Aprons

Thank you for all of your kind comments about my swing and settee...I really do love my porch and I wish that I could invite all of you over for a visit!

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Here is a picture of the aprons that I found recently. I decided to hang them off of the beadboard that we had installed in our home awhile ago. I'm not sure this is where they will stay, but for now I'm happy with them there. (Click on the picture to enlarge so you can see them up close...I think they're adorable!--hmmm, not sure why it isn't working...sorry ladies!)

My Porch

One of my favorite parts of our home is the front porch. The sweet people my dh and I work for gave us this lovely porch swing. It's from a company called Country Casual. The second picture is of my wicker settee. I covered it with a bedspread that I got from my church's bazaar. It has a very small hole in it but I thought it would work on my porch to make it a little cozier!

A Star and A Sign

There is a great store in my area called the WOW Outlet. I think it's called that because when you look at their wonderful items and prices all you can say is WOW...lol! I found this great star lamp and sign and just knew they'd be the perfect addition to my kitchen decor.

Church Bazaar Goodies!

Thank you all for the sweet comments left about the fork and spoon windchime made by my Dear Dad!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Last Saturday morning I headed off to my church's annual bazaar. I found some great items all for $6.00! Here is what I found: a birdhouse, a pictures with two birds (seems to be painted on silk), two metal picture frames, wooden basket with pipberries (a great place to store my magazines), a small rocker, two old books, a small picture, and a great old pill box! I also found several more aprons and a great bedspread, but I didn't get pictures of those items yet. I want to get the aprons laundered and ironed, then I'll be sure and post a picture of them.

Show and Tell...Late Again!

My dear Dad was a tinkerer (is that a word???)...he loved taking everyday objects and turning them into something else. This is one of his projects. He took spoons and a fork and made them into a wind chime (I wish you could here their gentle tinkling). The fork is the top part of the wind chime. He bent the tines (two facing forward and two bent backwards) and also bent the ends so there were little hooks on each end. He flattened four spoons and added small holes on the top of each spoon. He then took fishing line and attached the spoons to the forks. Although my dear Dad is home in Heaven, I believe you'd find him tinkering there, too! Thank you for coming by to look at my Show and Tell! Please visit Kelli's sweet blog for more Show and Tell!
