my working wish list...

so i have been making a wish list.
i have gone to many estate sales, yard sales and moving sales looking for a 
cabinet like the one below.
i want something not super fancy and not wide.
the one below would look coolio in my kitchen.

this is the number one book on my list.
the recipes are amazing and i love the southern goodness.

i am also hoping to soonish find a great camping lantern.
similar to the one in the link above.
i don't have any reason to like it other than it matches our tent.
also coleman stuff is about middle of the line which i like.:)

we also have a gaping hole in our air mattress.
i'd like an air mattress that allows for camping and in home use.
i also am always collecting more vintage bright colored pyrex!

i think this weekend i am hitting estate sales HARD!

southern folk art

one of my favorite things back in good ole florence, alabama is michelle's house.
i love it bc it seems to always change in the most fun ways.
her art is my absolute favorite on the planet.
when i am grown up i hope my home can look half
as cool as hers.


southern folk art is my very favorite.
no one else that i have seen comes close.
i look on etsy and it is nothing like these pictures from michelle's house.
i think i love it bc of the culture and the strong religious symbols.


so i actually have a little bit of the above artists work.
her name is martha beadle and she is a florence, al local.
the above piece is bob dylan and i forget the quote
underneath is i think music lyrics.
isn't that amazing??


i love the middle piece in the picture above.
it's a baptism at a church in a creek.
then the coke bottle cross. eekk love love!:)


this my friends is a new piece to michelle's collection.
it has shot up to number 1 on my christmas list.
i met the lady who is the go between in florence for this artist.
i am asking my mom for a piece from this artist.
i freaking love it so much!!

i just never see artists works like this.
michelle's collection that her and her husband have built i just can't get over it.
