This morning my house was a WRECK.
Let’s call it PMS: Post Market Syndrome. A few weeks leading up to a market I get tunnel vision. I readily admit that. And this morning I had had enough. So I flew in on the housework like a crazy woman.
I had already unpacked all my market gear and put it away in the garage. All my paint and paint supplies were in their proper place. I have not touched a paintbrush in eight days, nor anything else in the house. I have just rested. But this morning I was a ball of fire!
Then I got the itch to change
SOMETHING.
I had made a deal with myself to not leave my house so I had to use what I had on hand. To me that meant that I had to shop my own home, and garden. And that garden is what lit the fuse.
I love peonies!
I have three big bushes of them. Their blooming season is very short so I try to enjoy them as much as possible. My red and my white blooms are already gone but I still have lots of the pink. It’s the most prolific.
The monogrammed stemware was a gift from my mother-in-law years ago.
Everything on the table I already had in my kitchen cabinets!
I’ve been collecting black and white transferware for years. Most of it is salad and dessert plates.
These cool knives were a Goodwill find.
25 cents each! I came home with eight.
I have a lot of peonies!
So next I swapped out a few things on my mantel.
This chalkboard is one of the few things I had left over from Vintage Hendo Market.
It’s a nice change in place of the mirror and I pulled in a few green bottles.
You can smell these beautiful flowers all over my house!
Now, if y’all will excuse me I’m going to go pick up a paintbrush. Somewhere Big Daddy is rolling his eyes!
Paige

The peonies are gorgeous! They look so pretty in your house. And, oh how I do love black and white transferware 😉
Glad you rested and your peonies are gouges-I wish I had a bush or two in my yard!
Hi Paige, I wanted to thank you for leaving me a sweet comment on my Polka Dot pillows. I tried to reply directly to your comment but you came up as a non reply blogger!! Super cute chalk board!!! Will follow you along too!! Christine from Little Brags
tried to find you on bloglovin, have you heard of it? That is where I like to follow blogs. Or are you on Google Plus?
Thank you letting me know! I'm not the brightest bulb on the tree but I think I've fixed it. Just so you know I went straight out to find a lampshade to try to polka dot! Oh, and I know nothing about Bloglovin. I'm pretty new at this. I'm on google
Wonderful flowers. Peonies are so pretty, but need something longer lasting. Your home is lovely.
Just beautiful! You have perfect taste!
And you are very sweet! Thank you
Beautiful peonies! I had various shades of pink and white peonies at my wedding because I love them so much. Lucky you get to enjoy them in your garden and home!
Very pretty! Flowers add so much all over the house. I have been shopping my own house also lately too and found some great stuff!
