About Me

Victoria: west hills, ca, United States; Love ,love ,love antiques and the stories behind them. The goal of my blog is to share with others how economically you can decorate your home through thriftstore shopping and repurposing...also to relate a little history behind my finds.I don't wish to take myself too seriously so like to interject a little tongue- in- cheek humor.

John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son,that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. Isaiah41:13 For I the Lord thy God,will hold thy right hand,saying unto thee,fear not:I will help thee.
