I got home and couldn't stop thinking about this windmill I saw for $35. I live smack in the middle of suburbia, but I decided I needed it in my backyard and asked my mother-in-law to take the truck and get it for me. She went this morning and said it wasn't there. Boo. My grandparents had a windmill very similar to this one, and I'd sure like to have it for the sentimental reminder.

I saw this pretty house on my way home--that taupe and black color scheme with the shaped bushes is one that always inspires me. I've been thinking about adding more of this look around my house this spring.

This week has flown by. Macauley and I took Booker T. for a long walk on the greenway trail after school this afternoon. It was still a bit cool out, but the little creek was bubbling and the sun was out and I could feel the world starting to wake up after the gray sleep of winter. What I really need more than "vintage inspiration" (that comes so easily to me) is the fire to get out every day after school and walk or jog or something instead of plopping on the comfy couch and digging in to my Oprah and Jeopardy! and snacks. Maybe a little pink ipod Shuffle would do the trick...

Ah, I love it all!
I am having an antique auction on my blog. All sorts of lovely and romantic finds looking for a new home. I hope you'll stop by.
Have a wonderful weekend.
What a great post. I love the items you pictured and the house is simply beautiful.
Shame about the windmill going, but now that other people know are after one they might let you know if they find any.
