Favorite Things...a weekend at the "beach cottage"

A few of my favorite things this weekend...

We finally had a weekend at our "beach cottage" rental

without any big plans for a change.

So I finally started my Spring cleaning

& "found" my beautiful Kitchen Aid mixer & vintage blender.

I can't wait to get these up to The Farmhouse in our

remodeled kitchen (see the vision here).

I also had a chance to go to two local flea markets

this weekend...more like community garage sales. I found

a couple cool items:

{please excuse the ugly dark grout in our rental kitchen}

 a Fire King bowl that I've always coveted,

but is generally out of my price range

some local Meyer lemons ~ yum!

 a cute fish bowl

with a world of opportunities to fill it up

a bunch of really cool frogs for $0.10 each ~ best bargain ever!

and a couple heart cookie cutters

to add to my small collection

I also finished my first {make-believe}

product packaging design

~ Tin Roof Farmhouse ~

Vintage Market

Soy Votives

maybe someday it will be a reality!
