there's no place like home

In all aspects of life..
I believe,
it's the small things that matter most.
and for this post, specifically, small signature pieces that make your home.
I've found a few small things that will make my soon to be home..
perfectly & uniquely "me"

to start,
this decorative bird cage..
I've fallen in love with the vintage birdie,
so this will go sweetly with my birdie wall hooks. (previous post)
this will be used in my kitchen to hold different spatula's & wooden spoons.
and this one...sigh.. is a beautifully quilted basket.
it has shabby chic written all over it, 
which is the exact decor I love!
I think.. I'll it use as a fruit basket in my kitchen..
but I'm racking my mind on how to use it best.
 ..here's a closer look..
and I've found while browsing for home goods..
I really wanted unique salt & pepper shakers,
just not any would do..
I've also found my eye is drawn to things that are yellow..
so when these vintage yellow salt & pepper shakers caught my eye
..I was sold :)
and finally, for Miss Kaylie..
she loves her baby dolls
..and I love quilts.
So this vintage quilted baby doll blanket & pillow set 
was a perfect addition to our new soon to be home :)
and to make it even better..the set was only $3.50!
(gotta love frugal living) 

... all of this fits us so perfectly. 
I can't wait to put all the little things together & call it home :)
