Hi!!  How is everybody?  I have missed you all terribly. I must apologize for the tardiness of posting.   I can hardly believe that I haven’t posted since the beginning of February.  I have to give mad props to all the ladies who can manage to post multiple times per week.  I don’t know how [...]

Hi!  How are you?  Have you missed me? Working has put a little bit of a damper on my creative juices.  I have just been too tired to even think about being creative.  But that hasn’t stopped me from hitting the thrift stores a couple of times.  So let’s see what I’ve found lately. First up, [...]

Wow, I can NOT believe it’s been six months since I actively started blogging.  If you want to be real technical, my first three (trial) posts were in January 2010.  But I don’t really count those, since I really didn’t have any clue what I was doing.  {Some days I wonder if I know what [...]

I’ve always been awed by a beautiful sunset.  Even more so when there are one or more trees silhouetted with the blaze of oranges and yellows.  Add in some blues right along the horizon and I’m mesmerized. Today, I just want to share the beautiful sunset I viewed a couple weeks ago.  These shots are [...]

Wow…I still can’t believe Christmas has come and gone and been almost all put away.  We still have some outdoor lights to take down but hubby has unplugged the lights on the white picket fence and the lighted snowflake icicles hanging from the gutters.  The only thing left lighted out front is the the up-lights [...]

  Just a quickie little post to share some of my thrift store finds… All four of these vintage Avon bottle Christmas ornaments were a whopping 25¢ each.  There were several others and now I’m kicking myself for not buying all of them.  But I only picked out the ones that fit with my copper [...]

  The hubby and I are not live tree people.  The first year together we bought a live tree.   Apparently neither one of us ever watered it and we both ended up with allergy issues.  Not one of our most favorite memories.  We’ve had artificial trees ever since. Three years ago when we bought [...]

  Hi and Welcome back. What a week this has been.  I had every intention of getting a post done last Tuesday, but that took a back seat to the water disaster in our finished basement.  (I posted here about the remodel.)  I spent a good part of the day going over the carpet with an extractor, [...]

  Welcome Back Folks!  It’s time again for Sunday’s Best Party co-hosted with Cathy at My 1929 Charmer. If you missed the Sunday’s Best Wrap Up Party yesterday, you can still check out the most viewed link and features here. Let’s see if we can break the 100 link mark this week.  Feel free to bring [...]

Yay!  We hit 100 links this week!!  Thank you soooo much for joining up and making the Sunday’s Best Party so much fun. The most viewed link this week came from Mimi at Messy Mimi.  Her berry pink bread box is so bright and cheerful.  Such a dramatic change from the ’70′s original.  Plus she’s [...]
