My friend Susan has been doing some updating and remodeling. She was ready for a change, and she is of the mindset that is better to give to friends and family than to sell to strangers! That is how I became the proud owner of this cute sofa and wicker chair! It fits perfectly on my sun porch and every time I sit on it...I bless Susan's little heart! I love it!!!
When my paper whites did not bloom at Christmas, I was sad. I just didn't get them into dirt soon enough. This weekend they are in full bloom and they seem to be saying...better late than never! I cut some rosemary to keep the paper whites company and the sweet aroma is filling the house. Hurry up Spring!!!
I'm loving the look of my new burlap drapes. Now, I must admit, ironing the little rascals took some time and effort, but the finished result is just what I wanted. The old brass house letters add a little whimsy. I picked the brass letters up one Saturday morning at a thrif store....I knew there was a spot for them somewhere! My BIL always asks me what I'm going to do with my found treasures. And, my answer...you'll see!
This shudder is another favorite find! I found it at the Habitat for Humanity store, loaded it into the car, and smiled all the way home. I added the blue knob and didn't give the chippy paint a second thought. It is a perfect place to keep my magazines. I got sentimental today...I really miss finding a new Cottage Living magazine in my mailbox. It was my favorite magazine and I miss her like an old friend. Thank goodness I kept every single issue!
