Romantic Country Magazine Revisited.....My Home

I am excited and honored to be in the lastest issue of Romantic Country Magazine, Summer 2009. I want to thank Fifi O'neil, Sunday Hendrickson and photographer John Ellis for their hard work and effort. It was such a fun day and when I say day, I mean they were here almost 10 hours. You think they just come in snap a few pics and waa laa.... but theres so much more that goes into this. I will give you a sneek peek but you should go out and buy the magazine because its full of great eye candy and inspiration for that decorating and creative fix we all crave.

To Cool For School........

This weekend on my hunt for "Fascinatingfinds" I stumbled across this great Bamboo and Wicker Bike. I've never seen one like this, have you? When I spotted it I thought.......this is the coolest thing I've ever seen. Picture this in your garden or in your store for a fabulous display. Its Soooo Tommy Bahama or Ralph Lauren with a little Hawaiiana. Omg and if you cruise around on this cool cruiser you'll be the talk of the town. If anyone has any idea or info on a bicycle like this I hope you'll pass on the info. The man I bought this from bought this used many years ago in Hawaii. By the way you can see more pictures of this on my ebay sight, just click the link.

I don't take the time to Blog!!! Let alone read all of your blogs that I love. Can someone knock me over my head so I can get myself to slow down. Between listing on my Ebay, Keeping my Store stocked where I sell my goods, Keeping up with my Website (which I've been awful at), Chasing every Flea Market I can get to, My gardening, My house, My hubby, I mean honestly how do you gals do it. I don't even have any little ones around anymore. Oh and if I don't have enough on my plate my friend made me get a facebook, I mean come on!~!~!! So I am taking a moment and I will just throw on a few pics that I can pull out of my computer till I really have something important to say.....I'm so out of practice at this my pics went in first instead of last, now I'm afraid to move them cause then you won't be able to click and enlarge them...and you have to click on those gorgeous pink roses.

Vintage Glam Project.....Flea Market Find

Well we've all seen these little Swivel Vanity Chairs before but I thought this one was so cute when I spotted it at the Flea Market this week with its fench Blue Velvet Tufted Seat with little Tassels.

There looked to be something missing on the back so I found a pair of Vintage Earings with White Stones and Rhinestones so I proceeded to cut the clip on backs off and glued one on the front and one on the back and waalaa!

By no means am I a crafty person but I thought it came out pretty cute.

P.S. you will find this among my other fascinatingfinds on ebay

Spring Has Sprung....A Happy Day

INSPIRATION FOR SPRING

Don't know how I did it but click to enlarge

A look off my Back Patio

Its a glorious day here in California and everything is beginning to Bloom. I planted Snapdragons last year and low and behold when they all seemed to die in the winter they dropped their seeds and now they are comming in more gorgeous then ever, So I thought I'd share with you some pictures for inspiration since those of you back east are still waiting for your spring.

Can someone help my BFF Debra....or sometimes known as Betz....

I'm puttin it out there in the universe, if there is someone that can help my friend Debra from The English Cottage Collection...I got her into this bloggin thing and she has now totally surpassed me, I know this isn't a contest but omg she has the greatest blogs next to that other Deb at Talkin Trash. Anyway I can't seem to figure out (nor can she) why my pics will enlarge with a click and hers won't. So after you enjoy reading her posts I know you gals out there can help her, so give her a visit and help my dear old friend out. I can only do so much..........I'm exhausted, you know I'm just kidding Betz.

While I'm here I will share with you a little project I've been working on the last couple of days. My middle son moved out a year ago and left his poor momma with an empty room I just always loaded with crap. If you know what I mean. Well a Pair of Vintage Tole Wall Sconces inspired me to start cleaning up that space and this is how it stands today...no before pics but believe me its a big improvement.

Now when he comes home my sweet son Tracy can sleep in the Guest Room.

And just a note for my friend Jennifer from The Old Painted Cottage...you all know who she is, we are still awaiting the unveiling of your Darling Shabby Chic Cottage

OH MY GOSH THIS IS HILARIOUS AFTER ALL THAT I PREVIEWED MY POST AND NOW I CAN'T CLICK AND ENLARGE MY PICS...OH WELL IT GOT A NEW POST OUT OF ME!

I GUESS I'M THE ONE THAT NEEDS HELP CALL 911 I'M LOOSING MY MIND
