All Dressed Up For The Holidays


I love this rusty iron cherub. She is one of the first things you see when you walk in my house, right on the kitchen counter!

How to Mistreat your Windows, learned from the notorius and famous Nester at "thenester.com"

these are just fabric pinned on a rod, fringe pinned on the fabric, and the bottom fabric is tacked to the wall with little nails... oh yeah and there is a mistreated chair in the photo too!, i'm so bad...
below is just a canvas dropcloth $9.00, and some clippy things, around $6.00, and some burlap ribbon my friend gave me....

Nester at " thenester.com " one of the funnest bloggers in the world is doing an ebook about window mistreatments, which is stuff that we lazy ladies do to our windows to dress them up... which doesn't involve lots of money, time, or patience. My windows are so mistreated that i'm pretty sure it's illegal. they are pinned together, nailed up or clipped on. No hundreds of dollars and lining...or interior decorators... no jillion dollar a yard fabric....No sewing or anything... so, here are some photos i'm submitting to be one of the worst window mistreaters in the world... i'm so proud....

Starting to Decorate for Christmas

Once Upon a Time....



Once upon a Time, an impulsive crazy lady was at the flea market, and she saw a purple chair. Even though it didn't match anything in her house, she bought it...

A New Painting




I'm pretty sure i'm finished with her,... If you can still get your hands on a painting, it's rarely finished, sometimes you just have to stop...

Love this Chair !




This shade of pink is so easy on the eyes.... and what a precious little birdie from my friend's shop "Spruce Antiques" in Hillsborough. Here is one of the few smaller paintings I did of some wildflowers, sitting right smack in the middle of an amazing old oval frame....

What I Wore


do you ever put together a cute outfit, but then never remember it again, ever ever...? well that happens to me all the time, so i decided if i pulled off something that i liked, i'd take a little photo and put it in my closet... another blogger features "what i wore", so i think i'll do that too.. the little scarf is actually a little flimsy blouse in the prettiest fabric, that was waaaaaay too small for me... so i repurposed it! i hope showing "what i wore doesn't seem vain or eggocentric, i don't really think i'm that great, but i do think it's fun to see how people put together different outfits,,, usually i'm way to ADD to look normal at all..

If you want to pay a small amount, for an amazing, unbelievably thorough, imaginative, talented lady to help you do a redo on a room in your house, you would be lucky as anything if you could get Jennifer from "theoldpaintedcottage" to help you. i'm gonna try to grab her button, but if i can't you HAVE go to her site, and watch in wonder at the transformations she did in her before and after photos, just click on "cottage 8" on her site, and your jaw will drop to the floor... plus she features a cottage of the month every month, and it is SO fun!
