Shabby Chic

    All this purging and repurposing and thrift shopping helps keep my mind busy. I love the treasure hunt of thrifting, and often while thrifting, I find something Shabby Chic.  I love the design term "Shabby Chic"! Now this is not my decorating style, I'm too eclectic to actually have a style, Shabby Chic is a great description of me, the person.  Here are some descriptors of this style according to Wikipedia, "chosen for their appearance of age and signs of wear and tear", "at the same time soft, opulent, yet cottage-style","often with a feminine feel".  Yep, that's me alright!  So now as I approach 55 years, I have become "vintage".  So how about you, have you got a personal style?  Oh mind you, I'm not complaining, there are many things about me that have become better with age and only occasionally do I wish I were 30 again!
