Fluffing the Nest
Today I am "fluffing the nest"!!!! It is a never-ending job ,lol!!!! The part of cleaning and dusting that I do enjoy is when I am dusting and rearranging my vintage collections. Last year I bought a beautiful three tiered gold colored cake stand (also has blingy goodness attached) from Opulent Treasures.I originally thought I would put it in my dressing room and place make up items on it.
My hubby bought me my pink clear cube for makeup for my anniversary present(which I am so in love with)so that went in the dressing room instead.I decided to put the cupcake stand on my night stand and display some of my vintage figures and some perfume bottles,etc.That way I can look at it and appreciate it daily.
I get inspired by beauty so today I rearranged some of my smaller perfume bottles and freshened up my other antique figures.I added and subtracted items until I thought it looked good.I loved how it turned out so I thought I would share some photos. Now to dust and fluff the rest of our room.Hope everyone is having a great day!!!!!!

Spring Cleaning!!!!!!
So finally I am getting in the mood to spring clean!!!! Where we live it is not spring like weather, but I am feeling the need to deep clean!!!! My bedroom is a catch all for everything from the rest of the house.Especially on Saturdays since we work out of the house that day.I find myself shoving laundry baskets and anything else I want to hide in our room. Not cool but I usually start getting everything out again during the week.
Today was the day that I started to clean my side and organize my dresser(the top) and my nightstand.I am a product junkie to say the least!!!! I love beauty products and since I am in the beauty business ,I tend to buy a lot.I also am addicted to youtube and start buying products that have good reviews.Alot of my skin products are also from where my husband works.For valentine's Day hubby gave me Emminence skin care products which I love and also some makeup!!!! He usually has the girls where he works pick them out.
Love all my products!!!!! But with that said ,my dresser was starting to feel cluttered. I am lucky to have a separate dressing room(which is connected to our room)so I mostly put my makeup in there.But I noticed that the night time skin care products needed to be closer to me where I can see them or I forget to put them on.
I am now at the lovely time in my life that I should put on night cream,eye cream,etc!!!! LOL!!!! I try but I don't always succeed.I also love vintage items which also add to my clutter.As an artist I need to surround myself with beauty(the things that I find pretty).I also like order so as long as I have my things organized I am fine but then life happens and my room starts to feel like chaos.
I wiped down my dresser and rearranged my"stuff" and now it feels better.I still have my dressing room to spring clean but that will have to wait until another day.Here are the photos of my room.

Thrill of the hunt
Today I took the boys as well as my daughter to a little used book store that opened in our downtown area which is a few blocks away. I grew up going to used book stores with my mom and it is one of my favorite memories. I LOVE books!!!!!! The only issue I have is finding places to put my books,lol!!!! My shelves are full.I ended up buying some vintage children's books.After the book store we went to a thrift store that we hardly ever go to.We are still looking for baby shower vintage props.
I found a cute little baby figurine and a vintage baby doll.I'm looking for something with a stork and a vintage baby scale. I did find a vintage scale on etsy but there is something exciting about the thrill of the hunt going from store to store!!!!! You never know what treasure awaits.

Dinner Bell
I was lucky to receive a vintage bell from a friend who found it in her house when she moved in!!!! She said she didn't like it but my boys thought it was cool so she gave it to us!!!!! I almost bought one at TJMAX a while ago, so I was thrilled to have it!!!!!! My boys love it when I ring it instead of yelling to come and eat. We attached it to a cabinet that is temporarily by the copper sink. It actually matches the sink!!!!!!
