Happy Easter

Forget the ham, roasted asparagus with parmesan, sweet potatoes, creamed onions, olives, bread and butter pickles, and on and on . . .

                                              all I want is dessert!
                             
     

HELLOOOO

Yes, it has been a while.  Winter is almost gone, I hope, Easter is around the corner, and SPRING weather should arrive any week now.

The flower shop downtown has the spirit.

                       TO SPRING !

Holiday House IV

Finally, the living room.  Our brand new 9 ft. faux tree, I bought for 75% off last year when we returned from a southern Christmas, all the ornaments we have collected for years, and a touch of pink!

The "touch of pink" was not so easy.  I was hoping to find a pink that didn't fight with the pink pillows on the sofa. I had pretty much given up when a pair of curtains jumped out at me at Goodwill, where else?

So, I bought the two panels for $5.99, made bows, covered a little foot stool, and added pink backing to some felt ornaments. 

Pink on the tree and pink on the mantle, tie the room together.

I think I am done for this year, but who knows...it's only December 6th!?!?!

Holiday House III

Simplicity reigns in the front hall.  Everything is pretty much white with a few gold accents thrown in, along with a leopard rug!

So I decided to keep it that way. 

A touch of tassel for the season...

and some glittery gold.

Yep, there they are...my bed sheet bows!

The eyelet trim (from the sheet) even found a home.

A peek into the living room... can't go any further,  the tree is not quite done and the mantle just begun!

Holiday House II

I  have really been into white this year, painting my front hall and living room White Dove.  My dining room is Monroe Bisque (not sure I love it) with white cotton duck seat covers. 

 So, after hanging the garland on the dining room mantle and weaving a gold and white ribbon through it, I stood back and decided it looked pretty yucky! It needed white and not that flimsy white ribbon they sell everywhere!  So I had to improvise...

The white cotton duck I had left over from the chairs was too heavy and I could find nothing in the house.

Off to Goodwill where I found a brand spanking clean white sheet for $3.99.  

Ripped into pieces, ironed to about four inches wide, and yes, it made beautiful bows and bedecking for not only this mantle but for the staircase too. (Another day.)

The white cotton duck slipcovers got into the Christmas spirit with the addition of a napkin marked Smithsonian Institute (it should say Goodwill, 25 cents).

Thrilled with my bed sheet bows, I have just one little problem.  What do I do with the bow made from the sheet's eyelet trim?

                              Hmmmmmm...
