Arielle. She's so pretty...I am in love with this child! Not only beautiful on the outside, but sweet on the inside. I can't stand the fact that her parents live 1200 miles from me, and I can only see her about every three months! </div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">It has been in my plans to make a Valentine's Day bunting, but I hadn't gotten to it yet. It may not have happened at all, were it not for my oldest daughter...she came for a visit this last weekend and brought the supplies to make them. She and I hadn't even discussed it, but just must have been on the same wave length. Cool, I can check that one off!</span> </div>

During the weekend my daughters and I braved the 50% off day at <a href="http://www.goodwill.org/" target="_blank">Goodwill</a>...This is something I try to avoid, and rarely do, because it is so crazy on those shopping days! (I would rather just go on a regular day, and use the 20% off coupon that you can get online!) But, those girls, they talked me into it...<br />
<br />
(For some reason, it seems that I always get LUCKY with some item, no matter when I pop in there.)<br />
<br />
In any event, for several months I have been trying to find an old ladder for my living
room, and have looked on <a href="http://www.craigslist.org/about/sites" target="_blank">Craigslist</a>, and <a href="http://www.ebay.com/" target="_blank">e-Bay</a>. But to no avail, either I couldn't find
anything, or they were just really overpriced! <br />

Well, just look what I found!!! It's a perfect specimen, and was marked $7.99 @ 50% off, so I got this fabulous well-used, wonderfully blemished and rickety old thing for $4 bucks! Woo hoo! To good to be true...ohmygosh...it will just be amazing once I do a little make-over!<br />

I will be going out of town for a week to celebrate my husband's big 5-0, but check back to see the reveal in a couple of weeks. I will also be posting it on <a href="http://pinterest.com/moogie1979/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a>!<br />

I saw the idea to use old pattern pieces as filler in a couple of the stores we went to and just love the look. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">The gravy boat is my most favorite recent find and was $3 at a little store outside of Houston. It was owned by a nice old gentlemen named, "Bob" who preferred taking checks! Wow! (He told me, "you can just make it out to 'Bob'...they know me down at the bank"!) So cool.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">I love this little gem of a wreath! (It can be found <a href="http://jonesdesigncompany.com/decorate/a-spring-wreath/" target="_blank">here</a> at Jones Design.) I recycled some linen napkins that I purchased at the
Habitat for Humanity Restore (the same linen napkins that I used in making the following pillows in this post). I created this very close to the original, but of course,
made it my own with small silk flowers, an organza ribbon bow and opted for "non-sparkly" eggs. Part of the beauty of it all was that I had everything on hand and just used whatever I found in my craft supply stashes!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Another idea I discovered on Pinterest found <a href="http://witandwhistle.com/2012/01/16/diy-stencil-pillow/" target="_blank">here</a>, a stenciled pillow. Here again, I made it with a couple of my linen napkins. Of course, I too, had to have my own quote...that's the beauty of creating your own stuff from ideas that you see around you! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Mine is actually a quote from Dr. Suess, and if you are a child of the 70's
you would also recognize it as the words to the closing song that Carol Burnett sang at the end of her show each week! I love what it says, as well as, have fond memories of watching
that with my mother when I was growing up.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">I recently visited my son and his family in Texas and while I was there we, of course, went "antiquing". I found this stunning handmade, scalloped edge, vintage apron. (I should probably iron it...) I didn't know how I would display it, but was just delighted with it...then the idea hit me...and I tied it to the stool! Gotta have a bit of whimsy in your life, too cute!</span></div>

I began this project before my son and family arrived, however, needless to say, my efforts were forestalled for a period of time, as a result of their visit, as well as the fact that everyone currently residing in my household (except the baby) has been afflicted with a horrible stomach flu!<br />

Got the black paint on and it's lookin' better, but I now still need to distress the finish. At least with all the time that has passed, it has given the paint a chance to really cure. I'm really looking forward to having this done so that I can get all my dishware off the floor! I will definitely post a picture of the completed project.<br />

And last by not least, LOVE this extremely inexpensive vintage strainer that I happened upon at a thrift store. If this would have been at an antique mall, it most likely would have been a lot more pricey! Did I say that I LOVE it? This is another piece that will be so versatile...for now I will probably fill it with more rag balls.<br />

Just thought I would catch up a bit, things will settle down again next week, when the Texas family head back to their neck of the woods...bummer! I will sorely miss them, but will hopefully get up their way during the summer! <br />

Hope you and yours had a beautiful Easter together!<br />

During the holidays, I decided that I would finally get to it, in the new year, after taking down all the Christmas decorations. My plan has been to take all the green and maroon out of the family room and switch it to the bedroom, then take all the black out of the bedroom and switch it to the family room, then paint the walls a taupe color. <br /><br />This is how the change is coming along so far in the bedroom...<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJBhZ5jgE1m5nx9qnxUJSMUMFeANE5y_CR3TKEZDVM-SiZz-5W8rblHXSKNS5bka0-ig9Ly8tahJXLiZds5RBwpTFifE6aA9R8pUzBGxoitc9WkZXE21lupbdXjDd_0gsRLF4C9cDgSwTW/s1600/IMG_5071.JPG"><img style="display:block;

We dress up in "tea party" attire, wear hats, and use our best manners and "tea party" conversation. It has been a fun tradition that actually got started by accident but we have continued to perpetuate it!<br /><br />Over a decade ago, we had an interior designer friend who became a surrogate grandmother to our family. She had the children over to her house several times for various activities such as, decorating cookies at Halloween, Easter egg coloring and hunting, and then of course the May tea party. Each time she had one of these "affairs", we got to use all of her lovely things and everything was lavishly prepared and very elaborate.<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOuez1ZRS32mnkuDgZMfix42BULYMk6jM588Y1KuXePcDHDCJChh4G6PgbvSOkZAaUIe_IhtB2ZBGwm0kaVkKH01jdTqxPi9ujOKhDyuMjye0pWQbV9c6hyphenhyphenJmy_-IpBH5jYyPz6XGTecV_/s1600/IMG_3827.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOuez1ZRS32mnkuDgZMfix42BULYMk6jM588Y1KuXePcDHDCJChh4G6PgbvSOkZAaUIe_IhtB2ZBGwm0kaVkKH01jdTqxPi9ujOKhDyuMjye0pWQbV9c6hyphenhyphenJmy_-IpBH5jYyPz6XGTecV_/s400/IMG_3827.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5604938437564747634" border="0" /></a>Over the years, I have gradually purchased tea party dishes and items which the girls will be able to take with them when they leave home.
