OLD FURNITURE into a NEW LOOK

This was my friends cottage home about a year

ago, that was work in progress. But I'm here to show

you the wonderful results with her hand

me down furniture from her Grandparents.

My friend has it all when it comes to great furniture

pieces. In this room is the coffee table,

two side tables, the couch, two chairs that

were painted white and she added

new upholstering. Isn't the animal print fabulous?

I'm sorry I don't have any before pictures,

but it really made a huge difference with the

way it looks now.

I think she really made out with her

hand me downs don't you think? .... and

did a marvelous job creating a new exciting look.

Enjoy the Holidays and God Bless You

Said My Goodbyes to my old Cottage and on with A NEW HOME AND A CAT-

Hi Girls,

My landlord went into foreclosure and then the county took it

over. It was all meant to be and because of it my husband and I

bought our own home and moved in during the

Labor Day weekend.

I thought I would share some old pictures of

my living room space at the rented cottage. It was

updated somewhat, but I never got around taking any more

recent pictures of that room or any other room for that

matter..... darn it I wish I did! Anyways, after finding out

about what took place... I immediately started looking

for a place to live and boy did I find something grand.

I am totally happy with our new home and it's going

to be a pleasure decorating it inside as well as the outside.

What a relief getting our own home and not be concern

about this and that when renting. Hopefully I'll have

a picture of our New Home.

I also want to mention about this awesome cat we now have in our

life. Something I would never thought in a million years would

ever have. I am not a Cat person, but It just goes to show

you never know what's going to take place in your life. This is an old

picture of our stray cat with some booboos at the time when

he was out there trying to survive last November. He was starving

to death and also cold and before you know it he's now spoiled

and loved very much. I got him neutered and he had all

his shots.

He's now our Baby along with our loved birdies. Yes, it's not

the ideal situation, but I do have it all worked out.

That's it for now..... Take Care and God Bless

Giveaway Wins* from awhile back-

Hi Ladies, I do hope your still out there.....

I suppose your use to it by now. I was getting

so tired of seeing the same post and I know

you were too. Lot's of things has happen to me

since my last post. I will try to get with you at

another time to fill you in with some

news.... so please stay tune. I also want

to thank all my patient followers for hanging

in there..... I really appreciate all of you

and your support.

OK, with that being said lets move on to

my giveaway wins from awhile back*

The last giveaway that I won was this perfect exquisite

case decorated so beautifully and filled

with many delightful treasures,

including a $50.00 gift certificate for Home Depot

from Stefanie at Rose Petals and Rust... what a

generous gift.

Actually, this case reminds me so much of

the romantic pillows that Daphine and Lynda create

which are so lovely.... don't you think? They have a

website daphnenicole and sell

many other fabulous things too, if interested.

Aren't these precious - these were made by Lynn from

Teacupstiches and she went

out of her way to make them for me after

the original giveaway (which was totally a

different thing all together)

was lost in the mail. What a sweet,

kind person she is.... just her style. I had always

wanted some of these and now I have two.

I was excited to win something from

Julie Marie on her blog called Idyllhours and

I adore the mug which I use

quite a bit.... nothing like pink roses.

Here is another great gift, handmade cards made

by Mo herself at Mo's Cottage. I'm still holding on to them...

I just can't seem to part with them just yet.

And lastly this sweet cup & saucer along with

many other extra items Mary had sent me

from her blog called Contrary Mary.

I want to Thank each and everyone of you terrific

blogging ladies for these wonderful gifts...

and to let you know I appreciate every gift

that I had received... I absolutely love

them all very much. I still can't belive I won them. I know it's

been awhile.... way over due, but Thank You

SOOO Much!!

Until next time... Love & Joy to you all

for this New Year.

God Bless

Someone's Home-???

If you like Pink and Roses too, you will

probably like these pictures.

I got these several years ago on Rate My Space

and saved them on my photo library. I don't know

who this home belongs to, but it caught my eye

at the time and still does. She might of changed

since then, as we all do in decorating, but isn't

this pretty? If anybody out there recognizes

this lovely home, please get in touch with me

so I can give her the credit she deserves.

God Bless You,

and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not

submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.

Update: Thank you, thank you ladies for letting

me know. I can't tell you how I tried to find out

who this was. For the rest of you let me introduce to you

the women who owns this beautiful home. Her name is

Nancy and her website is

~~~~~Shuffling things around......

It all started out with this candle chandelier

which goes outside on my porch during

the warmer months.... then I'm stuck

with a hook in the ceiling with nothing on it.

So I ended up putting this basket in its place.

Now, it's on the table in my living room

because

I spotted THIS and purchased it thinking

I was going to give it to my sister. Well, that

never happen. I decided to keep it for

myself and it ended up where the basket was.

Now, it is on my table for Fall.

All I have to do is put some tidbits

on the stand and I'll be all set.

Happy Fall everyone, enjoy it

while it last, for it won't be long for winter. Yikes!!

God Bless You

PINK SATURDAY #5 ((VIGNETTE & YARD SALE DELIGHTS)

It's been awhile since my last post, wouldn't you say?

So on this fine Pink Saturday I'm introducing

a vignette with some weeds as the main

attraction. hehe Hey, if you don't have flowers

to use at the time, why not go out to to your

backyard and fine something to your liking. Well in

my case I live in a rural area with fields, so it

was easy for me. Being as it was in late fall

of last year if not early winter, this is what I found.

I thought it would make an interesting setting.

Here is another thing I would like to share with

you a couple of yard sale delights that

I got a few years ago.

A chair, which was a redo, from dark wood to white

with some stressing and a darling

sheer skirt added to the bottom.

Next, is this charming serving piece that I'm

absolutely crazy about.... It has three pieces to it

and can be separated which is

a good thing too. It also has the

perfect shade of pink with gold edging and it's scrolly

which I find myself attracted to things like that.

Every time I see this piece it reminds me of

what I would love to do if I had an extra bathroom

having it in Pink and Gold with the french

style look to it!

This is it for this post, but if you're in the

mood to get your fill on pinks.... go and visit

Beverly's Blog at How Sweet the Sound and click

on any of the women's blogs that are listed there.

Much love to you all*

God Bless
