My Most Favorite Piece.....

This cabinet won my heart at the Brimfield Antique Fair many years ago....

Such precious detail....

The only thing I wasn't crazy about were the drawer pulls so I replaced them with a wired ribbon.... so easy, so cheap!

I thoroughly enjoy decorating and re-decorating the upper cabinet while the lower cabinet houses craft supplies and various sundries

It was covered with a yellowish/brown film and smelled of smoke. So we put it out in the yard, washed and hosed it down and left it in the sun all day. The result.... CLEAN and white! And the best part.... the paint crackled...YUP... all on its own from drying in the sun!!

I put the cabinet at the end of my upstairs hallway (which is a balcony so I'm able to enjoy it from the first floor as well)

I know.... SO many pictures... but I couldn't resist sharing them ALL with you!

Garden Sheds Galore!

I was browsing the web....looking for some landscaping ideas (yeah....thinking Spring!) when this amazing shed popped up and I was easily sidetracked.

I thought you might like to take a winter break and ride the track as well.....

I'm curious..... which one(s) do YOU like best??

Happy New Year From Our Home to Yours!!

The day after Christmas brought us nearly a foot of snow which made for a great photo opportunity

This is our garden shed which, once Spring gets here, is going to get an inside overhaul.

Music to my eyes....

My ever thoughtful Mother in-law, who lives in Daytona Beach, sent me this beautifully wrapped Christmas gift which was SO lovely that I had to take a picture! And then...when I opened the box.... was I ever thrilled!!

Oh YES, six of the sweet little music note song birds that I so coveted and blogged about in my post of November 23rd!!

Thank you Dot for bringing me joy!!

Merry Christmas

I hope all my friends and family have a wonderful day filled with love and laughter with those you hold near and dear to your hearts!!

Sharing more of my holiday decor...

Angel ornaments repurposed...

I saw these angel ornaments at Targ-jay ($1 each!!!) and knew immediately they'd be perfect as place seating cards for my Christmas dinner table

I simply used rub-on letters for each guests initials and then replaced the ribbon with a tinsel-like wire for a halo

So easy and guests can take them home as a keepsake!

When I spotted this birdhouse barn at HomeGoods I knew it would be the perfect backdrop for a nativity-like scene

Isn't baby Jesus just the sweetest...

Snow Birds....

I transformed this little birdbath (which usually resides outdoors in my rock garden) to a welcoming winter home for some sweet little snow birds
