Shots of my Darling Daughter's house.......she's so much fun and likes LOTS of stuff too! No point in having any wasted space, now is there??? :-)

I love, love, love this shelf.........I'm thinking I should sneak in one day when she's not home and swipe it.........think she'd notice???

Table..........Mummy's
Chair.........Mummy's
Lamp.........gift from Mummy
But really.......it works the other way too! I have lots of things from
her house too!

Sweet little baby picture...........Yeah...........me..........
I love her angel collection. I want to swipe those too!

Just too sweet, isn't it???

Love the angel wings too! :-)

Yeah.........more from her Mummy.............I just finished this little lovely for myself and my dearest husband gave it to her............I sure miss it!


Oh my gosh........I had so many things to do today and have spent most of the day sitting here trying to get things to work. What a process. I have made some great discoveries along the way, but still haven't accomplished my first objective. Reallllllly........how hard can this be??? Well, if you're me.........just pretty dang tough!

I'm going to keep right on working on it. I think the books will help! Hopefully... ;-)

Sunny Smiles and Best Wishes for
A Wonderful Weekend!

Mmmmmm..... PINK! Aren't the lovely?

Little dogs..........so cute! We actually have many of the same ones!

Handmade lampshade......Jan taught me how to do these little lovelies. They're actually pretty easy and have so much punch to them, don't they?

Another hand made shade.........and BIRDS!.....and ivy.........and tole trays!

My sweet friend, Jan, and I finally got together for a visit. We can't figure out why we wait so long to make time for a long chat and a yummy lunch! It had been months since we'd been together and did we ever talk up a storm.........you know how it is when you're with someone you just love and you're both chatters?? We talk so fast, and over each other......and laugh and laugh and LAUGH! It's such good fun. Why do we wait??

We LOVE the same things........Jesus, family and our HOMES! It was amazing, the first time we met, how alike our decorating styles are. We love tole trays, little dogs, birds, ivy, little vignettes and black (we both use it liberally). We look forward to Jennifer's new featured home at The Old Painted Cottage and chat about the look of each month's home. It's a great way to get ideas!

Jan is a hooker..........no..........not THAT kind......she is an EXPERT rug hooker. Oh my, they are just delicious. I do so many different arts, but I'm telling you, I'm having so much trouble mastering hooking. I have so much money invested in frames, I just HAVE to learn. We're going to be working on that as soon as I pick out a pattern. I've learned how to dye wool.........and I know what I like......I've discovered that just doesn't get the rug finished, however.

The snow is melted from yesterday, so I'm out and about today, doing some of the things that didn't get done yesterday. Whoooooppeee!

I hope your day is blessed!
Warmly, Spence
