Welcome to all the new visitors and followers from the many generous blogs that featured our home this week. I am so happy to have you here at my little slice of green eclectic paradise.
A little known or maybe unknown fact to you is, my all-time favorite show is the Gilmore Girls. My wonderful husband bought me all of the seasons a few years ago and I have probably burned lines into them. I would rather watch the fast talking Lorelai and wonderfully innocent Rory any day than some of the other garbage on tv. Honey Boo Boo, I'm just saying. It is one of those show that will always make me laugh and feel better when things are just looking a little murky.
Trev and I went to one of our favorite antique shows a couple of weeks ago and I came across this awesome green dented can for salted nuts.
I immediately loved it because of the colour, then the price and then I got caught up remembering in the last season of the Gilmore Girls at the spring fling festival Taylor (who doesn't love Taylor and his shenanigans) turned the entire town into a hay bale maze and at the town meeting Babette gets all bundled up about Morey's salty nuts:
"What about Morey's salty nuts? How's he supposed to have his salty nuts booth if we don't have a lemonade booth? If people start eating salty nuts and they don't have easy access to lemonade, their mouths will fall off."
It is no secret I am a vintage lover and I love knowing the story behind things. Just like the oil painting in our dining room from my childhood neighbour, this can now holds a simple albeit strange story for me.
I popped the boxwood that was sitting here inside the can and moved around the items on top of the console table. I found the gnarly huge green vase at the Goodwill. I can imagine in some settings it may seem quite tacky but the colour was just perfect and I think it is more quirky than tacky. Kind of like Kirk.

Anyone else love the Gilmore Girls still or have another favorite show that still makes you laugh or cry?
Have a fabulous day,
Meg
