For the LOVE of the OLD!!!!

Hello friends,
 
I was just lying in bed last night thinking of the upcoming shows we are going to be doing and all we want to accomplish before these shows!! I was also thinking of how we got into what we do....it all started with the LOVE of the OLD!!!!  I have always had this passion for old things...it always seemed so rewarding giving the "OLD" new "LIFE"! My passion I believe was passed down from my mom who took us to garage sales and was quite handy at repurposing items & still is today!!  My love for decorating & a BUDGET also contributed to my collections of old/repurposed items because it is affordable & I like to change things up!!!  If I always bought NEW we would be Broke!!!  I often have people tell me who come into our home that it has such a "homey" feel to it!!!  I believe that homey feel comes from all those Old/repurposed items that have been given a new Lease on life!!  I love when pieces have a story behind it..sometimes you know the story & sometimes you can just look @ a piece and imagine where it has been and the journey it has taken to get to it's new home!!! Below our just a few of the "old" items I have used in my home & gave them "new" life!!!
 
 
I hope you enjoyed the little taste of my Love for the "OLD" & how I incorporate it into my home!!  I have to admit the old FORD truck is not a part of my home, but it does have my heart!!!  It was my grandpa & grandma's & my mom and her sister used to drive it as well.  The old truck is ever so wondrous out @ my Grandparents farm just waiting to have new life again!!!  If it ever does get a new lease on LIFE I would not hesitate for one moment on getting behind the wheel!!!!  Hope you have a happy day!!  We have got to get busy for Beautiful Junque's show in Frazee this Saturday October 27th @ Frazee Elementary school 10am-3pm!!  See you soon!
 
Blessings,
Alicia & Carol
