! Kendall and I went and did a little shopping at Old Navy today after reading about your bargains! ;-) We also stopped by Payless Shoes and she picked up 4 pairs of stylish flip flops. Poor thing... she has my shoe weakness!
