It’s Cloudy here..

The Sun is shining, the birds are singing happily, the dog & barn cats are awaiting their breakfast, but My Darling and I are lounging. We are just enjoying one more day together.

 One more morning to talk quietly.

One more morning to make plans and dream as we drive through the beautiful country in our little red jeep. One more day to hold hands together in church.

One more day to just enjoy the beauty of God’s plan ,  when he places two souls together in sweet harmony.

Even though the birds are singing and the sun is shining brightly , the news we received this past Wednesday has put a grey cloud over us. 

No one else can see the cloud- but it is there. We can feel it-

sense it there somehow, draining us of our JOY.

There will be days like this.

Days we do not like . . . (  Maybe even hate )

Days we wish had not come.

But one thing I do know is that we are not alone.  We have someone Great 

and Wonderful to cling to. Someone that is always available- and He is Holding our Hand at this very moment.

It’s Cloudy Here. 

Keep us in your prayers. I know the Sun is shining- just not

in my heart today.

Till next time-

Neked Bath- Covered

Ok- back to the NEKED ( naked )  bathroom-

Bare would be an understatement !  Im also thinking that BORING would 

have been a good fit.

This is where the story ended last time.

So, like any good decorator I went on a “seek & find “ mission, borrowing

from several areas of my house to put together a new look. More interesting . . . . 

and definitely cost effective !

The one thing I purchased that I had seen at Market this past trip was a striking botanical -    ( which I happen to l-o-v-e ) that was under $ 20.00. It was a jumping

off point for me. After stealing - Umm.... I mean borrowing all over my house, I worked on and off while My Darling was napping to come up with a guest bath that made me proud !

This is the print I loved and yes, this is a turtle shell my Dad

cleaned up for me years ago.. love it too !

And of course - Vintage Linens

Little snippets of personality.. a shell frame, pretty plant , family photos

A grouping created with Remnants from a Vintage Show.. and dried flowers from Thanksgiving. ( Yep )

Vintage Frames - Layered

A glass bottle with dried botanicals , a silver tray with hand towel and a little decorated spool of thread . Just a little

more personality. . . 

Before I go- please continue to pray for us as we go yet again back to Houston for Scans & New testing to see if the new Chemo treatments have been effective. We need some good days ! 

And some more sweet time together. . . 

Till next time-

Don’t get too excited- these are not my little guest bath , just inspiration

for those of you dealing with the Oh, my gosh- my rooms look empty after

Christmas syndrome !

I know we go through this every year, and who hasn’t felt like a room

here or there was NEKED ?  ( or for those of you non-Texans simply translated - Naked ) 

Mine just happens to be a very often used bathroom . . . . 

After dismantling all the Christmas last week, I discovered that I really

never liked Anything in my downstairs bath.. the one that EVERY guest

uses. 

Correction:  Last week was a blur- My Darling and I spent time at the Cancer clinic several different days.... he needed to be hospitalized, but with so much flu and God knows what going around.. every bed was occupied. We thankfully were given the best of care at the clinic and allowed to go home. SO, I was super behind and My Mom & Aubrie came through like champs - taking ALL of my Christmas things down, putting it away... cleaning, helping ALL over the house so that I could email, text and call back every friend & family member with updates on My Darling.

Who can give a big CHEER for having a wonderful, loving family that will just jump right in and help ?  We also had my Dad & brother-in-law taking down

outside lights, fixing plumbing issues, the list goes on and on... THANKS

Seriously we are so grateful for every one that continues to hold us up- in

thoughts and prayers , as well as the mundane “ house- hold “ issues. This

allows me some break and lets me focus on the main concern, which is

My Darling.

Yes ,  yes ,  back to the NEKED ( naked )  bathroom-

Bare would be an understatement !  Im also thinking that BORING would

have been a good fit.

In the next post, which will be sooner than later- I will show you the

before and afters of the Bare , Neked , Naked or Boring bathroom.. you 

can be the judge of which word best describes it. Maybe we will have

a contest - Umm. Food for thought.

Till next time-   VERY SOON

Vintage silver napkin rings. To see them in great detail
you can visit the website. Found via pinterest thru one of my favorite blogs.
 ( love their blog ) Mona at Providence Design
had these pinned. Beautiful ! 

I’ve not had a lot of time to think back over this past year- a rough one for us with My Darling’s illness, but enough time to be thankful that we have a New Year to enjoy !

Speaking of time -  I had some time in the hospital while he was having surgery, or chemo.. or any number of things which required that I sit and just

be there for him.

Keep in mind, he was just sleeping.... and sleeping... and taking pain medications.. and sleeping. You get the picture, anyway I had some time to just browse through

some of my favorite Antique sites, blogs, and of course one of my favorites- Pinterest.

Enjoy some of my favorite Vintage crushes-
