This is actually a test...I am posting from my iPhone and if this works then I will have no excuse to not update more often.

Loving my new shabby antique sign
When I saw this old sign at a local shop, I knew I needed to have it and I just love it. I know need to get my husband to hang it on the wall...not sure he will think that is a priority!

A new shabby cabinet
A couple of weeks ago I brought home this shabby cabinet for our hallway and my husband asked where are the chickens....he thought is was the most awful thing I had ever bought, BUT I love it. For whatever reason he thinks it belongs in a chicken coop....what does he know? Anyway, I now have a place to store all of my china and I couldn't be happier.

A quick hello
I feel so bad, my little blog is like a long lost friend to me... it seems like it is always there for me but I seem to be so busy with my new friends like Instagram, Facebook or Pintereset. I just want you to know Vintage Flair...you will always be my favorite and I can't image my life without you...even though you have been so neglected. We use to be the best of friends...what happened? I need to be a better friend to you....please forgive me for be tempted by these "others" that are so fast to stay connected with my creative friends. It seems like I can take a photo in a matter of minutes with Instagram but as I am typing this, I have been sitting here for 10 minutes typing away and it takes so long to create a post these days. Vintage Flair....I just need to figure out a way to incorporate you into my extremely busy world.
XoXo,
Lori
P.S. Yes, in case you have forgotten, I am your long lost author of this blog!

I had good intentions
I walked into my craft space and I had every intention of tiding my space up a bit but it seems like I got a bit distracted by all of this.....
Well maybe next time!

A little Target transformation
I was at Target a couple weeks ago and I spotted these jewelry holders and I immediately knew I wanted to transform them a bit into my personal style. I thought they were perfect becuase there are so many hooks on the bottom to hang my jewelry creations. This is what was on originally on the top and I just unscrewed them and added my frozen Charlotte heads on the top.
But I think they look much better my way....what do you think?

Crafty Lori
My sweet Lily-Grace gave me a present the other day and I thought I would share it with all of you. Santa brought Lucy this book {below} and the joke around the house is, the book should be titled Crafty Lori.
So, Lily-Grace made my own Crafty Lori book...too sweet for words. I would rather receive a gift like this from my children vs. something bought in the store. It really doesn't take much to make me happy. I am a very Lucky Momma.
