Spring Yet?

This is how I am feeling lately…bored so bored that I’m taking pictures of myself, could
be worse I guess. Lol Chambry shirt Marshall’s!
February! 004
I thought I’d be done with this dresser by now but they sent me the wrong color
of chalkpaint, they sent me white(Everlasting) instead of black (Carbon), now I’m waiting for the black to be delivered.
I’m going to paint the inside o f the top two drawers black and buy two matching baskets
to use to hold movies and any other stuff! I’ll also be using the four drawers for runners and
tablecloths that I have in the bottom of my hutch which will give me more room for dishes in there!
February! 007
I know…my diningroom again but hey, remember I was bored.Smile
At least I took it from this angle with the afternoon sun streaming in!
February! 001
I’m keeping the white paint they sent by mistake, there are a few pieces of
furniture I want to repaint especially my white end tables one was my husband’s
mother’s and this one I found at Goodwill.
February! 005
February! 006
The basket I bought at Marshall’s finally got filled, I remembered today that I had
some faux red apples in my stash in the basement!
February! 003
Don’t they look real?
February! 002
I think they do:)
Can you see my new watermarks on my pictures? I tried different sizes and designs,
I still have to practice more but found it easy to do and not as hard as I thought!
So I’d  like to thank sweet Dawn @ Creative Cane Cabin for posting about how to
create a transparent watermark on Picmonkey! Thanks also for always sharing Dawn,
without you I would never try but your tutorials are always easy and doable!
I’ll be at these parties:
Happy Valentines Day♥

Moving Things Around

Hello all, to those on the east coast… are you tired of snow?

I know I am although we haven’t got it as bad as some.

I know a lot of you are preparing for the Super Bowl forgive

me for not being to excited, I’m a Steeler fan! But I do know

who I want to win and that’s the Seahawk’s!

Now on to more exciting things, I’ve been changing things

around and it sure has given the house and me a little bit

more energy to play!

 

january 002

In my livingroom after all the Christsmas stuff was

put away I switched from the red to black and white.

You can see my furry pillow there from Walmart! The

snowball wreath I found at Marshall’s and I left it out

because it sure goes now! I also bought a new lamp at

Target for there on the end table…I’ll show you soon!

january 009

 

Now my hutch had all my tureens on top, I think I have six, I

left the bread basket there and moved the tureens to my step

back cupboard!

 

 

january 008

I’m pretty sure I have a small tureen to put on top

of those books on the bottom shelf!

 

january 006

I always have to move this desk out so I can put our

tree in it’s place and I’ve been thinking of painting it

black.

 

january 007

 

I changed the top of it too!

january 010

 

I hope your team wins but right now at half time they

are tied!

Winter Blahs

Hello everyone, I know I’ve been gone for a while
but I guess I just hit a brick wall with blogging
plus it is January only three more days and it will
be gone for another year! It’s been hard doing
projects because of the weather and temps, we
have had some cold weather here in Pa. I asked
Stush bring in a dresser so that I could paint it.
I got a lot done on it but then ran out of paint,
we ordered the Deco Art paint from Home Depot.
So here it sits in the keeping room which I am turning
into a tv room and I don’t know if I’ll keep my desk
in here or not. The drawers are all done just have to
put a second coat on the body of it then wax it!
PicMonkey Collage
I’ve decided to clear out a lot of “stuff”I
see many of you doing the same and I know one
thing it has made me feel better. We have the
snow and cold here in Pa. until March so I try
to do some changing around like moving things
that have been in one spot for a year or more
and changing vignettes too! This is my coffee I
I did I’m loven the black, white and green!
january 004
Of course shopping is the best therapy, I
love to shop! I took the wire baskets from
where I had them above the stove and moved
some cookbooks over but then I was stumped
until I saw these cute little bowls at TJMaxx!
i phone 018
I always have trouble with a centerpiece for my
diningroom table because we do use it practically
everyday so I was looking for something that could
be moved easily. I found this basket on the
clearance shelf and knew this would be easy!
january 011
Thanks for stopping by, I promise to be back
again this week…happy hump day!
I enjoy Instagram if you would like to follow along with
me I’d love to have you! There is a button at the top
of my page just click on it and it will take you there!
I’ll be joining these parties:

My bedroom so far…I had to have a lighter color rug so that if I dropped something I could see where it was!
Bedroom 2014 002
The mirror is also a jewelry  box, which I love for all my jewelry.
Bedroom 2014 003

