Also I saw a chair leave the thrift store today that was to die for, as I watched it go into another persons car, I was already dreaming of where I was going to put it, darn if I had just been a few minutes earlier.

Strawberry Carrier & Moss Covered Balls

In the mood to change my fire place mantel, found this strawberry carrier antiquing for $15.00. I decided to go shopping at one of my favorite shops and she had these moss covered balls marked down and had ordered new greenery which looks so real, you would have to touch it to see if it was real or not. I love to change things out often and rearrange things,who knows what will be up there next week. Have a great Sunday.

Around The House

I found a place for my white table, in my kitchen but my husband not to keen on the idea. I told him we will leave it for a while to see if we like it. He likes everything clean and sparing, me the more the merrier. Also the cabinet and the arrangement is over my toilet in the bathroom. The shaving cabinet is a 1800's piece i found at an auction awhile back the arrangement i did myself. Hope you are enjoying your Sunday!!!

Perennial Garden

I have really gotten into more gardening this year and landscaping. I'm getting ready to take a spot on the side of my house were there are big trees and nothing grows under it and plant a perennial garden with large rocks and a rusty patina bird bath, i have also found a fountain that i want for a place between my house and garage. These are some of the flowers that will be planted.

Dogwood In Bloom

After work today, I decided to take some pictures, I notice in the back yard all the leaves and dogwoods in bloom. It just was so peaceful and the lake was shinning like diamonds. So relaxing after a day at work.

Farm Table Redo

Hope everyone had a great weekend, it has been so beautiful here. Thought i would share a project I did on this old farm table. The farm table had been orange and then they tried to paint it a brown color. I decided I wanted it to be cream, so I sanded and painted it with a cream satin paint and then distressed the heck out of it. I love the results. Now i don't know if i want to put it on my back porch, let my daughter have it as a desk or use it in my kitchen.

Love these pictures, I would like to have another pond someday. I had one at our old house, I did everything, I even dug all the dirt myself, gathered rocks of the side of the road to planting all the flowers. When we sold the house the one thing they talked about was my pond. It wasn't a large pond but very manageable.
