Wicker Wall Hanging Baskets

JM Perez By JM Perez1 min read1.1K views

I love wreaths and I have a couple for each season; however, I have been thinking about making some changes in the decor style. I thought about an item I have in every single space around the house, and the majestic wicker baskets came to mind. I have so many storage wicker baskets in the house, in various sizes and colors. They are really neat, great for displaying items, organizing as well as keeping  things out of sight. They are so versatile and make great accent pieces.

Not too long ago, I rekindled my love for wicker wall hanging baskets. I am enamored with the idea of stuffing them with flowers and hanging them on doors and walls, like the ones below:

Downtown Oro Grande, CA

JM Perez By JM Perez1 min read726 views

Today we drove to the Historic Downtown of Oro Grande, CA (our favorite spot in the High Desert). It is the one place on our California Historic Route 66 where some of us Antique and Vintage Collectors can find with a little luck, cherished treasures from the past.

On our way to Linda Marie’s Enchanted Treasures, we spotted what looked like a huge warehouse with lots of beautiful metal pieces outside. We stopped, looked around and loved it.

Some Things Shabby

JM Perez By JM Perez1 min read970 views

It’s the day after Christmas and the Sun is shining bright. It feels good to step outside, take a moment to breathe in and count my blessings. There’s no place like Home and as I sit here surrounded by so many lovelies; I realize that I have, not just a fondness for Victorian Cast Iron garden furniture, but a weakness as well.

The Patio Set below is an old Singer Sewing Machine Base with a half an inch Polypropylene tabletop (a Craigslist purchase). The chairs are Shabby Chic and the Table is Antique. The cross-piece on the Sewing Machine base has a patent date which reads Patented Jan. 4, 1887. All the wheels on the base still function as they should. I had the option to use it either as a Console Table or as a Desk, but I decided to use it as an outdoor table.

I have bought gorgeous Garden Sets over the years and the ones I cherish the most is this set of Antique Victorian Cast Iron Grapevine pattern matching Bench and Arm Chair.

I also have a lovely American Harvest Cast Aluminum Bistro Set which I have owned for a couple of years now and which I absolutely adore. This set sits pretty in my front yard, next to my Raywood Ash tree.

As I sit here, enjoying the moment in my garden, I wish you all a wonderful day.

Shabby Candle Holders

Last Wednesday I visited the Shabby Sisters Boutique, a Shabby Chic Shop here in the High Desert which I recently heard about. We’ve visited most Shabby Chic, Vintage/Antique, Primitive shops around here and it turned out that the Shabby Sisters have only been around for the past six months (which probably explains why I didn’t know about their existence until last week). It’s a lovely place, owned by three lovely women who enjoy singing.

The shop itself is small in size, but features gorgeous items you will love to pieces. Shabby Sisters Boutique carries Refinished/repainted, up-cycled and re-purposed furniture as well as hand crafted items.

While searching for my candle holders and some candles, I found this lovely Bird Candle above which I either bought from Pier 1 Imports or Cost Plus World Market a few years ago.
