If only....

all of us could find this much JOY! in doing the dishes...

What a difference .....

Wow. What a difference a year makes..Sweet Addi has changed so much! We love her so...

Friday and a Friend...

All I can say is YAY! It has been a loooooooooooong week...My sweet friend Lynn gave me this nest, isn't it nice? I love the color of the eggs, I have it perched on my mantel in my bedroom...Thanks Lynn! and if you happen to read this, thanks for the cute t shirt you surprised me with yesterday! You are a great friend. Not much planned this weekend, just a lot of catching up around the house...how about you? whatever you do...enjoy!

Monogram!

Monograms seem to be what's going on lately...so I jumped on that band wagon right away...I had our guest room pillow shams done at my local embroidery shop and I love them! I really changed this room out from cottagey and feminine to a more simple look. I even caught Addi admiring them! ya right...she was up to no good when I caught her climbing over the foot board of the bed...Have a good Tuesday!

A little retail therapy...

First I want to thank all of my blog buddies for their kind words and uplifting comments! You are the best! How did you know that was exactly what I needed to hear! I love Blog land..I do have to apologize for my last post...a new day and a little retail therapy helped. (plus a 1/2 bag of Dove chocolate eggs.)I know this can be dangerous,(to my hips and my pocketbook) but I stayed within my budget. I got this sweet bird and nest plaque at TJ Max, it is made out of a heavy plaster. Perfect hanging on my wall in my Tattered nest office/studio...Of course I had to pick up a new purse for spring and I also found the sweetest little nest full of eggs rubber stamp...do you see a pattern here? Kinda obsessed with anything related to birds, nests, eggs, lately. So all in all it lifted my spirits a bit...today will be even better! My three sisters are taking me to lunch for a belated birthday celebration! My oldest sister ( retired) has been gone for a month to Mexico, so we waited for her to come home to celebrate...I am off to lunch toting my new purse. Have a nice Sunday!

Got the bloggin blues.....

I am a sad sack today, just got the blah's....aren't you glad you stopped by ? Not much to blog about. I was suppose to go with my girlfriend's this weekend to a cabin up north but it got postponed...so I am pondering what to do. The weather here has been so cold... WE NEED A CHANGE! I can't wait to go walking again with Addi. And I really need a good garage/estate sale to get my blood movin again... I think I will go look in the paper and see if I can scope one out! Sorry so negative today...I hope everyone has a great weekend!

bits and pieces of Easter...

Happy Wednesday Blog buddies! just thought I would share some pictures of my Easter decorations...Although it is one of my favorite holidays,I don't do a lot of decorating for Easter, just my harvest tables...this is what is on my dinning room table this year. How about you? do you go over the top for Easter or keep it simple???
