Tweaking is All I Can Do


Things that don’t require a lot of energy but things I needed to do, it bothers me to just sit around. So I ‘d tweak something little and then rest, it has taken me all day to do these few things.
The picture is sitting there and has to be hung but I did put the clock knobs from Hobby Lobby on this stand in my entryway. I had glass ones from Target on there and got tired of them, this gives it a more Pottery Barn look! The little tray I painted with homemade chalkpaint in Cottage White

Have I ever showed you my vintage fan? It was given to us from a friend of ours it works but it is noisy. It’s right off the entryway and you can see it when you come in the front door.

When I left work yesterday I stopped at GW, shouldn’t have bothered because there wasn’t anything there…so pitiful! Really! I have to find a new place to go because our GW is nothing but junk anymore but I didn’t walk out empty handed I found this faux fern that still had the price tag dangling off of the plant and it said it was $14.99 and I got it for $2.49!
008
I needed some height between the baskets and this worked out great! Ahh,I still can’t believe the cabinets are white. lol
004
Now lets go outside…here’s my wreath I made for spring, I took out the pink tulips and added these two pink flowers for summer.
006
Stush brought up my rocking chair from the basement and I put the same pillow on as last year just didn’t feel like going down and looking over my outdoor pillows so this will have to do until I feel like myself !
007
In the back yard my Climates is starting to bloom, it blooms in the spring but not summer and I can’t figure out why. It’s going to be beautiful when all the buds are open, I think this is the third year for it!
003
We have so much to do in the front and back yards, I never knew how you bloggers in the south got to be outside way before us Pennsylvanians until I started blogging, your homes are all so finished looking for the summer and oh, so pretty!002
Here is my Rhododendrons,blooming so pretty! Did you know this is my favorite time of the seasons? Love it! Today it was 87 here, and no humidity so beautiful!
005
I’m joining these parties and so happy to be able to , you see today I found out that an old, past friend, I think we all have those, has been really sick and I’ve felt bad but the only thing I could do was say a prayer for her.

A Few Presents!

 

Hello everyone, happy, peaceful Sunday to you! I had a wonderful birthday week and only have one more party to go to with just one more birthday cake to eat then it will be over till the end of August. Whee! Thank you to all that stopped by to wish me a happy birthday, surprisingly I didn’t get all freaked out turning 61 I just would think about the quote on pinterest  “ Don’t regret growing older, it’s a privilege that’s been denied to many” I thought I had pinned the quote but didn’t! This quote puts things in perspective don’t you think?

Believe me I got a lot of gift cards and went shopping Friday with my bff…Hobby Lobby was first and I found this cute birdhouse and with my 40% off coupon I think I got it for 6 something! Cute, black with some white French scrolling!  When I buy a Boston fern for here I’ll put the birdhouse on the tree stump in the front of the yard. Soon there will be flowers in the window boxes and I can’t wait!

Hobby Lobby had their baskets at 50% off so I picked up the middle one, the one on the left I had and the one on the right I used for Chris when he was a baby my mom had made a liner for itSmile The top of my cabinets are really coming along for me, Kelly of The Essence of Home has the most beautiful style that I just love and loved the top of her cabinets with baskets! If you have never visited her blog stop over because her home is fabulous!

I thought I’d show you the other side of the kitchen with my milk crate that was in the garage, I was blog hopping and noticed on one blog a milk crate and it reminded me of the one under the work bench. Out it came, I emptied it out and dusted it off and now it’s on top of my cabinets, amazing where you can find things and best of all it was free! Love those!

010

We stopped at Ikea and got lost inside, so confusing to me.lol Anyway I bought these tin pots for .79 each and the greenery for 6.98 each I bought three and put one here on my open shelves!

003

Another went on this side of the mantel, if your ever in Ikea stop and see these because they are really lifelike for faux plants. I had a real ivy one here but it didn’t’ make it, so if I want greenery around my home I have to resort to faux ones.

004

I placed this one on my shelf above the couch, you can see how having live or good faux greenery really adds to the arrangement  that you do!

Hope you enjoyed seeing a few of my presents…love to shop♥

Spring Copy Cat Party!

Hello Peeps, it’s time once again for DebbieDoo’s Spring Cop Cat Challenge! Between these copy cat parties I’m always on the look out for a good Copy cat, I usually do that with my Pottery Barn Catalogs but this time I chose my Ballard Designs catalog to copy from, it’s on page 85 if you want to take a peek. A few months ago I had bought a .99 cent bulletin board at GW and there it sat until I could figure out what I wanted to do with it, then I saw this page and knew this was how I’d do it!
P3112615
Mine measures 17x23 and I figured I made it for roughly about $3.99 , theirs however cost $49.00 for a 15x20 smaller than mine! I added my own take on it by using a black ribbon to hang it with. Also the little girl’s picture is me taken in Kindergarten
P3112616
I have to get some push pins so for now I’m using straight pins, Ballards has them for $18.00 for 12 but I think I’m going to go on Etsy and look.
P3112619
Took me about a half an hour to do as far as stapling the burlap to the back and I also used a yard stick to try and keep the nail heads even! I had a picture of everything before I started on it but accidently deleted it on my camera..darn!

Sort of wasn’t into this because today is my mom’s birthday and I sure was missing her.
