Outdoor fireplaces

A place to enjoy with family and friends.

I would especially love one this time of year,

so cozy and inviting.

I can imagine sitting outside at sunset, with a glass of

wine, a warm blanket, maybe a good book.

I could really get into one of these

Look theres my bottle of wine and a candle

Cozy comfortable seating

Even a bar, to entertain

Oh another bottle of wine and my wine glass

A dinner party for friends

My book and my warm blanket

And the family dog loves it too

Enjoy the changes of the season, fall is upon us!

INSPIRED

I am so often inspired by others creations,

I look at pictures on the internet of what others have

created and I am so inspired and in awe. 

There is so much creativity among us.

I love talent and creative people!!

Simple things make me happy

Bulap with stamped lettering

This beautiful arrangement using things from nature outside the store of

"The Curious Sofa"

Taking a tea saucer that no longer has a companion tea cup and putting a bar of soap tied with a bow, great idea for a gift

Adorable idea using sweaters, that have been washed and shrunk and hung on the crib, you could also use this idea for the windows

This one struck me when I realized my hose was just lying on the ground, take a bucket and wrap your hose around it, too cute

Linen and old sacks, cross stitch a saying or name maybe initials,

cross stitching is quite simple to do

Found this the other day while surfing, I adore old books, this idea is so creative and a great way way to show-off your creative side

Another idea for old books,  especially the books where the covers maybe are missing or completely destroyed, tie with some twine and showcase them

This is such a cute bag, seems easy enough to make,

or is it!!!

A tin can, punched with a design, candle inside and hung from a tree

Thought this was quite adorable and useful, my daughter could use one of these in her room, a picture frame with chicken wire fastened to the back

Inspiration Board

 I have to make one of these for myself,

using a frame put cork inside the frame

and paint it WHITE

And, this creative lady, used a tee shirt and

cut it up to make this adorable scarf

~NO sewing involved~

Love this idea for the stairs, paint your stairs color of your choice,

trim out for the middle color when dry stencil some numbers of letters

GO BE CREATIVE

I get very creative this time of year

Inspiration has hit me, how about you?

Yard Sale Weekend

I am having a yard sale, front porch sale and in house sale on Saturday 9-2, Sunday 9-2

I have been cleaning out my basement, the kids rooms. 

Also the front rooms of my house, which have had stuff stored in them for way to long, we have to get the front rooms emptied out, so we can insulate and redo these rooms, we have a pool table and lots of fun stuff to go in these rooms. 

I can't wait until there done

I don't think the rest of the family can wait for me to clean them out either.

I have been getting ready for this yard sale for 3 weeks. 

I have scoured the house for things I don't use

I am somewhat of a perfectionist,

I have to have all the stuff near perfect, clean and all priced and set up. 

I have been fortunate because I can use the front rooms for the yard sale items, and I can

have the rooms all set up

The big furniture items are on my front porch, so I can have my boys carry these things onto the

front lawn.

I love yard sales myself, I tend to buy too many things.

I quess you could call me a YARD SALE JUNKIE

I'm sure there are others out there like that too!!!!!

You know who I'm talking about

With all that said, wish me luck this weekend.

I'm going to use the money to pay for the insulation for my front rooms

SHADES OF FALL

Living in New England. 

The fall is such a beautiful time of year. 

My favorite by far, the weather is perfect, the colors are awesome.

The leaves start to change color, slow enough that we can enjoy

the beautiful colors

Homes start to change their decorations, pumpkins come out

Crows are starting to show up on fences

Corn stalks, fall festivals, craft fairs

I can feel it in the air

Some pictures of inspiration to share with you all

Hooked On Friday

I am hooked on Friday, because tomorrow is Saturday, and I'm going yard saling,

I am going to be on the lookout for a dresser like this that I can paint white and use in my

master bathroom!

Wish me luck

I'll let you know how I make out with this one

I love this look, the mirror is awesome also

White Wednesday

I know I can, and I LOVE it!!!!!

God is Great ~ Faith is everlasting

If God brings you to it , he will bring you through it"

Follow God's chosen path for us, and we will always be on the right path,
which will lead us to greater things, we will prosper beyond our wildest dreams
