Is there change in the air?

                          Been dreaming of spring?  I know I am....

                                        these lovely photos made me want it even more....

                                    its time dear winter for you to quietly disappear....

                                       you've been here long enough....

                                  its time for spring to shine on us.....

                                           please !!!!!   May your Sunday afternoon be wonderful ! x0x0 (photos from "suziebeezie"

Fresh as a daisy......

                                Saturday morning we headed off to the market....got some pretty spring daisys....

                                  then somehow we ended up at "Antique Avenue" again......

                                     not my idea.....o.k it was....but look what I found.... 

                                these beautiful old envelopes...for just $1,now mind you I did have to do some"picking" to find them but they were worth it don't you think? I love when you stop by and let me know you've been here....just makes me soooooo happy!!! x0x0

                           

My Dearest......

                                     An old apothecary bottle set the tone for a mantle re-do...

                                          a bit of candle light.....

                                      a silver cross & an old dried hydrangea.......

                               and a tiny piece of an old love letter we found behind a wall during the kitchen reno......"My dear Helen" it reads.....and goes on to say how sorry the writer is.....

                                 for what we will never know.....   

                                               I think spring is around the corner ......

                                         theres just something in the air.....

                                         can you feel it too?  Wishing you a lovely day......x0x0

My heart skipped a beat....

                                          Good morning!!!! Just wanted to say thank you for all the heartfelt notes on my kitchen post.....your all just lovely!!!   Went back to "ANTIQUE AVENUE" on the weekend...

                                  where I found my french mirror....when I saw this old sign my heart skipped a beat.....I have always wanted one like this!!!! When I asked the price it was all I could do not to squeal....ready.....$7 (time for my happy dance) did I tell you I only paid $28 for the mirror?!?!?

                                Anyway I love it....think I will be going back there on a weekly basis!  Till next time,all the best my friends!! x0x0

The wait is over.....the kitchen is finished !!!

Good morning.....at last the doors are on and the kitchen is finished....

there is nothing left to do but enjoy it......

and oh I am!! Found this funky little cabinet at Homesense...

the french letter was a gift from sweet Tracey (FRENCH LARKSPUR)

I love how the counters turned out...so rich looking..and very easy to take care of too....

had so much fun adding all the little touches.....

oh and of course my new/old french mirror...my pretty plate rack...






and our old doorbell.....that still works! Thank you all so much for coming to see it...your kind comments really do make me happy! Till next time....x0x0
