Another Project Today, Tomorrow the Tree

I stayed up late last night doing this...

The red is so pretty and shiney.

It makes me smile. 

I recently bought this quilt at the flea market for $40.

It's hand stitched and has so much red in it

that I couldn't resist.

This is gonna be my Christmas corner. 

I'll add some red pillows and some stuffed toys 

for the Grandloves to play with. 

Maybe Callie Cat will stay off of it...

or 

NOT.

The window seat has sat empty for 3 years now.  

After Christmas, I intend to get someone to make me 

pillows and a cushion from nice fabric.  

Today was a good day. 

I helped a friend.

We went thrifting.

I listened.  She listened. 

We shared.

I taught a Bible class.

We prayed together.

Isn't that what community is all about?

Tonight I am at peace.

Pink, pretty please?

Christy said, 

"We don't do pink."

"WHAT?!!!!!!"

"Well, some pink, I guess

maybe an outfit or two."

You know me, a lover of all things white and PINK!

How can she say, "No Pink?"

She says, "Neutrals."

"With a pop of pink, right?"

I was so excited to find this rare piece of pink milkglass or "shell."
I found it in Juliette, GA last Saturday.
It was $12.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT!

She says, "With a pop of coral or aqua."

Okay, okay.

Coral is in the pink family, right???

She showed me some of their ideas from Pinterest.

with a little less aqua and coral 

and more neutrals.

Okay, I can see this,

or this.

Oh, yeah. I'm seeing it.  I'm getting it.

But can I exchange the white bear with a pink one?

I Dream in White and Pink,

Which colors do you prefer?

Does Primitive Mean Old?

Primitive stuff for the primitive-loving folks. 

Does primitive mean old?

Does that mean old stuff for the old folks?

I didn't think so!

Although the quilt had a tag (which means it's not old), 

I bought it because it looked old.

I got it for $12.50 at the estate sale 

that I mentioned on my last post.

The stars are wooden and great!

I need to fill my booth 

so I'm gonna sell the stars

(not the quilt).

I know I will regret later!

Especially since I want to turn one of my rooms 

into primitive-style.

The quilt will be perfect!

Yeah!  

Vintage ornaments! 

A year of hunting should give me a

full tree by Christmas. 

High winds are predicted for Friday

in Central Georgia.  

Hope that doesn't mean more falling limbs.

YIKES!

I'm No Tablescaper

So, I'm no tablescaper,

(is that a word? I don't think so!)

but I wanted to pull together SOMETHING.

These are some of the somethings 

that I found yesterday.

OH MY GOODNESS!

I was jumping up and down and shoutin'

to the top of my lungs

on the inside, when I spotted this

pitcher for, get this---

$7!!!

It is "PITCHER" perfect!

As you can tell, 

it is HUGE!

Well, huge compared 

to a most of my pretties!

I stole borrowed these 

from a neighbors tree-

God forgive me, 

the church's tree.

Shhhhhhhh,  

Well, it's really God's tree, 

right???

I got the IRONSTONE

FOR $1 a PIECE 

from the local flea market.

It's marked Homer Laughlin

made in the USA.

I can't get enough.

The pitcher came from MiMi T's.

Look at that handle.

MiMi T's is one of the places in Warrenton 

that Distressed Donna Down Under

and 

Olive Out

visited yesterday.

Isn't the spout pretty!

I love the setting atop my mama's quilt.

Love the glass drinking jars

with a handle.

Oh, I remember when there

was nothing better than 

a glass of ice cold sweet tea

out of a canning jar or

a peanut butter jar.

And nothing like a hot cup of coffee

out of a heavy ironstone mug.

This is my teeny, tiny dining area.

I wish I had a kitchen large enough

for a farm table, but

my small, 1000 sq. ft.

has been home for 27 years.

It was big enough to raise our children in.

We shared fights and fun

around the table.

We made financial mistakes that 

kept us here,but

my children call it home.

We'll add a kids' table when

the grandkids grow out of the 

highchairs.

And then we'll probably sell

and move to Nashville:)

Home is where the heart is anyway, 

RIGHT?

My children and my heart

live in Nashville.

MORE TO COME, 

Bonnie:)
