I have always had alot
of color in my house. 
The last couple of years
I have been in love with 
everything neutral.
 So I am taking the plunge 
and have been slowly redoing
my house. This is a big step
for me to do without alot
of color. I started off by painting
my walls a light gray. I wasn't to
sure at first if I was going to like it, 
but now after I have lived with it
for awhile, I am loving it. Here is
a small sample of my living room!



My curtains are sheets that I 
bought at an estate sale last spring.
They are cotton and extra long and
I bought new rods and clips to
hang them up with. I loved how they
turned out. I paid $1.00 a piece for them.
They look crisp and fresh!
My niece made the
"Blazing Trails "
pillow and I knew I just had to
have it... I got the cowhide pillow
at a event we went to this last
weekend, and my daughter got
me the zebra pillows for Xmas..


My coffee table I found at one
of our favorite places to shop
this summer. I paid $25.00 for
it and it is cowhide with fringe 
and legs with tree bark on them.


So there is a little taste of my house.

We our now working on our 
dreadful 80's kitchen...
Here is a kitchen I love.. 
I am making some changes...
The stove and dishwasher have
been bought... 
My floors is here to be laid...
A DARK CHOCOLATE BROWN...
Yummy....
I picked up a mirror at a flea
market this weekend... 
My counter tops are done...
Love the way they turned
out....a hint....
BLACK...
Need to pick out a paint color
for the kitchen walls...
And last but not least have to
paint all the cabinets white...
yuck....not looking forward to that
little job...but oh my, it will be worth
it all when I get it done!!!!


I have all these projects that I
want to do...
After the kitchen...
The bedroom....
I am liking this...


But I am really loving this
"BLUE"
right now...


With lots of big fluffy pillows...

 And dreamy curtains that 
that blow in the wind...


 You will just have to stay 
tuned in to see what I do next....

"MERRY CHRISTMAS"
 from my house to yours.... 
This Christmas I have the need to
keep things simple. 
I wanted a small tree this year...
I found this old window which I loved
and knew right away what I wanted to
do with it. It is perfect behind my tree...
Looks like a couple of lil' cowgirls have
new ponies under the tree. I wonder who
Curious George could be for!
  



The star and the snowflakes  are
from the Dollar Store...
I love to try and be thrifty, that way 
I can buy more...





I bought these little wooden 
candy canes at a bazaar ...
My daughter made the little cones
from sheet music and put the
candy canes in then. I loved the
way that they turned out...




My little lamb is so precious...
Her name is "ELSA"
That was the name of the lamb
that the wool came from.
 I loved that the little lady who
made her named her after her friend....

My niece is getting quite crafty
these days. I am becoming on of her
best customers...
She made these little Xmas trees
and put numbers on them. They are
so cute... I wanted one with a
number 5 on it for my five
grandchildren....there wasn't one
so I guess I had to buy two....
 





We have actually been to alot  
of neat little places this Christmas
season... I saw this handmade sock
and fell in love with it...
"And the stocking's were hung".... 

Oh yes, these mittens.....
Luv them....


Little trees are my inspiration
this Christmas Season...
I have fallen in love with them...
I am loving old tarnished silver...
Pine cones painted white....
Old dishes...
 candy cane candles...






Little white wooden trees...


This tree is my absolute  favorite..
It is primitive and handmade
from one of our fellow vendors
and a picture says a thousand words...

  "SIMPLICITY"

My wish for you is to have
 
"A MERRY CHRISTMAS" 
and
"A HAPPY NEW YEAR"

Another one of my nieces pieces...




Small  pillows..
Pony Girl made the reindeer one..

Love anything with bark...



Yep, more little trees...
With a graceful silver deer
sleeping in the wintry forest ...


 Wishing you all much 

"JOY and LOVE"

I wish I had a river that I could skate away on..

Sometimes life throws you a curve ball and
throws your whole center of balance off...

You have to watch those that you love
filled with so many emotions and despair...
A choice one person makes effects the life's
of everyone around you...
You suddenly know that life as it has always
been, will never be the same for anyone...
All you can do is hope and pray that all
those that are hurting will someday find some
peace and forgiveness in their hearts.
And so I say to my two little angel's who
are hurting right now that I wish you the
best of everything that you've ever dreamed of...
I know someday that you will have a
river that you can skate away on and
teach your feet how to fly...
