Home goods

You all know my love for all things brass and animal like, and these findings over at Estate Eclectic are perfect for my growing collection.  Filled with fun vintage finds, this etsy shop has wonderful pieces to fill your home with antique goodness all with a little touch of character.  Aside from my collection of brass, I seem to also be gravitating towards trays {they are just so darn practical!} and this plaid one would be perfect on a table top to hold smaller items.  Besides, its not a home until there is home decor.  Do you collect anything a bit out of the ordinary?  Visitors are always surprised by my animal collection.

The last few days have been spent digging in mud, laying down weed barriers and spreading 3 tons of rock; I didn't even notice my indoor flowers were in need of love.  Suppose its time for something new and fresh.

Today we braved the weather and set out for the Alameda Antique Fair.  I was a bit bummed by the lack of vendors, but we took the risk in the rain anyway.  Can't wait to go back, when its sunny.