Antique and Retail Finds


Hello everyone! I do apologize for not posting lately, I just haven’t felt like it to tell the truth. I still haven’t found out the results of the biopsy yet, I guess it takes more than a week for them to get the results back. I do love to blog just had to take a backseat with it.
We had so much fun in Winston Salem, North Carolina. Jennifer’s birthday surprise turned out great! The weather was chilly though and the day we were to leave there was an ice storm, not to bad but we had to put off leaving for home for a couple hours.
We did a fun visit while there… in Mount Airy, which is the home of Andy Griffith star of The Andy Griffith Show and Mayberry RFD. Having grown up with Andy, Barney, Opie and Aunt Bea, I wanted to see the place that Andy fashioned his show from. I’ll do another post on it because there are just to many pictures that I took.:)
I will show you this one picture of the antique store I bought some neat things at. Two large floors of goodies!
007
I had a wonderful time there just looking around and the owners were very friendly as was anyone that we talked to that day.
Ok, this is what I found, nothing big or expensive.
I found this picture of a young lady, she just caught my eye, she was 20% off so I only paid $6.00 for it, the frame is old too so I thought I got a deal on her. Next is my very first doorknob, I don’t know if it’s brass or not, doesn’t matter, I guess this is a start of a collection for me because I can’t wait to fill a basket with them.
antique finds 001
antique finds 002
I’m so sorry I thought I had taken pictures of the other two things I found, one is from my first yardsale of the season in N.C., oh well, I guess I’ll just go on to the retail things I found and show you the others in my next post.
The pillow I found at Burlington and thought it would go nice in my office! Do you see what I did with all the Ball jars I have! I just piled them into a wire and burlap basket, now if I need one they are there.
antique finds 004
I bought a new bulletin board at Marshall’s and gave the one I made to my daughter, mine just looked to small on this wall this one fills it up nicely.
antique finds 003
antique finds 007
I stacked my two suitcases, something I’ve never tried before, at the antique store I saw one for $25.00, I paid $5.00 for the brown one with college emblems on it at the flea market one year and the turquoise one a $1.00 at an estate sale.
antique finds 006
The small suitcase I found at TJMaxx, I had seen it a while ago and was surprised to still see it there. I just fell in love with the blue, glass jar with the rope around it on clearance for $5.00.
antique finds 008
antique finds 009
The room is coming along, a lot of moving things here and there and just trying to get it right I guess. My next purchase will be anew rug for in here, I can’t have anything light because this is a high traffic area so I’m going to take my time with looking for one!
antique finds 010
You will find me at these parties:
Thank you so much for stopping by my blog, I always appreciate it! I know I have a lot of friends I need to respond to but I do hope you understand why I haven’t been around.

Happy Valentine’s Day & Other News


This morning I had to get the girls on the bus so I had to wake up early, I came out to put the coffee on and found these on my desk!
Hoosier 2013 007
About an hour after I got home a florist van pulled into the driveway and delivered this beautiful bouquet from the girl’s. A very nice Valentine’s Day for me.
Hoosier 2013 008
I still have to get drawer pulls for the desk but it is so nice to sit here and blog even with out the hardware on them, I can also see who pulls in the driveway too, which is nice, I’m enjoying watching the View again and my other programs on my TV that’s on the bookshelf.
Hoosier 2013 013
I love having my own space… plus cleared out the room too, it was time for a change in here!
Hoosier 2013 014
I finished the hoosier and still have to distress it and the desk
Hoosier 2013 001
I already changed the top of this, you can see my dad’s yardstick on the top but it doesn’t stay on very well, I used those glue pads and they didn’t work so it’s back in the corner again.
Hoosier 2013 010
My other “news” is they called me in for another mamo I was supposed to go tomorrow but they called to say the doctor wouldn’t be in that day and he had to be there for the tests, so now I go on Monday at 9:30 in the morning.  Gheece, now I have all weekend to worry! I know I shouldn’t worry but as you know it’s easier said than done, the what if’s keep popping into your mind!
Happy Valentine’s Day to everyone of you sweet people that stop by, I’ve really enjoying this part of my life, to be invited into your beautiful homes is such a honor!
It’s not all about the comments and stats, it’s about the niceness and friendliness of people who count.
I’ll be joining these parties ( I love linky party’s )

Christmas Vignettes Around my Home


Hello all! I hope your days are getting a little better, I have been feeling down since last Friday but had to shake out of it because of family and to celebrate our Saviors birthday. So…I thought I’d show you a little of what I did around my home.
These pomegranates I found in a very primitive store a about 4 years ago, I have them in a white ironstone bowl on some faux greenery sitting on my kitchen counter.
Christmas 2012 014
For some reason I didn’t bring out my Christmas tree that I bought when I was single so I put the ornaments that I used on it in another ironstone bowl. These are sitting on the stepback cupboard.
Christmas 2012 004
I think the berries look so pretty in the jute vase I made, which was so easy to do.
Christmas 2012 015
I don’t think I ever showed this enamelware pot that my BIL gave me, I have it sitting on my shelves in the keeping room.
Christmas 2012 009
There it is sitting with my snowmen!
Christmas 2012 008
My Cupcake Santa and canvas from Tjmaxx or Marshall’s, I can’t ever keep those two stores straight.lol
Christmas 2012 011
I found this plaque at a yardsale this past summer for $2.00, nice size too, about 9x12 and breakable, I should make a cocoa station in front of it…but when? I’m going shopping today and work tomorrow so maybe next year!
Christmas 2012 010
This is above my couch, I just added a wreath that I’ve had for years!
Christmas 2012 005
Thanks for stopping by and taking the time out of your busy day to visit!
I’ll be joining these parties:
Wow Us Wednesday @ Savvy Southern Style
Primp Your Stuff @ Primp
Tuesday’s Treasures @ My Uncommon Slice of Suburbia
