Home Sweet Home

"Where thou art - that - is Home."  
Emily Dickinson

Ty was away Friday and Saturday visiting his dad.  This house is eerily quiet without my little man's feet pitter pattering on the floor, trains choo choo-ing throughout the day, and his random outbursts of singing.  So, I had to keep myself busy!

My original plan was to make fall decorations and go "junking" for home decor.  I actually wound up putting off crafting because I had so much luck finding quirky little treasures for our nest.

This adorable little bread box wound up here...
On the folding table in our laundry room

A great bargain! A rusted antique cake box for $6.
This little fellow isn't going to be sitting out regularly, but I just couldn't resist.

Rusted Chandelier for $2 is now hanging on...
The Oak Tree in my back yard.  I can't wait to have cooler weather to sit outside, light the candles on this chandelier and read a good book before bed.  Makes me sleepy just thinking about it!

So unique it says it on the sewing machine!  Another great find for $19!
This cutie now sits on...
My cubby desk with a bunch of our other favorite things: my Papa's cowboy hat, my dad's childhood Bible, and a pig in honor of Charlotte's Web. 

I love spray paint!
Now above the TV in my room.

This little night stand has been a work in progress, and it still isn't quite right.  But I am very happy with my framed $3 wrapping paper from Aaron Brothers.

I found a brand new SMU hat for my little man for $.90!!! 

But this house didn't become a home until...
The little man of the house came home! I love him so!
