Worth the wait....

Somethings are worth waiting for.......

like my beautiful island John made me.....and my little $30 cabinet,all it needed was a fresh coat of paint....the silver pieces I found for $15 have a new home too....the island stools were a gift from my Dad, funny how things just seem to come together isn't it? My next project will be the sunroom.....my inspiration???? my new Jeanne D'arc curtains I won from Tracey over at "FRENCH LARKSPUR" I have no words to explain how happy I am......thank you so much Tracey, I will try to do them justice......~Chrissy~

I am so excited!!

Good morning!! Oh I am so excited to show you what I have been working on.....I can hardly wait!!! Hope you will come by on Tuesday and see what it is.......I have been so inspired by other blogs and by the wonderful Jeanne D' Arc magazine....gotta go ......still so much to do! All the best ~Chrissy~

Special Delivery......

John & I had said "stockings only" for each other....clearly this lovely island he made me did not fit in my stocking!! It does however fit quite nicely in our kitchen.....hes so good to me!! Can't believe its all over for another year..hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas.....gotta go find a couple of island stools now! ~Chrissy~

Merry Christmas.....

Wishing each & everyone of you a very Merry Christmas.....all the best~Chrissy~

Everything must come to end.......

On a recent & rare trip up to the attic John found this old grate....covered with old newspapers and years of dust.Now its on our kitchen counter,he assures me there are no more treasures in this house.....but he has told me that before !! Thanks for stopping in, Chrissy
