Friends, I need to have surgery - to have my WANT bone removed!
Lately, I've got a bad case of the 'must haves' which actually means
'dream on'. But who could blame me for dreaming of . . . . .

Cabbage Rose

Black Hands

(seriously? glove forms? Oh, you silly dreams)
. . . . . a chicken crate coffee table . . . . .
Here & There
. . . . the courage to hang bold striped wallpaper . . . .
. . . . . a Jane Austen themed vacation . . . .
Cindy Pineo

The Vintaquarian

hunger, and disease and for everyone to love each other.
Every few months I have to purge my selfish Wants
and remind myself to appreciate my many Blessings.
But, gosh, did you see that kitchen island? Want-bones can be very irritating.

Lovely photos. I have a want bone too. :-)
ReplyDeleteWants Bones are similar to your appendix except they're much more likely to get inflamed and are the dickens to remove!
DeleteThat cute little cottage is close to where I live. It stands in the grounds of a place called Lanhydrock House in Cornwall. I have visited the house a couple of times and it's beautiful :-) I love your blog I always find it so inspirational.
ReplyDeleteOh, Kay, you lucky, lucky girl! To live near this cottage would be a dream come true. Thanks so much for hanging with me and enjoying the blog. -- Jan
DeleteAbsolutely beautiful photos! Yes, those "want bones" can be such a bother at times.:-)
ReplyDeleteMy Want Bone lies dormant for months at a time then - WHAM - I'm at a flea market and it goes crazy!
Deletewell good grief! now you have given ME one! ANOTHER ONE!!! or 12
ReplyDeleteIt's a closely held medical secret that Want Bones are contagious! How else can you explain the effect your neighbor's new car has on your husband?! haha
DeleteI have no idea what you're talking about, I think these are all very realistic :P That's the wonderful thing about blogging and places like Pinterest; collecting snippets of things we would like in our lives. Mine are filled with linens...maybe I just need more sleep
ReplyDeleteYes, it's wonderful to fantasize through Pinterest and the blogisphere. If there had been an internet when I was growing up my Want Bone would be the size of Texas by now! -- Jan
DeleteBeautiful images! I think assembling a virtual collection is so much more practical than trying to jam all sorts of real things into one's home and life. Or so I tell myself!
ReplyDeleteI'm your newest follower....loving your blog! If you have time....please visit my blog...I am having a giveaway for a gift certificate to celebrate the opening of my Etsy store!!

I'm dying over that charming little yellow house.
