Well, to begin with...I have been collecting since I was a child...so my first collections had to do with nature...rocks, sea glass and shells....and then all sorts of other tiny things...bits and bobs.Then, as I was fascinated with old things and their history I started asking for old wooden implements and odds and ends and kitchen things from my grandparents who lived on a farm with a 200 year old barn. I married young, right out of college and started collecting lots of kitchen items, yellow ware and ironstone for my own home. I have many family items from my husbands relatives as well as my own. I spent a lot of time rooting around in the attics and basements of our grandparents! I love wire ware and metal items, garden things, books, books and more books...I have many baskets, old toys and games, linens, quilts, vintage clothes and hats. I collect old photos, cameras, typewriters, etc. You see? The list goes on and on. I would say that I love things with history and a bit of whimsy. I love a patina on things... a little chipped paint, tarnish or rust shows character and is preferable to me. I love to collect things that have been designed well and have decorative appeal.Recently I have returned to collecting smaller things ...I have been buying lots to use in art projects...ribbons, lace, old keys, religious metals, ephemera, etc. My collections are all informal....mostly everyday, useful items from days past. Things with texture and interesting detail always draw me in...and things that were obviously loved make my heart melt</div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center"><em><span style="color: #ffcccc; font-size: 130%;">Do you Decorate with White Ironstone</span>?</em></div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center">Yes, I use <span style="color: #333333;">white ironstone</span> throughout my home...everyday in the form of soap dishes and pitchers for flowers. I use platters for interesting displays as well as serving food. White ironstone is so versatile and serves as a clean and fresh backdrop for any display. They are the bones of most of my <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">tablescapes</span> and I love to mix and match other pieces with my ironstone. I would have to say that my favorite way to display flowers is in my ironstone pitchers....so classic!</div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center"><span style="color: #999999; font-size: 130%;"><em><span style="color: #ffcccc;">How is your Lake house<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"></span> decorated</span>?</em></span> </div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center">Our lake house is decorated entirely with flea market, thrift store and curbside finds. It has a decidedly Adirondack feel to it...some vintage twig furniture mixed in...lots of accessories that were found locally....pack baskets, snow shoes, skis, etc. It is very relaxed and comfortable with stacks of games to be played and lots of nature finds from hikes accumulated over the years. There are books everywhere...ranging from topics to do with nature...wildflowers, birds, etc. to decorating books to old mysteries. It is very rustic and campy.</div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center"><span style="color: silver; font-size: 130%;"><em><span style="color: #ffcccc;">If you could live anywhere in the world where would it be</span>?</em></span></div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center">Well, assuming I could have unlimited access to my family members wherever they are.....I would say that I love being able to look at water....be it a lake or ocean. I absolutely loved our trips to France and Italy and think I would enjoy the European lifestyle.I am not a city girl but love a lot of things that a city has to offer...like museums and the ballet or opera. Ideally, I think I would like to live within walking distance to a thriving town or village....someplace with cultural and artistic events happening and someplace with easy access to barn sales and thrift stores! :) Oh, and a mild climate would be lovely!</div><div align="center"><br /><br /></div><div align="center"><span style="color: silver; font-size: 130%;"><em><span style="color: #ffcccc;">What is inspiring you for fall</span>?</em></span></div><div align="center">Well, anyone who knows me...knows that I hate (I know hate is a very strong word)....but I hate the color orange and I am a <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">fraidy</span> cat so I really do not like Halloween at all I have a collection of black books with scary titles...but that is as far as I go.My fall decorations include lots of white pumpkins, grapevines, green gourds, baskets, rustic wood items, old worn brown leather suitcases, plaid blankets ...lots of texture!. I do love sweater weather!</div><div align="center"><br /><br /></div><div align="center"><em>Thank You Laura you are so gracious ,You are my new kindred spirit.</em><em>(I'm not a big orange fan either).</em></div><div align="center"><em>I hope you enjoyed getting to know Laura as much as I did. </em>Be sure to drop by *<span style="font-size: 130%;">52Flea*</span>.</div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center"><a href="http://52flea.blogspot.com/">http://52flea.blogspot.com/</a></div><div align="center">Blessings,</div><div align="center"><span style="font-size: 180%;">Pam</span></div><div align="center"><br /><br /><br /></div><div></div>

I tied it to the roof of the car and drove home with my fingers crossed hoping it would fit our front door and with a little trimming, a little white paint ...adorable. Not sure if the red door would look good behind the white screen door.<br />I think I am brave enouph to paint my toenails red ,maybe...<br />So for all of you that know me this wasnt really fair because you know what my favorite color is and how many cans of white spray paint I own.<br />It is Labor Day weekend and we are off to enjoy the last days of summer fun on our boat.<br />Have a safe and funfilled 3 day weekend.<br />Blessings<br />xxoo<br /><span style="font-size:180%;">Pam</span>
