Nothing Fancy...But It Works For Me

Hey guys....I hope everyone had a great Mother's Day....I was with my family all weekend..it started out Friday with Sister...we spent the day shopping and doing lunch....Saturday Baby Girl, Jen, did a special Mother's Day brunch for me and mama..ohhh it was so good! Then went shopping all evening with Jen....Sunday I was surrounded by the kids and grandbabies....I even got a call from Ashley and got to hear Little Eli in the background for the first time...ohhhhh hankie moment there....heard from my babies in Oklahoma and on top of all that....I haven't seen the hummingbirds but one time and that was early Spring...I look for them everyday...well early Sunday Morning Bill opened the back door and said "Hon..come look outside!" I ran to the back and there was two hummers on the feeder!!!!!!! Ohhhhh I squealed so loud....what a beautiful gift from the Lord!!!!!

I'm still putting stuff together in the Toile bedroom....I added the Bombay chest and the gate mirror back in....

Remember the beautiful hand embroidered pillowcases I got from our very own Theresa @ Take a Sentimental Journey....well...I bought the pretty shadow boxes and mounted them in there and live with it for about a week..they were black with the black velvet background...very pretty and very elegant looking....ohhhh it messed with me everytime I looked at them!!!! They just seemed so cold and so impersonal!

Several weeks ago I had bought this heavy metal garden hanger at Big Lots for $10.....I knew I loved it just didn't know where to put it.....

Well....I just took two little grapevine wreaths and hung the pillowcases all natural and I LOVE IT!!!!! It is so me and so different and has such a warm loving feel to it...I know..I know...that only makes sense to me! Theresa if you are seeing this ..please don't be offended...you know how much I love and cherish these treasures!

I love old straw hats hanging on mirrors or pegs....
I still can't decide about window treatments.....

I can't wait to do the picture frame molding below the chair rail....

I love having the little chest in there...years ago I aways thought I had to have the tall chest of drawers...the matching double dresser...the matching nightstands.the matching bed...I gave those things away years ago...I just like odd and end pieces in the bedrooms....See the old rusty looking garden tools....Bill thought I had bought it to hang in the laundry room for his old work coat and hats...silly man!!!!!

I just absolutley love this.....

I still tear up when I look at them and all the beautiful handstitching she put into these...

There is my favorite bunny and my middle Burly Boys rock collection he had as a little boy...(Yes I still have them!!!!)

So that's another piece added to the room....
Ok here's a peek at one of my treasures I got for Mother's Day...it is a huge fatty.. crackled...mustard colored pitcher...ohhhhh you know I squealed when I opened it!!!! Don't know where it is going just yet but I love it!!!
Here is a sign I got for myself at Kirklands...had it clearanced down..it fits perfect on the side of my old cabinet.....OHHHHHH AND GLORY YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT JC PENNEYS HAD ON CLEARANCE....IT'S RED.....IT'S CREAM....IT'S CURTAIN'S AND IT'S TOILE!!!!! Mine will be here in a few days!!!!! lol lol That's what I been playing with in the house..so far....

Take care you guys and have a great week...do something to make yourself smile....when you're happy those around you can feel your joy....Love you guys! ~♥~
