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-

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-

Twas the night before Cookie Bake

'

'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.

( we have barn cats...)

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
in hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there. 

Maybe at our annual family cookie bake ?

The utensils were nestled all snug in their bed.. Umm... I mean drawer.

 While visions of sugar plums.. & COOKIES danced in our head. . . the pretty ones.

Like these below.
( Cookie Images Via Country Living & Pinterest)

When out on the roof there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from my chair to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
tore open the shutter, and threw up the sash. 


Oh, wait. . . It was the whiz of the mixer, sprinkles  and icing being dropped on the floor, chatter, laughter and a good time being had by all !
Or maybe, it was Santa . . .


"Now Dasher! Now Dancer!
Now, Prancer and Vixen!
On, Comet! On, Cupid!
On, Donner and Blitzen!
To the top of the porch!
To the top of the wall!
Now dash away! Dash away!
Dash away all!"

We spoke not a word, but went straight to our work, and filled all the stockings, then turned with a jerk.

( Really, we just ate some of the

   cookies. . Yum  )


We tried to save some  for neighbors, workers & friends. And of course- one or two for Old St.Nick  -  maybe the Reindeer ? 


But I heard him exclaim, 'ere he drove out of sight,


"Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!"


We hope you take some time to enjoy the season
and make some beautiful memories with family
and friends.


Till next time-

* Mice were seen on nanaluluslinensandhandkerchiefs.com.  Cute Ugh ?

A little behind.

I'm A little behind

After two and half weeks in Houston- My Darling and I are back home and I am scrambling to take care of him.. see some family and of course DECORATE the house for Christmas. My Darling’s favorite season and he loves the entire house slathered in festive attire.

Yes, It's True. . . It still has it's prime coat. It will be an after Christmas project. I know,
another one. But decorated - so I get brownie points, don't  I  ? ?

Aubrie pushed me, and pushed me- but so glad she did. The house looks very pretty- and my Dad came out to “brighten up the place” with outdoor lights.

Very hard for My Darling to lay on the sofa and watch. . . but that’s the Doctors orders for the time being. We are trying to get his strength up so we can begin a new regimen of Chemo the 2nd week of December- we think.

Hated to cover my view out to the pasture, but Santa had to go somewhere.

Next weekend we will host the annual cookie-bake.

We visit, make tons & tons of cookies, and sample a few along the way  :)  

You know- just to let you know which ones were our favorites.

Right ?  

Just a few snippets today- next week I will show the entire

 kitchen- BEFORE everyone converges on us for the "cookie-bake" and then I'm sure it won't be 

quite as clean. . .  H-m-m-m-  

Till next time-
