White Wednesday...

Start daydreaming...

Anthropologie strikes again. This is on my wish list:-)

The simple beauty of vintage pictures in a shabby frame.

I might never get away from this table...




...But if I had this bed to crawl into, I would.


Yum!!!!

To join in White Wednesday, visit the Faded Charm Cottage.

I Love Vintage Brooches!

Look at these gorgeous brooches!


Oh my gosh...this would be a jackpot for me!

These are my favorite accessories, hands down. They don't have to be true vintage, either. "Vintage-like" can be just as pretty:-) I recently won a few on ebay and can't wait for them to arrive.
Anyway, this is one of my current favorites. It has a vintage look and it can be used in so many ways...dressed up or down.

For a sneak peek at one of our store items, here is the pin attached to some pretty pearl bracelets. This is actually our favorite way to wear them.

Add a chain and voila...a lovely necklace.


My daughters love to wear pins on their jeans...around the pocket and sometimes down by the hem.


They also add a unique touch to purses, scarves and coats.

I think the coolest way to wear them is in unexpected ways so wearing them with a jean jacket would be a great touch. Or how about a crystal brooch on the side of a cute baseball hat?



Another beautiful way to wear them is to attach them to strands of pearls.


Pretty, pretty!


And what clever and creative person thought to attach them to drawer knobs. Is this amazing or what?????


So go ahead...dig in your jewelry box (or your grandma's) find those pretty pins and wear 'em well!

Welcome to The Shabby Tiara...

...where everyone is a "shabby" princess.
I hope you like the new look. It is very much "me"...which is how it's supposed to be, right?
The new blog might bore some of you as I am getting back to what I love and do best, which is make a house into a home. Nothing clever or witty about it...just everyday life at The Shabby Tiara...my new and improved blog.

Moving on...
Take a look at this kitchen.


Wouldn't you just love an island like this? I know I would! But my husband would probably die when he saw it and wonder when it was going to be finished. No accounting for taste, right?

That's it for now. I have to finish messing with this blog...or should I say messing up this blog.
Remember...If the tiara fits...wear it!:-)

P.S. I think I finally figured this out. Just like me to be so impatient I couldn't wait until I got the kinks worked out, but you can access my blog through EITHER www.theshabbytiara.com or my old link www.shabbychicks.blogspot.com. Whew...I'm exhausted:-)
