take me out for a bike ride

as you may have noticed, I took a two day blogging holiday. I was pretty tired from my trip to Atlanta and needed to catch up as well as do some thrifting. I was having absolute thrifting withdrawals. after a pretty successful thrifting day yesterday and a good night's sleep, I am once again feeling like my "old' self and ready to get back up on the saddle. 


is there anything more exhilarating than a bike ride? fresh air, the wind blowing through your hair. but what do you do when that old faithful bike has passed its prime.

vintage bicycles, whole or in part, make great focal point both inside and outside your vintage home.

I would love to have one of these beauties in my garden. I think I will definitely be on the lookout over the winter. It's going to be part of my spring garden planning during the cold months ahead.

  1. They are beautiful old works of art. And they need to be shown and preserved and kept for posterity. I want one now too!
