Vintage Pieces

When it comes to beverages and to wine precisely; I am a light non-alcoholic wine drinker. I love wine glasses. There is something about them that I can quite grasp. Perhaps is the elegance, the feel and the shape of the glass? These glasses would definitely make for a lively evening.

1940's Vintage Bell Wine Goblets. — *1940’s Vintage Bell Wine Goblets.*

I was so delighted to find a pair of Vintage Metal Plant Stand, which I restored. I started by washing it, removing the rusted areas with a wire brush and smoothing it out with a sandpaper. I primed first and spray painted it (to seal the metal surface and prevent future rusting). They are gorgeous and I can’t wait to use them.

The gorgeous set of wall hanging Greek Male and Female Head Sculptures was purchased from Linda Marie’s Enchanted Treasures.

“Pomona Antique Mart” Shop

By JM PerezJuly 17, 20121 min read759 views

I truly appreciate lovelies and my husband is really thoughtful of me when it comes to my heart desires. I get happy over little things which spark a desire in me to create, decorate and donate.

Another favorite of mine is this gorgeous Cherub Wall Shelf Sconce my husband purchased for me, while visiting the Antique Rows in Downtown Pomona, CA.

Another steal from the Antique Row was this Set of 3 Clear Crystal Pillar Candlestick Holder which I love to pieces.

For great and unique Vintage finds, I highly recommend you visit Pomona’s Antiques Row shops and allow yourself at least a good half a day to do so. The atmosphere is peaceful, friendly and the shop owners are always happy to tell the story behind each piece of furniture.

Matryoshka Dolls Home Decor

Matryoshka Dolls

Matryoshka Dolls

– Don’t we all love them? With a variety of shapes and themes from fairy tales, religious, athletic icons and from wildlife to World leaders; the choices and possibilities are endless.
Kids love them and mine are not immune to their awesomeness. They are useful in educating young children about colors, sizes, shapes, stacking and unstacking into larger dolls.

Beside the vibrant colors and themes; I am fond of them mainly for what they represent: motherhood and fertility.

Matryoshka-Dolls — *Russian Nesting Dolls.*

The gorgeous Matryoshka Nesting Doll in the middle was purchased at one of the Antique Stores in Downtown Pomona. Standing at 8″ tall and consisting of 9 pieces, it is one of my favorite acquisitions.

Being a Vintage lover and having spent at least six years in Pomona, CA; I can assure you that the Antique Row is the place to shop for everything Antique (paintings, furniture, books, toys, clothing, Silverware, tools and much more). I own a few sets, some of which I will be giving away to my readers.

Clearance – A Spot for Hidden Treasures

By JM PerezJune 26, 20121 min read825 views

One of my favorites places to shop for Home Decor furniture and accessories is Kohl’s. I am particularly fond of their gorgeous selection of Elle Decor as well as the Sonoma Life + Style® brand.

I love great deals. One can only find such deals at the clearance section. Most of the times, the item is not broken or chipped; rather, an online purchase that was manually returned in a store.

My advice to anyone searching for stunning yet affordable home furnishings is to shop around and start by checking the clearance section of your favorite stores.

“There, beneath a pile of dated items and amid other things, you just might find some hidden treasures.” ― Joan Ambu

Weekend In Maryland

By JM PerezMay 4, 20092 min read718 views

We returned home yesterday from a three day vacation in Maryland. It was the first flight we took together as a family. At first, I was worried about flying with a one year old; but it actually turned out great. He was calm, well behaved and slept almost through the entire flight. For me, those were signs of a wonderful weekend.

The White House by night. — *Partial view of the White House by night.*

One of my brothers picked us up from the airport along with my dear Mother and dropped us off at the residence of my other brother. As soon as I got a chance to close my eyes, I slept almost half a day. My brothers got to meet their nephew for the first time and we met their significant others. Despite everyone’s busy schedule, we had a great time and we created beautiful memories that will last forever.

On the morning of our last stay, my brother surprised us by driving down to Chesapeake Beach Veterans’ Memorial Park (one of the major attractions). It turned out to be a lovely day and we quietly walked along the Chesapeake Bay. While visiting a shop on North Beach, my Son had his eyes on what appears to be a Vintage replica of a Leviton Truck by Branch Electric Supply Company. After making some purchases, the shop owner decided to gift him the truck. Oh, boy, was he happy.

Of course, the trip wouldn’t have been complete without seeing my friend and sister in Christ, Emilienne, who drove all the way from Virginia on our last night with her sister and daughter to see us.
