~*Spring Is In The Air*~

Hello dear blogging friends! I can't believe I have been away for so long...I guess you could say that the winter weather had gotten the best of me and my inspiration was zilch...but that has since changed...I decided to show you a little of my spring decorating.

Enjoy!

A small chair with spring flowers and a cupboard in the powder room.
A dresser in the living room and a small nest in the powder room.

The dining room table and the top of my computer hutch.

Little rabbits purchased at the thrift store last year.

A kitchen window sill decorated with rabbits...the rabbits in the middle were purchased at Big Lots a LONG time ago...and two small rabbit baskets purchased last year on clearance...only $1 each!

A lamp with a pip berry candle ring, a candle with a pip berry candle ring and an artificial plant on the computer hutch.

Wishing all of you dear blogging friends a very Happy Valentine's Day!

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

Thanks to all of you sweet friends who left me a comment on my last post...I always appreciate you taking the time to visit me!

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

Several of you asked me some questions and I'd like to try and answer them...here goes: Esther wanted to know what my kitchen looked like. If you click here you can view my kitchen tour held back in September. Heidi wanted to know if we had gotten any horses yet. No we have not...I'm sure come April or May we'll be on the lookout for some quarterhorses. Kirstin wanted to know if our home was old or whether we built it. It is very old. The house was built at two different times. The front part of the house, where the wrap around porch is is estimated to be over 150 years old and it is log, although you wouldn't know it to look at it. The back part of the house, where the kitchen is, isn't as old, but I don't know for sure when it was built. Terri wanted to know if I could show pictures of our bedroom. I checked through my posts and found that I had posted pictures of the bedroom, but that was last spring/summer so I'll work on getting more recent pictures...thanks for asking, Terri!

~* Hmmmmmm *~

Hello dear blogging friends...thank you all for your sweet words on my last post...there are so many kind people in this blogging world. Again, I thank you from the bottom of my heart!

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

I'm so sorry that I have been MIA. I'm completely recovered from my sickness so that isn't what has kept me away. I'm afraid I have nothing to post about...I honestly can't think of one thing! I haven't been to any thrift stores so I can't post about a treasure I have found and I do believe I've shown you everything in our home so I'd hate to repeat myself. Hopefully I'll get out of this slump soon!

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

I thought I'd share this picture of another view of our home...I long for the green grass, warm temperatures and being able to sit on our porch or deck reading a favorite magazine and sipping iced tea or lemonade...a girl can dream can't she????

~* Some New Items *~

Hello dear blogging friends, I hope all is well with all of you! I'm feeling better, but still not 100%. Whatever this bug is it sure likes hanging around. I still have a few more days of antibiotics so hopefully it will knock-out whatever I have. DD is doing better, too. She ended up with a sinus infection (just like me) but hers went into her eyes as well so she is also on a prescription eye drop plus antibiotics.

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

I thought I'd show you some new things around my home. This picture is of WELCOME blocks that I got from a Home and Garden Party my dh's niece had several months ago. We just found out yesterday that she is expecting her first child...I'm so excited to be a great Aunt again!

I found this tin sign at a favorite local shop. I just need to figure out where to hang it in my kitchen...I'm getting a lot of signs.
I found this wonderful little black cupboard at Wal-mart in the craft section for $10.00. I'm going to use it as a spice rack. I found some Watkins spices at Wal-mart in vintage looking tins that I think will look sweet in this cupboard.

And last but not least a cookie jar given to me by my friend, Beth, for Christmas. It goes perfect with my decor...Thank You, I just love it!

Thank you for stopping by for a visit...I always enjoy your company and the sweet comments so many of you leave for me.

~* It's A Miracle & The Laundry Room *~

Hello sweet blogging friends, I honestly thought that I would be away for awhile the way I was feeling yesterday (thank you for your get well wishes). I got lots of rest yesterday, had a half decent nights sleep and awoke feeling so much better (those must be some miracle pills I'm taking)! Although I am definitely not back to feeling 100% better I know that I am on the road to recovery...PRAISE THE LORD!!! Please keep my dd in your prayers, she is going to see the doctor today because she hasn't been feeling well for a week now, too.

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

I wanted to share with you some embroidery pictures that I found before Christmas at Tractor Supply. If you've never been into one of these stores I encourage you to visit right around Thanksgiving...they have the nicest gift...who would have known?

I have them hung in my laundry room above my washer and dryer. I think they fit in so nicely there.

I got the wooden plate at Goodwill for .99 cents. I decided to put a picture of my dh and his 3 older brothers inside (his baby brother wasn't born yet). I think it's so sweet. My dh has some great picture of his childhood that I'm going to put into a collage if I ever get around to it.

Do you see what's behind this basket of pine and pip berries...my unsightly hoses for my washer.

I hope you enjoyed this little tour of my laundry room updates. Take care, dear blogging friends!
