Good bye Jackie...we loved you!

Until you two meet again....

A few close-ups....and done

Ok.. here we go with a few close-ups and then this is the end of the tour...lol
I think you can get an idea of what most of it looks like. For the most part I am happy with the way it turned out...but I never say I am done because I am always changing things.
I am working on a few more cross stitch patterns...hoping to make some progress this weekend...I will post what I have done later....but for some reason I have had fall on my mind...maybe it is all the projects that I see on your blogs...I look forward to some cooler weather. Be Blessed.

Folk art or primitve?

I hope this is not too many pictures for those of you on dial-up...but I wanted you to get an idea of where things were in the room. I still have a few pictures to go that I will save until tomorrow.
I flags near the ceiling were a new investment this year. I just loved them and there were only two left so I thought I just better get them...and I do adore how they look.
I think it is looking somewhat primitive and alot folk art..what do you think?
Also the prints of George and Martha were done by Dianna Swartz..folk artist here locally...I love her stuff. If you follow my blog you have seen her Christmas prints.
Well, I will try to finish the pictures tomorrow and then move on to something else..are you bored yet? Blessings....

I love George and Martha....

A few more small glimpses into my new decor. I just love George and Martha...I think they may be my favs...but there is much more to see...

Porch make-over

This is what you see when you sep into our back porch. Our porch is an enclosed porch just like all the old houses used to have. When you open the back door from outside this is facing you to the right. I didn't realize how many pictures I had taken so I will have to post more tomorrow so that this doesn't get too boring.
I tryed to take a few close-ups so you could get a better look at some of the items i have on the shelves.
Again, as I said yesterday, ALL of the furniture came from basemart...and at least half of the decorations. Some are mine...and some might look familar. The stitcheries I gave to my sister for her birthday but she returned them yesterday telling me to hang them for now...so you will see them to the left. I will share more pics tomorrow...hope you aren't bored. Be blessed...

Back porch gets make-over...

Well... i spent part of my 4th of July redecorating the back porch. Do you remember that i decorated it a while back. i took out my trunk...I brought in a wooden cabinet then I opened the doors and decorated the inside. Well...I have been so tired of that.LOL So I went shopping at basemart. Do you have a basemart? You know.. a place where your sister keeps all the furniture that she isn't using right now? LOL
Well, I have been wanted to put out some Americana items and I had purchased a few things and of course I had items in my basement...but basemart had this lovely black furniture just waiting for me....so take a peek.
I am almost done...just a little more to do and then I will post again.
