My first of the year.......

 I went to my first garage sale of the season a few weeks ago with a friend
and of course I have no idea what I'll do with them, but I loved these baskets
for a $1
 I found some vintage tablecloths to add to my collection
this was my favorite......
 I loved this horse painting......
 Look at this amazing work of art.......
a friend gave me.
 It reminds me of an Anthropologie work of art.
I have to ask, Mr Milo our new cat
has become part of our family.
George and Milo love to play and chase each other....
The only thing that drives me crazy about Milo is
every morning I come down to find all my vases empty
of flowers......someone said if you have a planter with grass growing
in it they leave the house plants alone.....
any tips?

Have a wonderful weekend!
Heidi

  6. That peacock cushion is so beautiful- the colours! And the cat flower issue? not sure as our cat has never shown remote interest in floral displays. I do know if they have their own scratching post covered in carpet they do leave all the furniture alone. mel x

  8. Lovely things Heidi. Love the peacocks. Kitties love cat grass (wheat grass). It is easy to grow. Good luck.

  9. Ask Amanda on the cat and grass issue. Otherwise I would say that Mr. Milo is just having fun pulling them out and making a mess. I'm glad he gets along with the dogs. Diane

    P.S. Great treasures from the sales.

  11. Hello Heidi, l do so love that horse picture and that beautiful pillow! Sure those baskets will come in handy, they look great. As for puss; l'm so glad the little rascal is getting along with the dogs :-). My little black terror was a headache at christmas and easter, but as the weather is warmer now, he is often out at night and uses up some of his mischief. Main problem with Melvin at night is that he has tried everything to get hold of my sons hamster Lilli. Try the cat grass and see if that helps, and good luck with your naughty friend :-) Pam xx

  15. your enthusiasm always gives me such a good feeling, a feeling of belonging, of home coming.

    concerning milo, i gather you mean cat grass? you can easily plant it in a low container! but undoubtedly someone before me told you how. i couldn't tell you from the top of my head, but this morning as i lay lounging in the bath, and as i was leafing a vintage scored book on plants in da house... they showed a cat-grass-plant-thingy.
    the serendipity, don't you think? tell me if you want a scan of this!

  24. Great finds Heidi!
    Our cat used to empty out vases of flowers too, but doesnt any more thankfully. I never did figure out why - she loves water, so i did start to put less water in the vases so she couldnt get to it, and to use vases with a smaller neck, so maybe this put her off?
    Hopefully your cat will either grow out of it or become bored with the game like ours!

  25. Great finds!!! I love the horse painting! My cats usually leave my flowers alone (unless they have bear grass) Buying wheat grass for him can't be a bad idea.
