Updated Valentine Tree and a Gift From Blogger!

I really didn't care for the red tree afterall, so I decorated my Radko tree instead. I like it better!! It shows off the ornaments much better! I need to get more checked silk fabric to make a skirt for my tree.

See the black and white candle in the last photo? It was sent to me by Sarah of Hyacinths for The Soul! What a great surprise to find this in my mailbox today! So sweet...I love it!
If you haven't been to her blog, you MUST run....don't walk over and see all the fabulous photos and her writings about her home and life. It is always full of life!

I also changed my blog...borrowed a background until I have time to create my own...I did change my header image a bit...I am liking it better with a little pizazz!! Don't you?

I'll be adding a Giveaway in the next week, so keep an eye out for it. It will be something to do with Valentine's Day!!

Have a Creative Day!

Warm Hugs....Linda

ps...I apologize for the photos...they were taken with my phone

Where Are The Days Going?

Well, I thought I would be able to get to my blog daily...okay, well at least weekly. But there is so much to do and the days seem to be getting shorter and shorter.

I have been painting the inside of my house. Rich buttery walls with pure white trim. It looks so fresh and clean. I didn't take before pictures, as usual. I am always just diving into new projects and the camera is NEVER around. I also found two wonderful shabby pieces that will go perfectly in the dining area. See the pictures below. I am still working on filling the cabinet and playing around. It won't look the same tomorrow!

Now, my new project (in between all the house painting) is to remake and paint a console I found on Craigslist. Yesterday I took the drawers out (to be repurposed at a later date), removed the legs and gutted it. Today I will attempt to smooth out the carved wood in front. It doesn't work in the design I will be painting it in, so I'll have to redo it (it won't come off after many wacks with a hammer...hehehe).

So High ho high ho...it's off to work I go...yadda...yadda.yadda.

Ya'll have a great day!!
