MAKEUP FOR MATURE SKIN

  I wanted to show some unstaged photos of my living room and Christmas tree at night,and share how to photograph a tree at night. There is something magical about a tree at night. When the lights are on,there is a soft glow and a twinkle on each and every ornament. Even in the glass on my vintage door the reflection is so magical! If you peek through the windows you can see our outdoor lights. As with the inside of our home I keep things really simple outside. Wreaths on the windows,red bows and well, I will have to take some photos soon to show you. I am sure we will get a little snow between now and Christmas,I would like to share it then. I have been asked before how why my tree glows so bright and how many lights do I have on my tree. I think I only have 250 ... View Post

Today I am sharing my holiday master bedroom as part of the home for the holidays tour. Since I am a part of so many tours this year I have been sharing a room with each tour. For the past few years I have wanted a white tree in our bedroom. I found the perfect tree at Walmart! My vintage shabby ornaments look perfect on this white tree,and the lights are so pretty. They have a soft pastel color. Do you wrap your presents in a special spot of your home? I wrap gifts in our bedroom,I don't know why but I always have. I guess it's the only spot in our house where I can close the door and really have privacy. And you need privacy when wrapping gifts for your family :-) I kept my old garden gate on this wall,it makes the perfect backdrop for my tree. I made my tree skirt this ... View Post

How was your Thanksgiving? I enjoyed spending time with my husbands family,with our busy lives we only see each other during the Holidays. Normally before blogging I would have started my decorating today,so I bet many of you are decorating today,or shopping.  Being a blogger I start a month ahead of time,actually on Halloween! I am a part of several blog Christmas home tours,so I will be sharing my home all decorated for the Holidays in many posts,then I will wrap it all up like a big present and share it with you all again. So today I am just teasing you with this one little photo of our bedroom. And to share with you that ,I am happy to be a part of the "Christmas in the Country" Home Tour and Link Party 2014!  I am one of over 40 decorated homes participating in this two week ... View Post

I was searching for fresh wreaths and garland and I stumbled onto Lynch Creek Farms. I was drawn to the beauty and style of there wreaths and garland. And then I read their story. Lynch Creek Farm started out as a hobby,they needed something to keep there children busy and out of trouble. They started out with an organic farm back in 1984,where they sold there goods at the Olympia Farmers Market.It's  the 2nd largest farmers market in Washington State and they still sell there today. I love the story of this family and business. They worked hard and made their dream a reality. You can see the love and care with each piece. When these arrived at my door each piece was packed very well,with a message on the box to make sure and open this right away! As soon as I opened this ... View Post

Recently while I was out treasure hunting I came across this gorgeous vintage Shabby Chic style dresser. I never know what I will come across when I am out treasure hunting. As I have shared before I mostly shop thrift stores and I am really lucky coming across cool vintage pieces. But this one is probably one of my favorite finds ever! This piece screams Shabby Chic! I think if Rachel Ashwell saw it she would be quite happy too! Now I really did not need another piece of furniture for my home. But how could I pass up a gorgeous piece like this? It's hand painted and the patina is absolutely amazing! I paid very little for this piece.lets just say it was under $20.00! Inside this gorgeous piece of furniture it is marked Berkey & Gay which is a very good furniture ... View Post
