Well, the sun is finally shining here in MN...and on my DOLLHOUSE SHELF. 
Someone on HOMETALK called it a "Time Share"...love it :)

 And I stopped "begging" for sun in my Spring...turned SUMMER MANTEL.
We've been busy here.  
And if you follow me on INSTAGRAM, you might know that...
Chipping with Charm: #Shelfieaday for May...http://www.chippingwithcharm.blogspot.com/
 I've been having fun posting a #shelfieaday in May with some other blogging friends.

 The lilacs are blooming...

 ...and so are the dandelions.

 We've been "bird watching".
In addition to many other wonderful things that Spring has to offer.

And with Summer approaching...

I'll be spending LOTS of time with these little "charmers" :)
 Which means, I will be in and out with posts and projects.  And like usual, I'm taking the "pressure to post" off of myself.  I want to enjoy every minute...no regrets. 
Thanks for understanding!  
I will continue to post little daily junky "tidbits" of what I am up to on Instagram...that I will also "share" on Facebook and Twitter.  I hope you will follow along with me there too :)

 Happy Summer sweet friends!

Vintage Doll House, Repurposed Shelf...and empty clock photo holders...


Chipping with Charm: Repurposed Dollhouse Shelf...http://www.chippingwithcharm.blogspot.com/
 You may have seen a little peek at this a couple of weeks ago on Facebook and Instagram...

Chipping with Charm: Repurposed Dollhouse Shelf...http://www.chippingwithcharm.blogspot.com/

I've had this vintage doll house on a shelf in my basement for years.
 I finally brought it up and out of that sad place.

 I think it makes a fun little shelf in my Great Room.

The windows were missing...so I just used some scrapbook paper to cover them up.

  Filled with some vintage clocks and signs...it has a new lease on life :)

 Side note...
I bought a couple of these empty clocks at an occasional sale a while back.  A little embellishment and a button magnet makes it a great place for a special family photo.

It has a new home on top of this little Ikea cabinet.  I bought it to stash some of my creative supplies in the dining room portion of my Great Room...aka "studio".

Chat soon,

Chipping with Charm: Fish Basket Mannequin...http://www.chippingwithcharm.blogspot.com/


I received so many nice comments on my "fish basket turned mannequin" in my last post that I decided she "deserved" her own post...
