kitchen decor - ball jars and vintage globes

While on our little getaway the hubby and I managed to get some antiquing time in :) I love antiques and thrift shops so I was in heaven when we found this old school house turned antique shop. It was huge and they had sooo much stuff. 
I found a wonderful vintage globe for the kitchen and some more ball jars (you can never have enough ball jars). I already had a vintage scale and ball jars in my kitchen but now the scale has been replace by the new globe. I haven't figured out what to do with the new ball jars yet but I am sure I will find a lovely new home for them. They are just great to put flowers in, so Spring please hurry up :) 
The framed print is by Katie Daisy, a wonderfully talented Artist and you can find her here. I just ordered some more prints for the nursery and can't wait to get them and hang them up. Absolutely love her work!
I also bought a cute new mug that matches my kitchen at another shop we stopped at. Handmade rocks!


Have you noticed my obsession with turquoise yet ;) 










chai tea is gonna taste yummy out of this lovely mug

    I have noticed you like turquoise, but it is a lovely colour. Always reminds me of the Indian Ocean or the Pacific.

    Found you through Monday blog hops.

    Wow, what great jars! They'd look perfect with lavender in the spring. I have a thing for antique globes too. Very pretty.

    The wall color is really beauiful...do you know the name of the paint, and would you share?

    Thanks for your lovely comments everyone. I try visiting/following all of your blogs as well.
    The paint color on the wall is called Yucca Plant by Martha Stewart Living but we had it color matched to Glidden eggshell paint. Both are available at Home Depot. :) Hope that helps and please let me know if you actually paint with this color as well. I would love to see it...

    Oooh, I love the Ball jars with the zinc lids. Great find. And the globe looks great perched on top of your cupboards. I just posted about a teeny globe I recently found. I just love them! I'm visiting from Thrift Share Monday. I hope you'll stop by and say 'hi'.
