Uh Oh……..

001

 Somebody has been playing in Grandmother's makeup drawer...


002
I really couldn't fuss, since I  finally did consent  with the stipulation of "No Mascara!" thinking I'd be safe.


003
Boy, was I wrong!!!!! What a mess!!!!!

004
Here's the after picture after about 15 minutes of cleaning.

005
Ahh! Back to normal.  Can any of you girls relate? :)

I'm joining Susan's Met Monday at Between Naps on the Porch. Join the fun!

HAVE A SUNNY, BEAUTIFUL SUNDAY

Strawberry Inspired

Tablescape Thursday I'm joining Susan's Tablescape Thursday today.

021
 I'm calling it my Strawberry inspired tablescape. (I finally got my Winter stuff put away in the DR today)

022
 Here's what inspired me.  I loved these strawberry placemats I found recently at an estate sale for a steal.
024
 Today, I'm using my new, red ceramic table rings. They are from a store I found on Ebay that I absolutely love! http://stores.ebay.com/Lake-Forest-Kitchen-Lady. She has the cutest vintagey looking stuff.
026
 I thought my strawberry plate fit right in.
025
 Red geraniums (not real) in my red coffeepot, and a few other reds and greens.
027
and I was all set.
031
Thanks for stopping by to see me today. I loved having you, and have a SUNNY day.

Thrifting with Reds

012 MY Valentine present was, that I didn't have to cook, so I went
antiquing/thrifting yesterday. Found this red handled biscuit cutter for $.50 and the red topped jar, which I have been wanting (although it was $10)

023I love my RED rooster towel holder.

015
 Love polka dots. Found this small dish recently at TJ MAX
004
 My Favorite find from yesterday was these two embroidered pillowcases for $15 for the pair.
001
 I like them with my Yo Yo quilt in the "red" bedroom.

005
The pretty rose embroidered ones were from a yard sale. I Just love to find cute bargains!


These pretty strawberry placemats are a recent estate sale find. They were only $2 for 4 of them.


Thanks for stopping by, and I'm joining:
Leigh at Tales from Bloggeritaville for "Thrifty Thursday"
Suzanne at The Colorado Lady for "Vintage Thingy Thursday" and
Sue at It's A Very Cherry World for "REDNESDAY"

THANKS TO ALL THREE GIRLS FOR THESE WONDERFUL, FUN PARTIES.

Valentine Table A Little Late

026
Hi, I hope everybody is getting ready for Valentine's Day on Tuesday.

008
I set my Valentine's Table in the Sunroom (I'm a little late for the Party)

011

I used my metal birdcage as a centerpiece, and the white doves fit in perfectly.

009
These two lovebirds fit right in with Valentine's Day.

017
See the Valentine cookies up there in the plate?

027
This is what happened to them after I took the pictures. hehehehehehe! Valentines cookies don't last long with a granddaughter around.

I love the blue birds.
