New Ebay items this week

WOW! I was actually able to get some painting done this week. I have had so many projects started but not completed. I was very thankful to have the time and inspiration to get some things finished. I hope you will check them out this week on ebay! This is a wonderful old Victorian coal hod scuttle that I picked up several years ago on the worlds longest yard sale. I had cleaned it up and painted it white but had not done anything else to it until just recently. I loved the way it turned out. I might just have to find a place for it and keep it!

I also have been painting a few Christmas items. Christmas is always a favorite time of year for decorating and I love painting these decorative items!

Great Day for Yard Sales!

This is another beautiful fall day here in Northeast Alabama. My husband and I got up and went to a few yards sales. Found some old windows with the original hardware. A lovely oval wood and gesso frame. This gorgeous old antique framed print. I bought the framed print from someone who was selling out her shop and she said she had bought it from an estate sale. It's a fabulous frame. I couldn't pass up the little Samsonite overnite case. It reminded me of the one my mom had when we were growing up. I used that thing a lot spending the night at friends' houses. The memories it brings back!

Here are a few of my ebay listings this week. I hope you will check them out and find something that you just can't live without!

Well today is college football!! My husband and I both love college football and you can't live in Alabama without declaring your loyalty to either Alabama or Auburn. They are the biggest rivalries in the state. My husband is an Alabama fan and I'm an Auburn fan so it always makes for an interesting day. However, today is Jacksonville State's Homecoming. My husband is an alumni from there and that is where he spends the majority of his time since he works there. So we are off to enjoy the game and homecoming activities! Blessings to you all!

Beautiful Fall Weather

My favorite time of the year is fall. After the hot summers in Alabama the cooler temps are a welcome change. One thing my husband and I like to do is go camping! I'm talking about sleeping in a tent "roughing it" type camping. We have a group of friends that we like to go with and we love to go to Lake Guntersville here in Northeast Alabama. Our friends went camping this past weekend but we weren't able to camp. But we did manage a quick trip up there. The lake and all around it is gorgeous. We've stayed at the state park and there are deer everywhere. Late afternoon they come in around the campground and feed. I'm a posting some pics of a few we saw this past weekend.

I FINALLY Did It!!

Yea! I finally took the time to sit down and try to figure this thing out. I love looking at all the gorgeous blogs and reading them. I've had this one for a while now but never posted anything. Southern Vintage Charm is me! I'm southern, some what vintage (40 something for a couple of more years!LOL) and well I try to be charming. I am a nurse by day and a decorative painter and collector in my spare time. I love anything Victorian, shabby and chic, primitive and French Country. Quite a combination. I have been buying and selling on eBay for a number of years. There you will find anything from my romantic pink fluffy roses to vintage collectibles. I collect Hull and McCoy pottery and have a few Fenton art glass pieces. I also love decorating with vintage bird cages and birdhouses. Thanks for taking the time to stop in and I hope you enjoy. I am putting a few pictures of some of my favorite things in my home. My husband and I have very different tastes in decorating but I do manage to have a few shabby and chic items.
