Did you know that the color pink is a sign of  hope? I guess that is why they use it in Cancer awareness campaigns. It calms the soul,makes you happy when you are around it. Gives you the feeling that everything is going to be alright. Maybe that is why I surround my self with this color in almost every room of my house. This sweet creamer was added to my cabinet in my dining room,along with a few other pink pieces. Moving things around getting ready for the party. Yes still planning on having it because today I am feeling better than I have  felt  in awhile. My daughter and husband are feeling much better now too. The party is not what is important is is that we are all healthy,but I know my daughter has been looking forward to spending the day celebrating with friends and ... View Post

I thought I would share a little eye candy today,I mean who doesn't like a little eye candy. One of the reasons I love looking through decorating magazines is all the pretty inspirational photos and yes eye candy. Isn't this bag cute! I was sold on it the minute I saw it on Tausha's beautiful blog Simply Me. If you have never visited her beautiful blog before then you are really missing out on beautiful inspiration. Tausha takes  the most beautiful photos of Shabby Chic style and her home is absolutely gorgeous! Yes her blog is filled with beautiful eye candy,so when I spotted this bag on her blog I knew I had to find one. It's totally me....right? It's from Rachel Ashwell's  Bella Mocha line,it's a  tote bag. Love the mocha chocolate brown and the soft pink faded ... View Post

Things are looking a little shabby on my porch. Playing around a little more today this time in the corner of my porch,adding my little pink shabby table. And that chippy green ladder too,but only for photos. I think I forgot to mention this in my last post but that hole I had in my screen is now fixed. My husband and I both replaced it on Mothers day,it was a two person job. Since it's so chilly we have not been able to really enjoy sitting outside. Okay so I am thinking of adding this to the porch for the party,but not for sure,I am a little paranoid about putting things that could possibly get knocked over any where near the screen after that incident. So most likely this may just be for photo purposes only. Just for fun I added this sweet vintage pink dress I found months ... View Post

Today was such a gloomy day that I decided to play out on the porch and start getting ideas for planning our party. It's crazy it is spring but it was only in the 50's today,I am really longing for summer and heat. I guess it's about time I started planning our party it's only a few weeks away! I have been so busy finishing up projects that I have not even thought about what I wanted to do...well until today. I am getting ideas of how I want to set things up,setting this up visually gives me a better idea. See that old pink drawer? It was in the shop of  White Lace Cottage But it did not sell so I decided to keep it and enjoy it for awhile. That is why I buy only what I like,if I don't sell it then I can enjoy it. I am thinking of using my green ball jars and adding roses to it ... View Post

No editing here at all,notice I forgot to take my readers off the top of my head....oh well. By the way.....great shot of the freeze frame.... Okay here we go are you ready?   This took a little longer than I thought it would. I hope it gets easier because I would like to do this more often. Not every week but I would like to share tutorial videos and answer questions on this platform. Do I really have an accent?Everyone tells me I have a Midwestern accent.
